displayed on the monitor. In order to switch from one PC to the other, simply hit the
SCROLL LOCK key twice on your keyboard, then hit either the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.

simply hit the SCROLL LOCK key twice, then hit the S key. This will make the KVM Switch alternate between the two PCs every 8 seconds. To exit Auto Scan mode, press any key.

Troubleshooting
Make sure all cables are secure. Label your cables to avoid confusion. Turning on your PC:
DO NOT press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is turning on. Otherwise, it might cause a keyboard error. This may also result in an unpredictable error on your PC

Keyboard :
If the keyboard is not responding through the KVM switch, make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the PC. If the keyboard is still not responding in the KVM switch, try a different keyboard.

Mouse :
If the mouse is not responding through the KVM switch, make sure the mouse works when
directly plugged into the PC. Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when
switching the port. If the mouse is still not responding in the KVM switch, try a different
mouse.
