PRECAUTIONS

It is vital to take certain measures when using the Monoprice 15649 2-WAY VGA Splitter with Audio in order to ensure that it functions correctly and to avoid any potential problems that may arise.

Take into consideration the following safety measures:

• Devices That Are Compatible:
  Make sure that the video source, displays, and audio equipment that are all connected to your computer are all compatible with the VGA signal format. The VGA signal is the only one that can be divided by this particular splitter; therefore, if you use it with other video formats or devices, you risk damaging it or getting erroneous functionality.

• The Quality of VGA Cables:
  To link the video source, the splitter, and the monitors, you need make use of VGA cables of a good grade. The loss of a signal, interference, or a decrease in video quality can be caused by cables that are broken or of poor quality.

• A Source of Power:
  For some VGA splitters, an external power supply is necessary in order for the device to operate properly. Make sure that the power supply or adapter that was provided is used and that it is connected to the splitter in the correct manner.

• Adjusting the Audio:
  Make sure that the audio is accurately routed to the output that you want it to go to, such as external speakers or audio systems, by checking the settings on all of the devices that are connected to the computer.

• Degradation of the Signal:
  When VGA signals are split, there is a possibility that there will be some signal deterioration. In the event that you experience any problems with the audio or video quality, you may want to explore utilizing shorter VGA cables or a signal booster/amplifier in order to improve the signal.

• Having Adequate Ventilation:
  It is important to ensure that the VGA splitter has appropriate ventilation around it, particularly if it has its own power supply. It is best to avoid putting it in confined locations where the accumulation of heat could negatively influence its performance.

• Cables Are Being Disconnected:
  Make sure the computer and audio equipment are turned off before connecting or detaching the VGA and audio connections. Failing to do so could result in damage to the splitter or the devices that are connected to it.

• Overloading:
  It is important to avoid using a resolution or refresh rate that is higher than the maximum that is supported by the connected displays. Doing so will cause the splitter to become overloaded, which will result in a performance decrease.

• Static electricity discharge:
  To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive components, discharge any static electricity from your body by contacting a grounded object before connecting or detaching any cords. This will prevent any damage that could be caused by ESD.

• Instructions from the Manufacturer:
  When it comes to correct installation, usage, and troubleshooting, it is important to follow the instructions and suggestions supplied by the manufacturer in the user manual.
