place/ mount the

display appropriately.

the connection. Please ensure that either the Transmitter or

the Receiver Unit is situated near an available AC electrical

outlet. Make sure all devices are turned o before beginning

installation.

(i.e. computer, Blu-ray Player) to the “HDMI® IN”on the

Transmitter Unit.

3. (Optional) If you’ve chosen to power the kit from the

Transmitter side, connect the provided power supply.

Note: If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have

enough Category 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network

cabling to connect the Host Unit to the Remote Unit’s loca-

tion, and that each end is terminated with a RJ45 connector.

The cabling should not go through any networking equip-

ment (i.e. router, switch).

If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling between the

Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been properly terminated

in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable

long enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit

to their respective outlets. The cabling should not go through

any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).

6. Connect the other end of the Cat5e/6 cable (from LINK OUT

A) to the LINK IN A (RJ-45 connector) on the Receiver Unit.
