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)

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VSM-4x4HFS 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.
