Installation 

This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for 
the Converter. 

 

Selecting a Site for the Equipment 

As with any electric device, you should place the equipment 
where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, 
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the 
site you select should meet the following requirements: 
 

 

The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees 
Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius). 

 

The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing. 

 

Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field 
(RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength. 

 

Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block 
the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment. 

 

The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product. 

 

Connecting to Power 

This Converter is a plug-and-play device. 
 

Connect the USB powering cable to the USB bus power connector 
on the rear panel of the converter. 

<NOTE>  Don’t connect two media converters to the USB ports of the PC or 

notebook computers through the USB power cables at the same time. 

 
And/ or Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the 
receptacle on the rear panel of the converter, and then attach the 
plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 
240VAC.
