SAFETY OPERATION GUIDE
In order to guarantee the reliable operation of the equipment and safety of the
user, please abide by the following procedures in installation, use and
maintenance:
1. The system must be earthed properly. Please do not use two blade plugs
and ensure the AC power supply ranges from 100v to 240v and from 50Hz
to 60Hz.
2. Do not install the switcher in an environment where it will be exposed to
extreme hot or cold temperatures.
3. This unit will generate heat during operation, please ensure that you allow
adequate ventilation to ensure reliable operation.
4. Please disconnect the unit from mains power if it will be left unused for a
long time.
5. Please DO NOT try to open the casing of the equipment, DO NOT attempt to
repair the unit. Opening the unit will void the warranty. There are high
voltage components in the unit and attempting to repair the unit could result
in serious injury.

Users can control the AVG-DMM1616 simply and directly with its front panel buttons.
To switch AV/ and A/ V signal, please operate the buttons using the following format:
Format: “Input Channel” + “AV” +“Output Channel “+“Enter”
Note:
1) “Switch Mode”: Audio & Video synchronous (AV) or break away switching mode
(Audio/ Video)
2) “Input Channel”: Push the number of the input channel to be controlled,
3) “Output Channel”: Push the number of the output channels to be controlled. Press
“All” to select all the outputs.
4) Use “,” button to separate multiple I/O channels, and press the “ENTER” button to
confirm the operation.
5) The input/output channels on the rear panel are slotted from left to right, top to
bottom.
6) The input delay time between two numbers of every input & output channel must
be less than 5 seconds; otherwise the operation will be cancelled.
Example:
1. To transfer input 1 to output 11, press input “1”, output “0” “1” and “Enter”.
2. To transfer signals from input 1 to all output channels, press buttons in this order:
