On many Monoprice Blackbird switches, you can toggle between Auto and Manual Switching Mode by pressing and holding the 'SOURCE AUTO/3s' button for 3 seconds or by pressing the 'AUTO' button on the IR remote control.
Ensure you are in an outdoor, unobstructed environment. The GPS icon will appear in the upper left corner once satellites are found. If it fails, try restarting the device or performing a factory reset by holding both buttons for 2 seconds while powered off and charging.
Some smaller Blackbird switches, like the 3x1 HDMI Switch (P/N 43963), are powered directly by the HDMI bus and often do not require an external power source. However, check your specific model's manual as larger matrices and extenders always require their dedicated power adapters.
For the BB18 model, while the device is powered off and connected to a charger, press and hold both the left and right buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to reset it to factory settings.
