4. Operating Modes

4.1 Mirror Mode

In Mirror Mode, your device's screen content is duplicated and displayed in real-time on the larger screen. This is ideal for presentations, sharing photos, or watching videos directly from your device.

4.2 Extend Mode

Extend Mode allows you to display different content on the large screen while your device's screen remains independent. For example, you can play a movie on the TV while browsing the web on your phone. This mode is primarily available for Windows devices.

5. Compatibility and Limitations

The dongle supports a wide range of devices and operating systems:

• Operating Systems: iOS 7+, Android 5.0+, Mac OS 10.8+, Windows 8.1+
• Devices: iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Samsung, Huawei, LG, HTC smartphones/tablets, PC laptops.

Important Note on HDCP Content:

Apple (iOS/Mac OS) devices do not support applications with "HDCP" (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) subscription services. This means you cannot mirror content from apps such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BT Sports, Sky Go, Hulu, etc., when using an Apple device with this dongle. Android devices are compatible with most, but not all, such applications.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Display/Blue Screen: Ensure the dongle is properly connected to both the HDMI port and a stable 5V/2A power source. Verify that your TV/monitor is set to the correct HDMI input.
• Cannot Connect to WiFi: Double-check the WiFi name and password displayed on the TV screen. Ensure your device is within range of the dongle's WiFi signal during initial setup.
• Mirroring Issues (Lag/Disconnections): Ensure both your device and the dongle are connected to a strong and stable home WiFi network. Reduce distance between devices and the WiFi router. Avoid interference from other wireless devices.
• No Audio: Check your TV/monitor's audio settings. Ensure the volume is not muted on either your source device or the display.
• App Not Working (iOS): Remember that iOS devices do not support HDCP-protected content from certain streaming apps (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime Video). This is a limitation due to content protection, not a defect of the dongle.
