2. If Sender has not connected with local monitor yet, the yellow LED will keep lit to wait local monitor connection.

3. After few seconds DDC duplication will finish, then yellow LED will be off.

4. If the duplication is successful, the yellow LED will blink one time. If failed, yellow LED will blink several times,

please refer to above “Yellow LED status indication”

5. Please unplug the local monitor after finishing the DDC duplication, and move dip switch 2 at “down”, 1 at “up”,

then start to use DDC data which have beenduplicated.

Installation Tips:

1. Due to the inside of CAT5 cable containing pairs of wires twisted at different rates, and the different quality on the cable itself and installation, different signal arrival time may occur at eachpair. If there is a big difference at arrival time, that will cause RGB skew status.This is seen onthe monitor as separation, or lack of convergence in colors. Normally it happens on long CAT 5 cable runs.

2. Recommend to use following cabling design to reduce skew status, and to add special made “skew immunized adaptor” (2 pieces included at the package).
