Using your Switch2
Keyboard Hot Keys:
You can also switch between computers by pressing the "Ctrl" button on your keyboard twice
in rapid succession. This is called a "hot-key sequence." To enable hot-key switching, click or
right-click on the
icon, select "Options" and then select "Enable Hotkey Switching". You
can also change to a different hot-key sequence in the "Options" screen. If you want to use
the same hot-key sequence for both computers, you will need to repeat these steps for each
computer. You can choose from among the following four sequences:
•
Ctrl, Ctrl
•
NumLock/Clear, NumLock/Clear
•
Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock
•
Ctrl, Ctrl, Shift
(For each hot-key sequence, the buttons must be pressed in rapid succession.)

Changing Volume
To change the volume on the computer you are currently accessing, push the
button on the front of Switch2. To mute the volume, push the
Switch2. Once you successfully install the switching software, a red LED will light up on
Switch2 when the volume is muted on your computer. (If you are using a Mac keyboard, you
can still perform these same functions on your keyboard.) The volume control buttons on

Your Mac mini does not feature a disk eject button; however, you can eject a CD or DVD from
your Mac mini by pushing the
button on the front of Switch2. (If you are using a Mac
keyboard, you can still perform this function on your keyboard.) The disk eject button on
Switch2 can only be used for Mac computers.
