Installation
Before starting the installation, please ensure that all devices are powered off.
- Connect an HDMI source to the Fibre Optic Transmitter device using an HDMI cable (maximum length 5m).
- Remove the dust covers from the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver ports and the Fibre Cable.
- Connect one end of the duplex fiber cable to the optical port on the Transmitter and the other end to the optical port of the Receiver. This must be set up as 1:1 connection and NOT as a cross-over connection as provided by some Duplex Cables with pre-installed clamps on the Duplex connector. If you have such a cross-over cable please exchange the connectors with each other on one end. Please ensure that the connectors are fully engaged before proceeding.
- Use another HDMI cable (maximum length 5m) to connect an HDMI display to the HDMI port on the Receiver.
- Plug the DC power supplies into the HDMI transmitter and receiver, respectively.
- Power on the HDMI Source and Display to complete the installation.
As well as extending an HDMI signal the extender can also repeat IR remote commands/signals, with the use of the optional IR Repeater Kit, allowing you to control your HDMI source whilst up to 3000m away. Connect the IR Repeater Transmitter and Receiver to the relevant ports on the Fibre Optic Transmitter and Receiver. Please visit your local Lindy website for more information.
Troubleshooting
There is no display on the screen.
Please note: If both the signal source and display support a higher color
space which requires more than 10.2Gbps bandwidth, i.e. YCbCr 4:4:4 8 bit @ 60
Hz, you will receive a blank screen as the HDMI source will automatically
(due to EDID communication) send the higher color space which exceeds the
bandwidth available of the extender.
In this case, you must force the HDMI source to send a lower color space
before you will receive a picture.
- Check that the DC plugs and jacks used by external power supplies (both the extender units and others) are firmly connected.
- Check that the Fibre Connectors are plugged incorrectly and that the Link Status LED is lit. If it is not lit check if your cable uses a cross-over configuration and change it to 1:1.
- Check that the HDMI source and display are both powered on and active.
- Power off all the devices, then power on in this order: first, the transmitter and receiver modules, then the display, and finally the source.
- Make sure you have not mixed up the Duplex fibers with each other at one end.
- Reduce the length of HDMI cable used.
If you cannot solve the problems please contact LINDY technical support.

Recycling Information
WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), Recycling of Electronic Products
Europe, United Kingdom
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection
and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no
longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment.
Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into
national law in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when
you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More details can
be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.
Battery Remark:
Do not put empty batteries in your domestic waste bin as they will not be
recycled. Empty batteries can be returned for recycling at our trade counter
or at your local household recycling center.
The raw materials enclosed in batteries such as Zinc, Iron, and Nickel can be
reused to a very large proportion. The recycling of batteries and
disused/obsolete electronic equipment is one of the most efficient
environmental protection actions you can easily take.
Tested to comply with FCC Standards
