Using the Gefen DVI FM 500 Extender is easy. First, connect the DVI source to the sender unit using the DVI - D male connector. Then, connect the two units with the LC fiber optic cable strands. Next, connect the receiver unit to your display. If needed, use the EDID program button on the sender to synchronize the video resolution to the display. There's no need for manual configuration. When it comes to power, if your source provides 5V power over the DVI connector, you're good to go. Otherwise, use the second power supply included. Some things to keep in mind: Make sure the fiber cables are properly connected to avoid signal loss. Don't expose the device to extreme temperatures or high humidity. For maintenance, keep the device clean. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. This will help keep your extender working well for a long time.
