KW-11T/KW-11R - Getting Started
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp
to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if
firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the 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)
Always mount the KW-11R vertically using the supplied stand
Do not place objects next to the KW-11T transmitter or KW-11R receiver
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
Position your Kramer KW-11T and KW-11R 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

2.2 Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by
requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,
Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced
Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and
recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN
facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country
go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.
2.3 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. Both the
KW-11T and KW-11R are 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 KW-11T and KW-11R constitute 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 KW-11T and KW-11R 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
EMC Standard (IEC 60601-1-2), Information Technology equipment (IEC 60950-1
(2ed)).
