1. Important Safety Instructions
Warning: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or
moisture. Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied
service personnel.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
un-insulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equivalent triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
1. Read and follow all instructions and warnings in this manual. Keep for future reference.
2. Do not use this apparatus near water.
3. Clean only with a dry cloth.
4. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install according to manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including ampliers) that produce heat.
6. Do not override the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug

7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plug, convenience
receptacles, and the point where it exits from the apparatus.
8. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
9. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
10. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND ENSURE
THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, ARE PLACED ON THE
EQUIPMENT.
11. TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE.
12. THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.
CAUTION
CAUTION: TOREDUCE THE RIS K OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
DONOT REMOVE COVER. NO US ER

1. Connect the VGA source device to the transmitting unit of the B-220-1CAT-VGA-A. If
connecting to a component video source, use a VGA-component breakout cable and link it
between the video source and the transmitting unit of the B-220-1CAT-VGA-A.
2. If using stereo or S/PDIF audio, ensure that the toggle button is set correctly. Connect the
stereo or S/PDIF audio cable to the input of the transmitter.
3. Connect the VGA display to the receiving unit of the B-220-1CAT-VGA-A. If connecting to
a component video display, use a VGA-component breakout cable and link it between the
video display and the receiving unit of the B-220-1CAT-VGA-A.
4. If audio is transmitted, connect an audio cable from the stereo or S/PDIF audio outputs of the
receiving unit to the audio receiver or display.
5. Connect a Cat-5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving units, make sure it is
properly connected and terminated to TIA-568B.
6. Plug in a 5V DC power supply unit to the power jack of the receiving unit of the B-220-1CAT-VGA-A.
Plug in the other 5V DC power supply into the transmitting unit.
7. If the monitor is displaying blurred video or not displaying at all, adjust the EQ and Gain
rotary controls to improve the picture. Use the GAIN rotary control to adjust the gain to an
appropriate level for a range of input signal levels (brightness), and the EQ rotary control to
equalize the wave form of the receiving video signal (sharpness). Begin with adjusting the
EQ to get the input video displayed rst, and then adjust the GAIN according to the video you
see on the screen.
8. RGB delay control [De-skew] offers the exible functionality to allow skew compensation in
arrival time among the red, green, and blue color channels of the VGA signal due to long
distance transmission or via low quality cable. Dial the rotary arrow to choose the RED,
GREEN, or BLUE color channel, then use the push-in buttons to increase or decrease the
delay correction for the selected channel. There are 31 steps in total. Each step represents a
2-nanosecond time difference for adjusting the delay between each color individually. Adjust
RGB selector back and forth until the optimal visual quality is reached.
