Bedienungsanleitung

The IOGEAR 4-Port 4K HDMI Switch offers two methods for switching between connected devices:

• Front Panel Pushbutton: Press the 'Select' button on the front of the switch to cycle through the connected HDMI input sources. The corresponding LED indicator will illuminate to show the active input.
• IR-Fernbedienung: Use the included IR remote control to directly select an input (if numbered buttons are present) or to cycle through inputs. Point the remote towards the IR receiver on the front of the switch.
• Automatische Umschaltung: The switch may automatically switch to a newly activated HDMI source. This feature can be convenient but may cause unintended switching if devices periodically send signals.

Wartung

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your HDMI switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Reinigung: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the switch. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols, which may damage the device.
• Belüftung: Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Schalter an einem gut belüfteten Ort aufgestellt wird, um eine Überhitzung zu vermeiden. Blockieren Sie keine Lüftungsöffnungen.
• Kabelmanagement: Keep HDMI cables neatly organized to prevent strain on the ports and accidental disconnections.
• Lagerung: Bei längerer Nichtbenutzung sollte der Schalter an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort, geschützt vor direkter Sonneneinstrahlung und extremen Temperaturen, aufbewahrt werden.

Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your IOGEAR 4-Port 4K HDMI Switch, refer to the following common solutions:

• Keine Video-/Audioausgabe:
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle HDMI-Kabel fest mit den Quellgeräten, dem Switch und dem Display verbunden sind.
  • Verify that the correct input on the HDMI switch is selected.
  • Confirm that your display is set to the correct HDMI input channel.
  • If using a micro USB power cable, ensure it is connected to a reliable power source.
  • Try bypassing the switch by connecting a source directly to the display to confirm the source and display are functioning correctly.
• Fernbedienung funktioniert nicht:
  • Check if the battery in the remote control is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the IR receiver on the switch.
  • Remove any plastic pull-tabs from the remote's battery compartment.
• 4K Resolution Issues:
  • Ensure all connected HDMI cables are rated for 4K (High-Speed HDMI cables).
  • Verify that your source device and display both support 4K resolution at the desired refresh rate (e.g., 60Hz).
  • Some devices may require specific settings to output 4K through an HDMI switch. Consult your device's manual.
• Unintended Automatic Switching:
  • This behavior is often due to the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) feature or active signal detection. If it becomes disruptive, manually select inputs using the remote or front panel button.
