the association code previously obtained to pair the Eagleyes cloud with the device

Once the device is paired, a list of paired devices will show in the top right corner under ‘Matrix’. This
button can be clicked to switch control between devices

EDID Learning

If a HDMI output display is not playing audio and video correctly, the EDID learning function is required.
As HDMI source devices and displays can have different levels of capability when playing audio or video,
the general principle is that the source device will output in the lowest resolutions of audio and video to
be accepted amongst all HDMI displays. If this situation occurs, an output of 720p with stereo audio
HDMI signal would most likely be the safest choice, however if required, the user can tell the matrix to
learn the EDID of the HDMI display with the lowest possible resolution output to ensure that all displays
play the HDMI signal successfully.

To use EDID Learning, please follow one of these methods:

 IR Remote Control: Please follow the same method as discussed in Operation-Remote Control

Switching

 Software Control: Please follow the same method as discussed in Operation-RS-232 Software

Recycling Information

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment),
Recycling of Electronic Products

Europe, United Kingdom

In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all waste electrical
and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment.
Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly different
ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More
details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.

Battery Remark:

Do not put empty batteries in your domestic waste bin as they will not be recycled. Empty batteries can be returned
for recycling at our trade counter or at your local household recycling centre.
The raw materials enclosed in batteries such as Zinc, Iron and Nickel can be reused to a very large proportion. The
recycling of batteries and disused/obsolete electronic equipment is one of the most efficient environment protection
actions you can easily take.

Germany / Deutschland Rücknahme Elektroschrott und Batterie-Entsorgung

Die Europäische Union hat mit der WEEE Direktive Regelungen für die Verschrottung und das Recycling von
Elektro- und Elektronikprodukten geschaffen. Diese wurden im Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz – ElektroG in
deutsches Recht umgesetzt. Das Entsorgen von Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten über die Hausmülltonne ist
verboten! Diese Geräte müssen den Sammel- und Rückgabesystemen zugeführt werden! Dort werden sie
kostenlos entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den weiteren Recyclingprozess übernehmen die Gerätehersteller.
LINDY bietet deutschen Endverbrauchern ein kostenloses Rücknahmesystem an, beachten Sie bitte, dass
Batterien und Akkus den Produkten vor der Rückgabe an das Rücknahmesystem entnommen werden müssen und
über die Sammel- und Rückgabesysteme für Batterien separat entsorgt werden müssen. Ausführliche
Informationen zu diesen Themen finden Sie stets aktuell auf der LINDY Webseite im Fußbereich.

France

En 2006, l'union Européenne a introduit la nouvelle réglementation (DEEE) pour le recyclage de tout équipement
électrique et électronique.

Chaque Etat membre de l’ Union Européenne a mis en application la nouvelle réglementation DEEE de manières

légèrement différentes. Veuillez suivre le décret d’application correspondant à l’élimination des déchets électriques

ou électroniques de votre pays.

Remarque sur les piles et batteries

En tant que consommateur final, vous êtes tenus de restituer toutes les piles et batteries usagées. Il est clairement
interdit de les jeter avec les ordures ménagères ! Les piles et batteries contenant des substances nocives sont
marquées par le symbole ci-dessus. Vous pouvez déposer gratuitement vos piles ou batteries usagées dans les
centres de collecte de votre commune, dans nos succursales ou dans tous les points de vente de piles ou
batteries. Vous respecterez ainsi la loi et contribuerez à la protection de l'environnement !

Italy

Nel 2006 l’unione europea ha introdotto regolamentazioni (WEEE) per la raccolta e il riciclo di apparecchi elettrici

ed elettronici. Non è più consentito semplicemente gettare queste apparecchiature, devono essere riciclate. Ogni

stato membro dell’ EU ha tramutato le direttive W EEE in leggi statali in varie misure. Fare riferimento alle leggi del

proprio Stato quando si dispone di un apparecchio elettrico o elettronico.
Per ulteriori dettagli fare riferimento alla direttiva WEEE sul riciclaggio del proprio Stato.
