Button Icons
The numbered translucent covers on the input and output buttons can be removed and
replaced to insert labels behind the covers.
Input and output labels can be created easily with the Extron Button-Label Generator
software, which is shipped with every Extron matrix switcher. Each input and output can be
labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input
and output selection (see figure18). See Removing and Installing Button Labels on
page147 for details on using the labeling software, blank labels you can fill in yourself, and
a procedure for removing and replacing the translucent covers.

Power
Apply power by connecting the power cord between the switcher and an AC source. The
switcher performs a self-test that blinks the front panel button indicators red, green, and
amber and then turns them off. An error-free power-up self-test sequence leaves all input,
output, and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination and the Video
button and the Audio button lit.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is
applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. If your
switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline. See
www.extron.com for the phone number in your region of the world.
