TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: I have connected all the cables correctly and powered on
the extender, however the monitor doesn’t display any video
image. How can I solve this problem?
A: If you encounter no video display, please adjust the
Receiver Unit’s EQ (Equalizer) rotating switch until a video
image is displayed.
Notes:
1. Use good quality CATx UTP cable (max. 50mtr). Note that
good quality cable will give better video outcome over a
longer distance.
2. The choice of path of the CATx UTP cable should not only
take into account the shortest possible path, but also one
that is relatively far away from any significant
electromagnetic interference source.
