Fonts
When creating custom inserts, we recommend the use of Arial 10 pt. Bold font.

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. Remove the lens assembly from the primary input switch by pulling straight upward on the lens cap.
2. Remove the lens cap from the lens and place the desired input designation under the lens cap.
3. Remove the lens cap from the key cap and place the desired input designation under the lens cap.

Tip
If you have trouble removing the lens assembly, use a pair of wide-tipped pliers (1/2 inch) with masking tape wrapped around the ends. For best results, wiggle the button back and forth as you extract it.

Please note
• When installing the lens assembly, line up the locating lugs on the lens with the locating slots in the primary input switch. Otherwise, the lens cap may pop off when the switch is pressed and released.
• The designation film must read correctly with the lens locating lugs at the sides, not the top and bottom.
• Perform this procedure for all buttons on each bus on your switcher.
