2 RC-54DL - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

• Review the contents of this user manual

• Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user
manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are
available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection 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 RC-54DL away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

Caution: No operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall
adapter that is provided with the unit

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing

K-NET™ is a proprietary Kramer protocol for interconnecting Kramer
units
