Using this BZBGEAR 8K HDMI 1x2 Splitter is easy. First, connect your HDMI source to the 'HDMI IN' port on the splitter. Then, connect your two displays to the 'HDMI OUT' ports. You can also connect audio devices to the optical or 3.5mm stereo mini - jack ports for audio output. Make sure to use the provided 5V/2A power supply to power the splitter. When choosing an HDMI cable, refer to the recommended cable types and lengths based on your video resolution. It's best to use a 'Premium High - Speed HDMI' cable. For maintenance, keep the splitter in a cool, dry place within the operating temperature range of 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C). Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, store it at a temperature between - 4°F - 140°F (- 20°C - 60°C) and relative humidity of 20 - 90% RH (non - condensing). And always handle it gently to prevent damage to the metal enclosure.
