1. Quick Setup
This section briefly describes how to install your Repeater

recommend that you follow the procedures described in the
rest of this guide.

To install your Repeater/Cross Repeater:
1. Switch off all devices.
2. Connect the interconnect cable to the local device’s
interconnect socket and the repeater/cross repeater.
3. Connect the interconnect cable to the remote device’s
interconnect socket and the repeater/cross repeater.
4. Connect the 5-VDC power supply to the repeater.
NOTE: Use only the power supply that you received with this

4. Service Setup
For most applications, you won’t need to make any
adjustments to set up your repeater/cross repeater.
For some applications, you may need to open the repeater.
Unscrew the UNC-type screws on both sides of the monitor
connections. Put the lower and upper shells of the case
aside.

2. Installation
For first-time users, we recommend that you carry out a test
placement, confined to a single room, before installing it
fully. This will enable you to identify and solve any cabling
problems, and experiment with the Repeater/Cross Repeater
more conveniently.
