How to use

Connect the transmitter unit to the host computer using the supplied USB Type-A to Type-B cable.

Attach the receiver’s power adapter and secure any required mounting hardware. The devices are recognized by the host automatically; no driver installation is required for standard operating systems.

Recommendations

For best results use high-quality Cat 5 or better Ethernet cables and avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage lines. If multiple high-power USB devices are connected, ensure the receiver’s power adapter is properly rated for the combined load.
