7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KVM switch, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Avoid exposing the KVM switch to moisture or liquids.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.
• Periodically check all cable connections to ensure they are secure.

8. Troubleshooting

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

1. No Display or Incorrect Resolution:
   • Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch and your monitors/PCs.
   • Verify that your laptop's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode for video output. Not all USB-C ports have this capability.
   • Check your display settings on both computers to ensure the correct resolution and refresh rate are selected (up to 4K@60Hz).
   • If using Mac OS, remember that it may be limited to mirror mode due to lack of MST support.
   • Try connecting monitors directly to your PC/laptop to confirm they function correctly without the KVM.
2. USB Peripherals Not Working or Disconnecting:
   • Ensure the USB 3.0 cable (for desktop) and USB-C cable (for laptop) are properly connected to the KVM switch and your computers.
   • Try connecting the problematic USB device to a different USB 3.0 port on the KVM switch.
   • If using a wireless keyboard/mouse, ensure the receiver is plugged directly into the KVM switch.
   • Some high-power USB devices may require additional power. Ensure the 12V power adapter is connected to the KVM switch.
   • If a mouse disconnects after switching, try reconnecting it or restarting the KVM switch.
3. Laptop Not Charging or Charging Slowly:
   • Confirm your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD).
   • The KVM switch provides up to 80W PD. If your laptop requires higher wattage, it may charge slowly or not at all. Use your laptop's original power adapter if necessary.
   • Ensure the 12V power adapter is connected to the KVM switch for stable operation and PD charging.
4. KVM Switch Not Responding:
   • Check if the 12V power adapter is securely connected and the KVM switch is powered on.
   • Try power cycling the KVM switch (unplug and replug the power adapter).
   • Ensure the wired remote is properly connected if you are using it for switching.
5. Image Quality Issues (Blurry, Contrast Problems):
   • Check all HDMI cable connections. Try using different, high-quality HDMI cables.
   • Ensure your monitor settings are correctly configured.
   • Restart the KVM switch and both connected computers.
