NOTE
The power adapter should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling. Make sure the
power source circuits are properly grounded. Use the supplied power cord in order to connect it to the power source. If your
installation requires a different power cord, be sure to use an offi cially approved power cord displaying the mark of the
safety agency that defi nes the regulations for power cords in your country. Please consider that the AC outlet for the power
adapter is placed within reach of the monitor system and should be easily accessible in case it needs to be powered off.
Do install the product in a dry environment where the operating ambient temperature might not exceed 40°C / 104°F.
Also don´t position the power adapter on top or on the back of the monitor system in order to prevent thermal
overload.
Ensure that your installation complies with your national safety rules. Any servicing, adjustment,
maintenance or repair must be performed only by service-trained personnel.
Ensure that the power adapter is installed in a serviceable location, to access it easily in case of a defect. If you choose
to place the power adapter in a separate space, take care that the ventilation is present, because the power adapters
need convection cooling for stable working conditions.
When placing the power adapter in a fully enclosed space, make sure the air fl ow around the sides and top of the power
adapter is not restricted. According to a common rule of thumb the minimum dimensions for a niche for the power
adapter may be defi ned as follows: please calculate the length of the power adapter plus an additional gap of at least
100mm all around for DC 12V power adapters and 200mm all around for DC 24V power adapters.

GETTING STARTED - HOW TO CONNECT
External video and audio sources
The DFU features one Component (5) and three HDMI (3) inputs. We recommend using the HDMI inputs for best
video and sound quality. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI output terminal of your STB, VCR, DVD player, BluRay
player or the like and one of the three HDMI (3) inputs of the DFU. If your external AV source does not feature an
HDMI output, connect a YPbPR Component cable (Y - luminance, Pb - blue, PR - red) to the Component output of
your media source and the Component (5) input of the DFU for enhanced video quality. Observe to match the colors
of the plugs and sockets. For setup with Component additionally connect the audio output of the media source and
the Line audio (6) input of the DFU with an according audio cable.
Passive loudspeakers
Two 8Ohm loudspeakers can be connected to the speaker output (7) socket with loudspeaker cables. Observe the
polarity (+ and -) of the connections to avoid phase errors (= incorrect stereo playback).
External USB media source
Connect an external USB media source to the USB (2) socket to display photos, play music and movies or to install
a software update. In order to have access to the USB port after installation we recommend installing a USB
extension cable.
Home automation system
With the RS-232 (4) interface (9pin d-subminiature) you can connect a serial cable for communication with a home
automation system or the like. The baud rate is adjustable from 9600 up to 38400, the default value is 38400.
RS-232 access: see section Service Settings.
External IR transmitter and receiver
With the IR input (8) interface you can connect an external IR receiver to the Display Frame UnitTM. When you connect
an external IR reveicer, the internal IR receiver is deactivated automatically. With the IR output terminals, (9) for
cable or (10) for LED, you can loop through the IR signal from the remote control to an external device with a
corresponding IR input (for cable) or via an IR emitter diode affi xed in front of the IR receiver eye (for LED).
