4. Setup Instructions

1. Connect Computers: Use the two included USB 3.0 A-to-A cables to connect the two USB Input ports on the switch to available USB 3.0 ports on your two computers (Host 1 and Host 2).
2. Connect Peripherals: Plug your USB peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard, printer, scanner, USB flash drive) into the four USB Output ports on the switch.
3. Optional Power Connection: If you are connecting high-power USB devices such as external hard drives or digital cameras, connect a standard 5V power adapter (not included) to the Micro USB 5V Power Supply Interface on the switch. This ensures stable operation for all connected devices. Low-power devices like keyboards and mice typically do not require external power.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the switch is set up, operating it is straightforward:

• Switching Computers: To switch control of the connected USB peripherals between your two computers, simply press the 'Switch' button located on the top of the device.
• LED Indicator: The LED indicator light on the switch will change to show which computer (Host 1 or Host 2) is currently active and has control over the shared USB devices.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Recognized or Unstable Connection:
  • Ensure all USB cables are securely connected to both the switch and your computers/peripherals.
  • For high-power devices, connect an external 5V power adapter (not included) to the Micro USB port on the switch.
  • Try connecting the peripheral directly to the computer to rule out device-specific issues.
  • Ensure your computer's USB ports are functioning correctly.
• Slow Data Transfer:
  • Verify that you are using USB 3.0 compatible cables and ports on both the switch and your computers for optimal speeds.
  • Ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are simultaneously using the same USB controller on your computer.
• Switching Delay:
  • A slight delay (typically 2-3 seconds) may occur when switching between computers as the system recognizes the peripherals. This is normal operation.
