AV G1000 Setup Guide

CABLE CONNECTIONS - (ports available at the back of the devices)

  • PWR IN (or POWER on the first generation)
    Connect the provided PSU adapter.

    If you have a second G1000 device, please use the provided jumper cable to connect this port with the PWR IN port on the second device.


TURNING ON

There is no power switch on this device. Just plug in all the cables and you are ready to go.

The backlight of the device should turn ON as soon as it detects that the USB cable is connected to the PC. 

It should turn OFF when you power off your PC. If the backlight stays ON after you shut down the PC, it means that your PC is providing USB power even when it's off. Usually this can be disabled in BIOS.

Although you can leave the device always plugged in to power, we highly recommend to unplug the power when not used. 

It's not only better for the device, it's also better for the environment!
