4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your HDMI splitter:
- Connect Output Displays: Connect your monitors, TVs, or projectors to the three HDMI output ports (OUTPUT 1, OUTPUT 2, OUTPUT 3) on the splitter using HDMI 2.0 cables.
- Connect Input Device: Connect your HDMI source device (e.g., PC, PS5, Blu-ray player) to the single HDMI input port (INPUT) on the splitter using an HDMI 2.0 cable.
- Power the Splitter: Use the included USB cable and 5V 1A power adapter to connect the splitter to a power outlet. Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged in.
- Verify Connection: Once powered, the in/power/out LED indicators on the splitter will light up red, indicating it is ready for use.
Setup Tip: For optimal performance and to prevent screen flickering or blackouts, connect the display devices first, then the input source, and finally plug in the 5V 1A power adapter.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the setup is complete and the splitter is powered on, it will automatically detect the input signal and distribute it to all three connected output displays. The splitter operates as a mirror device, meaning all three output displays will show the exact same content from the single input source.
No additional software or drivers are required for operation. The device is plug-and-play.

6. Important Limitations and Notes
Please be aware of the following important limitations and considerations:
- No Extended Displays (MST Mode): This splitter is a mirror-type device. It duplicates the exact same content to all three output displays. It does not support extending your desktop or displaying different content on each screen.
- No Audio Device Support: This splitter cannot connect directly to audio devices like speakers via eARC/ARC. Audio is passed through the HDMI outputs to the connected displays.
- No Input Switching: This device supports only one HDMI input. It is not designed for switching between multiple input sources.
- Requires Power Connection: A stable 5V 1A power adapter connection is mandatory for proper operation. Issues such as flickering, signal loss, or no signal may occur without adequate power.
- Use High-Quality HDMI Cables: To ensure stable signal transmission, it is recommended to use AWG26 HDMI 2.0 (19+1) cables. For 4K content, input/output cable length should be ≤16ft (5m). For 1080P content, input/output cable length should be ≤32.8ft (10m). The total cable length (input + output) for 4K should not exceed 32ft (10m), and for 1080P, it should not exceed 64ft (20m).
- Set to Lowest Resolution for Multiple Displays: When connecting multiple displays with different native resolutions, the source device may default to the lowest common resolution. To ensure all outputs display properly, you may need to manually set the source resolution to match the lowest display's resolution.
- No HDCP Bypass: This product supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2. It only transmits HDMI signals and does not support HDCP content decryption or bypass.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NEWCARE HDMI Splitter, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Signal or Black Screen:
- Ensure the 5V 1A power adapter is securely connected and the splitter's LED indicators are lit.
- Check all HDMI cable connections. Disconnect and reconnect them firmly.
- Try using different HDMI cables, especially high-quality HDMI 2.0 (AWG26) cables, as faulty or low-quality cables can cause signal issues.
- Verify that your input source and output displays are powered on and functioning correctly.
- If connecting to multiple displays with different resolutions, try setting the input source to the lowest common resolution supported by all displays.
- Ensure the total length of your HDMI cables (input + output) does not exceed the recommended limits (16ft for 4K, 32.8ft for 1080P per segment, or 32ft total for 4K, 64ft total for 1080P).
- Flickering Screen or Unstable Picture:
- Confirm the power adapter is providing stable power. Try a different power outlet if necessary.
- Replace HDMI cables with shorter, higher-quality ones if possible.
- Reduce the resolution or refresh rate of the input source to see if the issue resolves.
- Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources nearby.
- Audio Issues:
- Confirm that your displays support audio passthrough via HDMI.
- Remember that the splitter does not support direct connection to external audio devices via eARC/ARC.
