Troubleshooting
- Devices not recognized: Ensure all USB cables are securely connected. Try connecting the optional 5V power adapter if using high-power devices. Test devices directly with the computer to confirm they are functional.

- Switching delay: A slight delay (a few seconds) after pressing the switch button is normal as the operating system detects the newly connected devices. If the delay is excessive, ensure all connections are stable and consider using the optional power adapter.
- Intermittent connection: Check for loose cable connections. If using high-power devices, ensure the optional 5V power adapter is connected and providing sufficient power.
Maintenance
- Keep the device in a dry environment and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
