Solid blue • The signal integrity between the Sender and Receiver unit is good.
Off • The units are in sleep mode.• The Sender unit is not powered.• The Receiver unit is not powered.
Flashing slowly	• Either the associated (paired) Sender or Receiver unit is not powered on or the units are not paired.
Flashing quickly	• The units are paired together but either the Sender unit is not connected to a source or the Receiver unit is not connected to a display or other sink device.

Using Multiple Units

Placement

Up to 5 Sender-Receiver pairs can be used within a room. When using two or more Sender-Receiver pairs in a room, the following requirements must be met.

• Each Sender and Receiver unit must be at least 2 meters apart.

• Each pair of Sender and Receiver units should face one another.

• To minimize the possibility of crosstalk, additional Sender-Receiver pairs should be set perpendicular to one another. See Figure 2.1.

Using Multiple Units

- If the Sender-Receiver pair is not facing one another, then it is important that walls are present in the operating environment. The walls will act as a waveguide and allow the radio waves to be communicated between the Sender and Receiver unit. See figure 2.2, below.

Figure 2.2 - Walls guide the radio waves between the Sender and Receiver unit.

Pairing

When the Sender and Receiver units are purchased together, pairing is not required. However, if either a Sender or Receiver unit is purchased separately, then the units will require pairing.

Pairing a Sender and Receiver unit

IMPORTANT: If more than one Sender-Receiver pair is being used in the room, make sure to power-down all other Sender-Receiver pairs before continuing with the pairing process. If this is not possible, the pairing process must be performed in a separate room.

1. Disconnect the HDMI cable and power cable from the unit that is being replaced.
2. Connect the new Sender or Receiver unit to the HDMI cable and power supply.
3. Power-on the new unit by pressing the Power button on the back panel.
4. The Power LED will begin to flash.
5. Press and release the Pair button on either the Sender or Receiver unit. After a few moments, the Sender-Receiver pair will resume communication.
6. If for some reason the Sender and Receiver unit do not pair with one another, repeat step 5.

Pairing multiple Sender units to a Receiver unit

It is possible to use two Sender units with a single Receiver unit, allowing switching between two Hi-Def sources. Each Sender unit must first be individually paired with the Receiver unit. Prior to performing this task, confirm that other Sender units, within the same room, are powered-off to avoid any potential conflicts.

Once both Sender units are paired to a single Receiver, push the Pair button on the Receiver unit to switch between each Sender unit.

Performing a Factory-Reset

In order to perform a factory-reset of the Wireless Extender for HDMI 60 GHz, press and hold the Pair button on the Sender unit for 10 seconds. Repeat the process for the Receiver unit. The order in which the Sender and Receiver are reset does not matter.
