To read the EDID from the output:

1. Press EDID+STO. The EDID and STO button LEDs light. The 7-segment display shows the current EDID status.

2. Press one or more input buttons or press ALL, the corresponding 7-segment LEDs flash.

3. Press an output button that is connected to a display. The 7-segment LEDs show the output number from which the EDID is read.

4. Press EDID. Wait approx. 5 seconds. The EDID of the display is copied to the input port/s and the device exits EDID mode.

To revert to the default EDID:

1. Press EDID+STO. The EDID and STO button LEDs light. The 7-segment display shows the current EDID status.

2. Press one or more input buttons or press ALL, the corresponding 7-segment LEDs flash.
