3.1 Recommendations for Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer
high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight
coils
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
MV-6 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected
to other equipment that is installed inside a building
3.2 Safety Instructions
Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning: Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit
Warning: Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical
shock! Servicing by qualified personnel only
Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing
3.3 Recycling Kramer Products

3.4 Accessory to Medical Equipment (IEC 60601-1)
In the modern medical environment remote access is essential, for example,
to transfer clinical data between doctors and to train to medical students.
The MV-6 is certified according to the IEC 60601-1-2, Clause 2.1.3,
Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Emc
standard which is required when accessory devices are used at locations
where medical personnel and patients are present.
The MV-6 constitutes an optional component that can be considered
necessary and suitable as part of medical equipment or for use as part of a
medical system to provide real time simultaneous video feeds to those
present at the local medical environment and at remote locations. In this
environment, the MV-6 can be added to the system ONLY if the connecting
equipment has been evaluated and meets the IEC 60601-1-2 Emc standards.
Note, that when attaching accessory devices to a digital or analog interface,
they must comply with the IEC standard for which they are used: for
medical equipment (IEC 60601-1-2), data processing equipment (IEC
60950) and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 61000-1).
