Keep the devices in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Avoid exposing the units to moisture or liquids.
Clean the units with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Ensure all cables are securely connected and not bent or kinked, which can damage the cables or ports.
Periodically check for firmware updates (if available from the manufacturer) to ensure compatibility and performance improvements.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HDMI Extender Splitter, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

No Image on Display:
- Ensure all power connections are secure and the power indicator on the transmitter is lit.
- Verify that the HDMI source device is powered on and outputting a signal.
- Check that all HDMI and Ethernet cables are correctly and securely connected.
- Confirm that your display is set to the correct HDMI input source.
- Try performing the EDID Copy function as described in Section 4.
- Ensure the HDMI source provides a strong signal. Some sources may require a booster if the signal is weak.
Flickering or Intermittent Signal:
- Check the quality and length of your Ethernet cables. High-quality Cat 6/7 cables are recommended for stable, long-distance transmission.
- If using Ethernet cables between 1-10 feet, try a longer cable as very short cables can sometimes cause issues.
- Ensure there are no kinks or damage to the Ethernet or HDMI cables.
No Audio:
- Verify that your display's audio settings are correctly configured.
- Check the audio output settings on your HDMI source device.
Remote Displays Not Working:
- Ensure the STA indicator on the receiver units is green, indicating a successful Ethernet connection.
- Confirm the Ethernet cable length is within the specified limits (50m/164ft for Cat6/7, 45m/147ft for Cat5e, 40m/131ft for Cat5).
