7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal on Display:
  • Ensure all cable connections are secure.
  • Verify the display device is set to the correct HDMI input source.
  • Check that the USB-A power connector is plugged into a functional power source (e.g., a wall adapter, not just a TV's USB port which may not provide enough power).
  • Restart your mobile device and the display device.
• No Audio or Audio Sync Issues:
  • If using Bluetooth for audio, ensure your mobile device is correctly paired and connected to the desired audio output device.
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Bluetooth audio device.
  • Some applications or content may have inherent audio sync delays when mirroring.
• Screen Mirroring Stops Unexpectedly:
  • Ensure your mobile device's screen mirroring settings are configured to remain active.
  • Check for any power saving modes on your phone that might interrupt the connection.
  • Verify the Miraplug APP is running correctly in the background if required for your device.
• Overheating:
  • It is normal for the dongle part of the cable to become warm during extended use. However, if it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately and ensure adequate ventilation.
• Incompatibility with Certain Apps:
  • Some streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video) may implement DRM protection that prevents content from being mirrored to external displays. This is a limitation of the content provider, not the cable.

8. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ASHATA HDMI cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cable and connectors. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Handling: Avoid bending the cable sharply or applying excessive force to the connectors, as this can damage internal wiring.
• Disconnection: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
