3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Driver Installation

The ABLEWE USB to HDMI Adapter features internal drivers for convenient installation. When you plug the adapter into your computer for the first time, it will typically appear as a virtual CD-ROM drive. Follow these steps to install the necessary drivers:

Connect the USB end of the adapter to an available USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port on your computer.
Your computer should detect the adapter and display it as a new drive (e.g., CD DRIVE (H:)).
Open 'My Computer' or 'This PC' and navigate to the newly detected drive.
Inside the drive, you will find two software installers: one for Windows XP and another for Windows 7/8/8.1/10. Select and run the appropriate installer for your operating system.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the driver installation.
After installation, a system restart may be required for the changes to take effect.

Once drivers are installed, connect the HDMI end of the adapter to your external display (HDTV, monitor, or projector) using a standard HDMI cable (not included).

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Display Modes

The adapter supports two primary display modes:

Mirror Mode: Duplicates your computer's screen onto the external display. Both screens will show the same content.
Extend Mode: Expands your computer's desktop across both screens, allowing you to open applications and windows independently on each display. This mode is ideal for multitasking and increasing productivity.

You can switch between these modes through your computer's display settings (usually accessible by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting 'Display settings' or by pressing Windows Key + P).

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ABLEWE USB to HDMI Adapter, please refer to the following common solutions:

Display Not Detected: Ensure the adapter is securely connected to both your computer's USB port and the display's HDMI port. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your display.
Driver Issues: If the display is not working or is unstable, the driver may not be installed correctly or may be corrupted. Re-run the driver installation from the virtual CD-ROM drive or consult the official ABLEWE support website for the latest drivers.
Lagging or Choppy Video: While the adapter supports 1080P@60Hz, performance can be affected by your computer's processing power and the USB port used. Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port if available for optimal performance. Close unnecessary applications to free up system resources.
No Audio: Check your computer's sound settings to ensure audio is routed to the HDMI output. Also, verify that your HDMI cable supports audio transmission.
Compatibility: Remember that this adapter is designed for Windows operating systems only. It will not function with Mac OS or Chrome OS.
