Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Flip PS/2 with
Audio KVM Switch. Flip is easy to set up and use, and comes with
everything you need to share one monitor, keyboard, mouse, and one
set of speakers between your two computers. No additional cables or
software are required.
The diagram below shows a typical Flip setup. The remote sits on
your desk and connects—along with your monitor, keyboard, mouse,
and speakers—to the cable base. The base is connected to your two
computers.
Installing your Flip
Before you begin, make sure that both computers are powered off.
1.
Connect your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers to the base.
Now, connect the remote to the base. Place the remote anywhere

keyboard, or other desk item.

Keep the base behind your computers to
keep your desk free of cable clutter.
