Step 3: Configure RC-206
To configure RC-206 buttons via K-Config:
•Configure RC-206 (go to www.kramerav.com/product/K-Config).
•Connect RC-206 to a PC via the Ethernet or connect via the mini USB port.
•Sync the configuration to RC-206.
To insert a button label for the first time:
1. Cut out the appropriate button label from the button
label sheets and place a label inside the button cover
in the correct orientation (ledges are sideways).
2. Cover with the button cap in the correct orientation
(with ledges sideways).
To replace a label:
1. Using the supplied tweezers, grip the button via the
left and right ledges and remove the button cap.
2. Replace the label and cover the button with the
button cap.
You do not have to detach the faceplate to remove a button.

Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your RC-206. For best results, we recommend that you always
use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to RC-206.
Step 5: Install RC-206
After connecting the ports, insert the device into the in-wall box and connect the parts as shown in the illustrations below:
US-D Version
EU/UK Version
We recommend that you use any of the following standard 1 Gang in-wall junction boxes:
•US-D: 1 Gang US electrical junction boxes.
•EU: 1 Gang in-wall junction box, with a cut-hole diameter of 86mm and depth that can fit in both the device and the connected
cables (DIN 49073).
•UK: 1 Gang in-wall junction box, 75x75mm (W, H) and depth that can fit in both the device and the connected cables
(BS 4662 or BS EN 60670-1 used with supplied spacers and screws).

Step 6: Connect the power
Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the RC-206 and plug the adapter into the mains.
