Replacing Cord Cover
1. Run power and signal cords through separate cable channels to prevent unwanted interference.
Route the power cord through the right most cable channel. (see image 1 below).
2. Replace the cord cover ensuring the cords are running through the cable channels and not
getting pinched. Loosely install six M5 hex cap screws, then tighten using 3mm allen wrench
until the cover gasket is fully compressed to the cord gasket.
3. Replace the rear cover plate ensuring the cords are running through the cable channels and not
getting pinched. Fasten the two hex screws on the rear cover plate using
3mm allen wrench to secure. Ensure the rear cover plate is fully compressed
to the back of the display.
• Ensure cord bend radius does not exceed limits set by the
manufacturer.
• Ensure cords are seated properly in the cable channels to avoid
potential damage to cords when rear cover plate is installed.
• Do not remove lanyard that connects the rear cover plate to the display.
• Ensure cables exiting input compartment are routed downward when
installing display in portrait orientation. If the installation requires the
cabling to be routed upward, ensure that the cables are routed with a
drip loop.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten
screws.

Remote Control Battery Installation and Replacement
1. To remove the battery module of the remote
control, remove the two screws on the end
of the battery module. Slide the battery
module out of the remote control.
2. Insert two new “AAA” size batteries into
the battery module. Ensure the positive
and negative marks on the batteries are
correctly oriented with the markings on
the inside of the remote control's battery
compartment.
3. Slide the battery module back into the
remote control and reinsert the two screws
in the end of the battery module to maintain
a waterproof seal (do not overtighten).
The remote control is powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries installed at the factory.
If the Red LED light on the remote fails to illuminate when a button is pressed, the batteries may need
to be replaced. Follow the directions below to replace the batteries.
CAUTION
Incorrect usage of batteries can result in leaks
or bursting. Peerless-AV recommends the
following battery use:
• Do not mix battery brands.
• Do not combine new and old batteries. This
can shorten the battery life or cause battery
acid leaks.
• Remove dead batteries immediately to
prevent battery acid from leaking into the
battery compartment.
• Do not touch exposed battery acid as it
may injure skin.
• Remove the batteries if you do not intend
to use the remote control for a long period
of time.
• Do not expose the batteries to excessive
