Operating Instructions

Switching Between Computers

The MT-VIKI KVM Switch allows you to switch between connected computers using the physical buttons on the device.

1. To switch to a specific computer, press the corresponding numbered button (1, 2, 3, or 4) on the front panel of the KVM switch. The LED indicator for the active computer will illuminate.

Maintenance

• Keep the KVM switch in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Ensure cables are securely connected to prevent signal loss or intermittent issues.

Troubleshooting

No display on monitor after switching.

• Ensure all VGA and USB cables are securely connected to both the computers and the KVM switch.
• Verify that the USB cable from the computer is plugged into the primary USB input (often labeled USB 1 or the first available USB port) on the computer, as this often supplies power to the KVM switch.
• Try restarting the computer that is not displaying.
• Check the monitor's input source to ensure it is set to the correct VGA input.

Keyboard or mouse not responding.

• Ensure the keyboard and mouse are connected to the dedicated KVM USB ports, not the USB hub ports (unless using a wireless receiver).
• Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard/mouse cables.
• If using a wireless setup, ensure the receiver is properly connected and has power.

Intermittent signal or flickering display.

• Check for loose cable connections.
• Ensure the KVM cables are not excessively long or coiled, which can degrade signal quality.
• Reduce interference from other electronic devices.
