- Connect an HDMI cable from your computer's HDMI output to an HDMI input port (PC1, PC2, PC3, or PC4) on the KVM switch.
- Connect a USB 3.0 cable from your computer's USB port to the corresponding USB 3.0 input port (USB3.0-PC1, USB3.0-PC2, etc.) on the KVM switch.
- Peripheral Connections (Output): Connect your keyboard, mouse, and other USB 3.0 devices (e.g., printer, U disk) to the USB 3.0 output ports on the front of the KVM switch.
- Wired Remote Connection: If desired, connect the wired remote control to the dedicated remote port on the KVM switch.

5. Operating Instructions
The KVM switch offers two primary methods for switching between connected computers:
5.1. Button Switching
Press the corresponding button (PC1, PC2, PC3, or PC4) on the front panel of the KVM switch to switch to the desired computer. The LED indicator (L1, L2, L3, L4) next to the button will illuminate to show the active computer.
5.2. Wired Remote Control
Press the button on the wired remote control to cycle through the connected computers. Each press will switch to the next available computer in sequence (PC1 -> PC2 -> PC3 -> PC4 -> PC1...).
This image illustrates the two methods of switching between computers: directly pressing the buttons on the KVM switch and using the wired remote control for convenient switching.
6. 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 all cables are securely connected to prevent signal loss or intermittent issues.
- When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to turn off the KVM switch using the ON-OFF switch.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display on monitor after switching. |
|
|
| Keyboard/Mouse not responding. |
|
|
| Window positions change after switching. | EDID simulation not functioning correctly or not supported by all components. | Ensure all HDMI cables are HDMI 2.0 compliant. The KVM switch has EDID simulation built-in to prevent this; if it persists, ensure proper cable connections and try restarting the KVM and computers. |
| Intermittent signal or flickering. |
