The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO is now ready for connection to the mains using the mains power adapter supplied. It is important to apply power to the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO first, then power on the monitor and each of the computers in turn. Failure to switch the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO and computers on in the correct order can lead to the mouse and/or keyboard not being recognised by the computers when they are switched on.

You may attach the power adapter to either power inlet A or power inlet B (see figure 2). These ports are both the same and are provided to enable you to connect a redundant (spare) power supply (see section 4.2 for more details). Connect your power adapter to either of the power inlet ports to power on the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. There is no ON/OFF switch and the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will start to operate as soon as the power is applied.
