3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then
tighten the screw to secure the bracket (
c ).
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield
to which it fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing
bracket (
d ).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar
tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (
e ).
RS-232 connections
The Remote RS-232 port on the receiver only is for remote control of the receiver. The
RS-232 Over Fiber port on both units is for transmission of serial signals, such as projector
control signals, between the transmitter and receiver (see figure 7 to properly wire the
connectors).
Do not tin the wires!

NOTE: The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
• Longer bare wires can short together.
• Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
