Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis.

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

- Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment.

- Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/K-Cam4K to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving 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 neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality.

- Position your Kramer K-Cam4K away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Safety Instructions

Caution:

- This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

- For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

- There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning:

- Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

- To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating specified on the product label which is located on the bottom of the unit.

Recycling Kramer Products

To mount K-Cam4K on a wall:

1. find the correct location on the wall.
2. in the desired location, drill 4 holes 82mm and 60mm apart (using a 6mm drill-bit) to fit the 4 holes of the wall-mounting bracket.
3. Insert the four expansion plugs into the holes.

1. Attach the wall bracket to the wall, using the four wall-bracket screws. You can place the bracket upside-down to mount the camera the other way around.

2. Attach the device to the wall bracket by fitting the mortise (on the bracket) into the tenon (on the camera).

3. Fix the camera by screwing (A) Nickel screw to the center and (B) then tighten with 3 black screws.

K-Cam4K is mounted on the wall.
