Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
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 (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 VP-424 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
