EC REGULATIONS AND SECURITY ATTENTION: Do not disassemble or modify the device in any way. This symbol warns of the presence of dangerous un-insulated voltages inside some of the components, of sufficient magnitude to expose people to risk of electronic shock. This symbol draws attention to important use and maintenance instructions in the manual that accompanies the unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Wiring connected to hazardous voltage requires installation by qualified personnel or the use of ready-made flexible cables. For your security, your equipment must be connected to an electrical outlet with grounding connection protection. Since the plug is used to disconnect the device, the operating electrical outlet must be in an easily accessible place.

INPUT CONNECTORS DynamicShare connectors HDMI LOOP OUT: Connect a HDMI cable to the next HDMI LOOP IN monitor in order to create a daisy chain loop installation. HDMI LOOP IN: Connect a HDMI cable from the previous HDMI LOOP OUT monitor, in order to create a daisy chain loop installation.
DYNAMICSHARE DynamicShare is equivalent to multiple HDMI selectors connected to multiple cascade HDMI distribution amplifiers in a daisy chain topology, allowing the user to display local sources privately, without affecting the other users in the loop. DynamicShare HDMI connection: The HDMI loop daisy chain connection allows sharing a local signal to all monitors.
DYNAMICSHARE INSTALLATION One of the units is set-up as the MASTER unit. By connecting through a web browser, the use can access the internal web configuration. The factory IP address is 192.168.0.125. In AHnet control, please click on REBUILD LOOP. All the units should appear on the device list. The MASTER unit will assign a SHARE ID number to externally control the system.

DYNAMICSHARE INSTALLATION Every time that the share system is initiated, the MASTER unit checks the HDMI loop. It takes about 3 minutes to complete the check-up. During this process, the MASTER unit checks the loop's is properly working. When the MASTER unit is checking the loop, the LEDs indicators of all units are flashing.
