If you encounter issues with your BW-TH16, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display Output:

• USB Devices Not Recognized:
  • Ensure the USB device is properly inserted into the USB 3.1 port.
  • Try connecting the USB device directly to your host device to confirm it's working.
