2. Display Device Placement: Determine the location of your HDMI-enabled display device (such as a TV or projector) and position or mount it appropriately.
3. (Optional) Receiver Placement: If you're using additional receivers (ST12MHDLNHR), place the displays connected to them in their desired locations.
4. Transmitter Connection: Use an HDMI cable to connect the video output of your source device to the HDMI video input port on the transmitter unit.
5. Transmitter Power: Plug the transmitter into an AC electrical outlet using the provided power adapter.
6. Receiver Placement: Place the receiver unit near your HDMI-enabled display device.
7. Receiver Connection: Connect an HDMI cable from the video input on your display device to the HDMI video output port on the receiver.
8. Receiver Power: Connect the receiver to an AC electrical outlet using its power adapter.
9. Network Connection: Connect an RJ-45 terminated CAT5/5e/6 Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the transmitter.
10. Receiver Network Connection: Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector on the receiver.
11. DIP Switch Settings: Ensure the rotary DIP switches on both the transmitter and receiver are set to the same position or channel for proper communication.
12. Power Up: Turn on all devices and allow them to establish a connection.
13. Verification: Your video source image should now appear on the display connected to the receiver.

Note: If you're using a Local Area Network (LAN), you might need to take extra steps, such as connecting the devices to your network and setting up IP addresses.
