Review the contents of this user manual.
www.kramerav.com/downloads/861 to check for up-to-date user manuals, application

Achieving the Best Performance

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence
signal quality.
Position your Kramer 861 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Overview

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer 861 4K HDMI Generator, Analyzer and Cable
Tester.
The 861 HDMI 18Gbps (6Gbps per graphic channel) 4K HDR Pocket Signal Generator, Analyzer and Cable Tester is an advanced handy tool for generating, testing and verifying the signal path within your (up to) 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 ecosystem. The 861 is a 3-in-1 tool that is great for:
Analyzing an HDMI stream by capturing the data transmitted by an HDMI source.
Testing a display device by transmitting a customizable audio and video HDMI stream to
the display.
Testing an HDMI cable.

Charging the Battery

To charge the battery, connect a USB charger (5V/2.1A minimum) to the USB port to charge the unit’s battery until it is full. Before using with a battery for the first time, it is recommended to charge it for at least 5 hours (with the unit powered down).
B hubs do not provide proper 5V power to connected devices. When using a USB

Replacing the Battery

To replace Lithium-ion rechargeable battery:
1. Using a small flathead screwdriver, gently, but firmly, press down into the slot behind the base panel. The bottom cover pops out.
2. If a battery is already installed, pull on the tab to pop the battery out of its holding brackets.
3. Turn the unit so that it is face down and align the new battery so that the positive terminal of the battery (marked with a +) is aligned with the positive (+) marking in the battery compartment. Slide the battery into the unit until it snaps into the holding bracket.
4. After the battery has been properly inserted, place the battery compartment cover back into the bottom of the unit by first fitting the 2 small tabs on the cover into the 2 slots in the case and then gently snapping the cover into place.

pattern of single-pixel vertical lines. This pattern can be used to analyze the horizontal pixel resolution of your display. If the output appears to have mosaic patterns, or appears to be a solid field (grey, white or black), then it is possible that your display does not fully support the resolution you are currently sending to it
