ATTENTION ! Only when the bar is grey, the update is fi nished.
To view the fi rmware version
Make sure the main menu is open. The currently installed fi rmware version of the remote and local units are
displayed (e.g. ‘4267’) and check that you have the same fi rmware on both units.

Tipps from our engineers for engineers
• reduce the setting of your system and set up only one local and one remote at the same place
• connect the monitor directly to the PC - does the monitor display an image ? (follow the mentioned steps
from above)
• LED status is red or blinking - this can be a cable problem - try to get a short patchcable and to connect
the units and be sure that it´s not a cross - over cable
• USB problems with mouse and keyboard - please try a different type of mouse and keyboard
Further expert tipps for issues
• Adapter - our units are transmitting DVI signals. If you are using adapters try a PC with DVI signal
• PC - please try another machine
• If you have more sets please make a cross check and change of the units
