7. Troubleshooting
- No Display/Signal: Ensure both the HDMI connector is securely plugged into the display and the Lightning connector is securely plugged into your iOS device. Verify the display is set to the correct HDMI input source.

- Content Not Displaying: This adapter does not work with applications that have HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) video copyrights. This includes, but is not limited to, streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Amazon Video, HBO Go, HULU, and certain automotive entertainment systems like Honda Motor. Content from these platforms will not be mirrored.
- Lag or Glitches: Ensure your iOS device is running a compatible iOS version (10.3 or later). If issues persist, try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, or restarting your iOS device.
- Device Overheating: While the cable is designed with good dissipation, prolonged use, especially during high-demand tasks like gaming or video streaming, may cause your iOS device to warm up. If excessive heat is observed, disconnect the device and allow it to cool.
8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cable and connectors. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling the cable to prevent damage.
- Handling: Always grasp the connectors when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself, to prevent internal wire damage.
