6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your KVM switch:

• Keep the device in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or excessive humidity.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ensure all cable connections are secure.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KVM switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display/Blank Screen:
  • Verify all HDMI cables are securely connected between the computers, KVM switch, and monitor.
  • Ensure the KVM switch is powered on and the correct input is selected.
  • Check the monitor's input source settings.
  • Try restarting the KVM switch and the connected computers.
• Keyboard/Mouse Not Responding:
  • Ensure the keyboard and mouse are connected to the dedicated KVM USB ports.
  • Verify the USB cables from the computers to the KVM switch are properly connected.
  • Try pressing the "Reset" button on the KVM switch (if available) to reinitialize USB devices.
  • If using a wireless keyboard/mouse, ensure the receiver is connected to the dedicated KVM USB port and has sufficient power.
  • Some advanced gaming keyboards/mice may not be fully compatible with KVM hotkey functions. Try connecting them to the general USB HUB ports if hotkeys are not required.
• Slow Switching Time:
  • Switching times can vary depending on the connected devices and their boot-up sequences.
  • Ensure all cables are of good quality and appropriate length.
• Display Blanks Out Periodically:
