3b. Connect the Transmitter to Analog Stereo Audio source with a 3.5mm stereo cable.

3c. Connect one (1) lengths of Cat 5e/6 (or higher) grade UTP cables to

RJ45 LINK connectors on the Transmitter.

4. To install the Receiver:

4a. Connect the Receiver to the DVI display equipment with a DVI compliant cable.
4b. Connect the Receiver to the Analog Stereo Audio equipment with a 3.5mm stereo

cable.

4c. Connect the one (1) Cat 5e/6 cables to RJ45 LINK connectors on the Receiver.

5. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the Receiver first, and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the
Transmitter first, and then plug the power supply into an AC power outlet. If power
is present, the green power LED of the Transmitter and the Receiver will be ON.
