Before connecting your computers and console devices to the SCOUTcombo switch, please ensure
that all devices are powered off. Connecting devices while powered on may lead to damage to your
computers or the SCOUTcombo. Daxten cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
connecting devices that are powered.

it on the desktop.

symbol. If you use a USB keyboard and mouse you can't use the Hot Key commands. (Please
ensure you have device drivers for your keyboard and mouse (HID) loaded on your computer
if required).

If you find that the keyboard or mouse is not working correctly please verify that all cables are properly
connected, or that the HID drivers are loaded on the computer.
