Important Safeguards:

Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio factory technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Do not connect Ethernet or Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may result.

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not w ork well for professional installations and can be the cause o f intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connec tors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
