•Includes DIP-switches that let you adjust the horizontal position, the
vertical position, and/or the sharpness of the image
•Is 12V DC fed
Achieving the best performance means:
•Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
•Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and positioning
your FC-31xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit
