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.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/RK-3T-B to check for up-to-date user manuals,
application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
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 devices away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.
Safety Instructions
Observe the following safety instructions with regard to installing devices:
Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.
Warning: Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.
Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by
qualified personnel only.
Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.
