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

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your VS-44HN 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.
