Manager

The Vianect AIR TV DisplayLink Manager helps you configure the screen settings of your TV set or projector. Depending on the application, select one of the possible working modes:

쎲 Mirror mode – Screen content of the computer is

reflected exactly to the TV set or projector.

쎲 Extended mode – Television or projector screen

serves as screen extension

In the factory defaults, the Vianect AIR TV is set to mirroring.

5.1 Mirror mode

The mirror mode reflects the screen display of the computer identically to the TV set or projector. This setting is particularly useful for applications such as pres- entations or slide shows. This allows slide content,

images, etc. to be presented conveniently on a larger and higher-resolution screen.

devolo Vianect AIR TV

24 Vianect AIR TV DisplayLink Manager

5.2 Extended mode

The extended mode is particularly useful for playing back different content on each screen. In this case, the screen connected via the Vianect AIR TV adapter serves as an expansion or addition to the computer screen. The advantage: individual images positioned next to each other can be "joined together" to create a composite image; this allows you to view multiple applications simultaneously so you can work in them. Extended mode is ideally suited for playing back HD videos (1280 x 720).

The image quality of videos played back directly from the Internet can be optimised using Adobe Flash Player. For detailed information on this topic, refer to the Help file of the Vianect AIR Manager or the online FAQs on our website, www.devolo.com

1 Warranty coverage

a) The warranty covers the equipment delivered and all its parts.

Parts will, at devolo's sole discretion, be replaced or repaired free of charge if, despite proven proper handling and adherence to the operating instructions, these parts became defective due to fabrication and/or material defects. Alternatively, devolo reserves the right to replace the defective product with a comparable product with the same specifications and features. Operating manuals and possibly supplied software are excluded from the warranty.

not shipping and handling costs involved in transport from the buyer to the service station and/or to devolo.

c) Replaced parts become property of devolo.

d) devolo is authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g.

devolo Vianect AIR TV

Appendix 35

3Warranty procedure

a) If defects appear during the warranty period, the warranty

claims must be made immediately, at the latest within a period

of 7 days.

b) In the case of any externally visible damage arising from trans-

port (e.g. damage to the housing), the person carrying out the

transportation and the sender should be informed immedi-

ately. On discovery of damage which is not externally visible,

the transport company and the sender are to be immediately

informed in writing, at the latest within 3 days of delivery.

c) Transport to and from the location where the warranty claim is

accepted and/or the repaired device is exchanged, is at the

purchaser's own risk and cost.

chase receipt is returned with the device. devolo reserves the

right to require the submission of the original purchase receipt.

device,

b) if the device is damaged or destroyed as a result of acts of

nature or by environmental influences (moisture, electric

shock, dust, etc.),

c) if the device was stored or operated under conditions not in

compliance with the technical specifications,

d) if the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially to

non-observance of the system description and the operating

instructions,

e) if the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not

contracted by devolo,

f) if the device shows any kind of mechanical damage, or

g) if the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with

6 Additional regulations

The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo's legal liability.

a) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as

any refund in full or in part. Compensation claims, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g. injury to persons or damage to private property are specifically covered by the product liability law, or in cases of intentional act or culpable negligence.

tial detriments, are excluded.

e) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not

transferable.

f) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the

case that the purchaser is a merchant.
