Troubleshooting Guide

1. Device Not Working / No Response

   • Ensure the power switch is turned ON.

   • Check that all cables are securely connected to the proper ports. The Host computers must be connected to the USB-C ports labeled  1 and 2. 

   • Try a different USB port on your computer.

   • If using high-power peripherals (e.g., external HDDs), connect an external USB-C power adapter (5V 3A,  not included).

2. Peripheral Devices Not Recognized

   • Verify that the connected USB devices function properly when directly connected to the computer.

   • Restart the switch by unplugging and reconnecting the cables.

   • If using a USB 2.0 keyboard/mouse, connect them to USB port #2, and USB 3.0 devices to port #4 to reduce interference.

3. Lag or Connectivity Issues

   • Try using shorter, high-quality USB cables.

   • Reduce the number of connected high-power devices.

   • Ensure both host computers are connected before switching between them.

4. Remote Control Not Working

   • Check if the remote control function is enabled (press and hold buttons #1 and #2 on the switch for 5 seconds; slow-blinking LEDs indicate enabled, fast-blinking indicates disabled).

   • Replace the battery if necessary.
