Operating Instructions

Switching Between Computers

You can switch between connected computers using two methods:

• Front Panel Button: Press the "Select" button on the front panel of the KVM switch to toggle between PC1 and PC2.
• Wired Remote Controller: Press the button on the wired remote controller to switch between PC1 and PC2. This allows for convenient switching if the KVM switch is out of reach.

Note: Keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) are not supported by this model.

Display Modes (Copy and Extended)

This KVM switch supports both copy mode and extended mode for your dual monitors. Your computer must have two HDMI output ports to utilize dual monitor functionality.

• Copy Mode: Both monitors display the same image.
• Extended Mode: Monitors display different images, extending your desktop workspace.

Important: If your computer only supports a single monitor output, this KVM switch will not enable dual monitor functionality. Ensure your computer's graphics card supports dual HDMI outputs.

USB 3.0 Functionality

The four USB 3.0 ports on the front panel allow you to share USB devices between the two connected computers. Data transfer rates are up to 5Gbp/s, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

If you encounter any issues, please refer to the following common solutions:

USB Devices Not Working

• Confirm that the USB 3.0 cable is properly connected between the computer and the KVM switch.
• Verify that the computer's USB port is functioning correctly.
