Operating
Once connected, your Apple device's screen content will automatically mirror to the connected display. For video content, the adapter will output the video in up to 1080p HD. Ensure your device's volume is adjusted as needed, as audio will also be transmitted through the HDMI connection.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your adapter:
- Keep the adapter clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the adapter yourself. This may void any applicable warranty.
- Handle the connectors gently to prevent damage to the pins.

If you encounter issues with your adapter, try the following:
- No display on TV/Projector: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Verify that the TV/projector is set to the correct HDMI input. Try restarting your Apple device.
