Chapter 5. Hotkey Operation
Computer Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If either the keyboard or mouse stop functioning on the computer connected to the currently selected port, you can perform a keyboard / mouse reset on the computer by executing the following steps:
1.Enter the Hotkey mode with the:
[Num Lock] +
2.Press [F5].
