Setup Instructions

The SOOMFON HDMI Switch SW001 is designed for simple plug-and-play operation. Follow these steps for proper connection:

1. Identify Your Mode: Determine whether you need to connect two source devices to one display (2-in-1-out) or one source device to two displays (1-in-2-out).
2. Connect HDMI Cables:
   • For 2-in-1-out mode: Connect your two HDMI source devices (e.g., PS5, PC) to the two input ports on the switch. Connect your display (e.g., TV, monitor) to the single output port on the switch.
   • For 1-in-2-out mode: Connect your single HDMI source device (e.g., PC) to the single input port on the switch. Connect your two displays (e.g., Monitor 1, Monitor 2) to the two output ports on the switch.
3. Power (If Needed): For most standard setups, the switch draws power directly from the HDMI cables. If you experience unstable signals or flickering, connect a 5V USB power adapter (not included) to the micro-USB port on the switch.
4. Verify Connection: Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected.
