How to Operate the GefenToolBox 4x1 Switcher for HDMI
The top panel of the GefenToolBox 4x1 Switcher for HDMI contains a set of LED
indicators, displaying which input (source) is being routed to the output (display).
This allows for easy management and viewing of the input and output routing
state.
There is a single row of LED indicators on the front panel. To the left of the LED
indicator is a push button labeled “Input”. The numbers along the top of each
LED represents the currently selected Input (source): 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Example 1: Route Input (source) 2 to the Output

and an HDMI cable is connected from the display to the Output port on the
Switcher.
2. Press the Input Select button until the LED under column 2 glows blue. If
the LED does not immediately appear under column 2, continue depressing
the Input Select button until the LED under column 2 is enabled (Fig 1.1).
