6.1 HDMI Connectivity
The HDMI port allows you to extend the HDMI functionality from your car's multimedia system to a convenient dashboard location. Connect an HDMI-enabled device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, media player) to the HDMI port on the adapter. Ensure your car's multimedia system has an active HDMI input and is configured to display content from the connected source.
Note:
- The HDMI connector of this product will only be available if your car multimedia system has an HDMI function.

8. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Timloon FTHQ adapter, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

If you encounter issues with your Timloon FTHQ adapter, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/Charging:
- Check all power connections to ensure they are secure and correctly wired.
- Verify the vehicle's ignition is on or in accessory mode, as some power sources are only active then.
- Test the USB port with a different known-good charging cable and device.
- HDMI Not Displaying:
- Confirm your car's multimedia system has an active HDMI input and is selected as the source.
- Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected at both ends (adapter and multimedia system).
- Test with a different HDMI-enabled device to rule out device-specific issues.
- Verify your car's multimedia system supports HDMI input.
- Slow Charging:
- Ensure your device and charging cable support Quick Charge 3.0 for optimal speeds.
