2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely
inuence signal quality
Position your PIP-4 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may
only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside
a building.
2.2 Safety Instructions
