Printing
The Synergy Crosspoint Pushbutton Inserts, "Standard", "Custom" and "External DSK", are to be printed on transparency film designed for your specific printer, inkjet or laser. Refer to your printer manual and the transparency film instructions for proper printing procedures.

Cutting Inserts
For best results when cutting out the button inserts, use a sharp X-Acto knife and a steel-edged ruler.

Installation (Instructions.pdf)
Use the following steps to install the Synergy Crosspoint Pushbutton Inserts. Use the diagram below for reference.

1. Cut out the designation film inserts for the primary input pushbuttons.
2. Remove the lens assembly from the primary input switch by pulling straight upward on the lens cap.
3. Remove the lens cap from the key cap and place the desired input designation under the lens cap.

Please note
• When reinstalling the lens assembly, align the locking tab on the key cap with the alignment tab of the lens cap, and then with the locating slots in the primary input switch in the panel. Otherwise, the lens cap may pop off when the switch is pressed and released.
• The designation film must read correctly with the lens alignment tabs at the top and bottom, not at the sides.
• Perform this procedure for all buttons on each bus on your switcher.
