Button Labels

Figure A-1 provides blank button labels. If desired, photocopy them or cut them
out of the manual, write button information in each button area as desired, and put
them in the switcher’s input or output buttons’ windows.

Installing labels in the matrix switcher’s buttons

Use the following procedure to install new labels in the matrix switcher’s front
panel buttons.

Make new labels using either the blanks on page A-7 or
the Button-Label Generator software (see chapter 5,
Matrix Software). Cut them out.

Remove the button from the switcher by grasping the
button firmly and pulling it away from the front
panel.

There are different button models available. Your
buttons may appear different.

Use an Extron Tweeker to gently lever the button
cap off of the white backing plate.

Insert a button label into the cap and gently but
firmly press the cap onto the white backing plate.

Press the button into place in the matrix switcher.
