Instruction Manual - Display Control and EDID Manager

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)  damage to  sensitive components, make sure  you are  properly grounded before 

touching any internal materials.  

When working with any equipment manufactured  with electronic devices, proper  ESD grounding procedures  must  be 

followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive 

smocks, and conductive work mats  are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not  be manufactured 

locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, with-

out increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.  

Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at 

least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.  

WARNING

Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages  in this equipment 

are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to 

qualified service personnel.  

Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make sure that you 

can easily access the power breaker switch.  

ESD WARNING

   

WARNING

This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the voltages listed on the back panel or the rec-

ommended, or included, power supply of the product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated 

may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the products warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is 

cautioned because it can allow the product to  be plugged into  voltages in  which the product was not designed 

to operate. If the product is equipped with  a detachable power cord, use only the type provided with your 

product or by your local distributor and/or retailer. If you are unsure of the correct operational voltage, please 

contact your local distributor and/or retailer. 

 

WARNING

Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. 

FCC AND CANADA EMC COMPLIANCE INFORMATION:

 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant 

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If 

this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 

following measures:

• 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• 

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• 

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• 

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

 

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s 

authority to operate the equipment.
