The Gefen TV Wireless for HDMI
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender delivers a plug-and-play
wireless solution for HDMI sources placed up to 30 feet (9 meters) away. Hi-def
resolutions of up to 1080p/60 fps are supported with 8-channel embedded digital
audio.
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender is a wireless solution for
extending any HDMI A/V sources to a remote HDMI-compliant display such as
satellite boxes, DVD players, and Blu-Ray players. The Wireless for HDMI 60
GHz operates best in open indoor spaces with minimum obstructions between
the Sender and Receiver units. Range will be significantly reduced otherwise.
How It Works
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender uses one sender and one
Receiver unit. A short cable connects the HDMI input of the sender unit to the
HDMI output of an HDMI source. At the display side, a short cable connects the
HDMI output of the Receiver unit to the HDMI input of the HDTV display. Power
is applied to the Sender and Receiver. There is a slight pause while the Sender
and Receiver locate each other and begin communicating. The HDMI signal
from the HDMI source then travels to the HDMI display over 60 GHz radio waves
and a vibrant and crisp High Definition picture emerges on the HDTV display.
Indicator lights on the front panels of both units assist in troubleshooting should
there be objects in the path of the radio waves or other problems to resolve.
Note on Multichannel Audio: Compressed audio as well as analog audio are
formats supported depending on the capability of the input device. Please refer to
the Specifications section for further details.

3. Sender and Receiver should be oriented in a visually unobstructed, line-of-
sight path without objects between them, at the same height as each other,
preferably in a wide open indoor area with tall ceilings.
4. Connect the included 5V power supplies to the Wireless HD 60 GHz Sender
and Receiver units. Power on the display device (monitor or projector).
5. Switch on the Receiver and Sender units. Automatic pairing (linkup) will
begin. The units will search for each other, and four (4) LED indicators on the
front right hand panel of the units will indicate operational status as follows
(Please see diagram on the bottom of page 6, opposite):
LINK: OFF (connection failed, try again), ON (connection good),
BLINKING (waiting for link completion)
WEAK: OFF (no signal), ON (wireless signal is weak)
STRONG: OFF (weak signal), ON (wireless signal is strong)
POWER: OFF (power off), ON (unit ON), BLINKING (unit sleeping)
*If 4 LEDs blink at once despite multiple power ON/OFF attempts, do not
continue operation. Please call Gefen Technical Support at 1-800-545-6900.
If a pairing operation does not commence and/or the WEAK LED stays

REMOTE CONTROL
The included remote control has two
buttons on it, one labelled “HDMI” and one
labelled “SLEEP”. Only the SLEEP button
functions on the Wireless for HDMI 60
GHz. Its purpose is to put the Wireless for
HDMI 60 GHz system into standby mode
so that it can be kept ready for use at
any time without consuming a significant
amount of electrical power.
To use the SLEEP function, aim the
remote at either the Sender or Receiver
and press the “SLEEP” button on the
remote to place the units into a standby
mode. During this time the Power LEDs
on both units will flash to confirm that
SLEEP mode is active. To re-activate the
Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz system, press
the SLEEP button again.
The remote control runs off of a single
CR2032 battery (included). To change
the battery, push in the retaining clip
inward from the side rear of the remote
while simultaneously pulling the battery
containment sleeve out of the rear of the
remote. Note the positive orientation of
the battery facing upwards. Replace with
an identical type of battery in the same
orientation.
When operating the remote control for the
first time, please remove the protective
acetate plastic sheet inserted between
the circuit board and the battery. This
insert keeps the battery from prematurely
discharging in transit.
