2. Activate Receiver Pairing Mode: Locate the "Pairing Button" hole at the bottom of the receiver. Use a card pin or a similar thin object to press and hold this button for 5-8 seconds.
3. Confirm Receiver Status: Observe your display. The message "Ready to Pair" should appear on the TV screen, indicating the receiver is awaiting a connection.
4. Activate Transmitter Pairing Mode: Take your Q5-TX transmitter. Press and hold the main button (Signal Projection Switch) on the transmitter for approximately 5 seconds.
5. Confirm Transmitter Status: The indicator light in the middle of the transmitter will begin to flash. Release the button.
6. Automatic Pairing: The transmitter and receiver will automatically attempt to pair. Once successful, the indicator light on the transmitter will become solid, and the display will show the transmitted content.

2. Activate Transmitter Pairing: Press the main button on the transmitter for 3 seconds. The light status will become fast flashing, indicating it is ready to pair.
3. Monitor Pairing: The display screen will show "Pairing." Kindly wait for approximately 20 seconds for the connection to be established between the transmitter and receiver.
4. Connection Confirmation: Once successfully paired, the transmitter indicator light will remain solid on.

5. Operation

Once the Q5-TX transmitter is successfully paired with a compatible receiver, operation is straightforward.

Connecting to Source Devices

The Q5-TX transmitter features an HDMI male connector. Simply plug it into the HDMI output port of your source device. Compatible devices include:

• PC (Desktop Computers)
• Laptop
• Set-top box
• Gaming Consoles (PS3/PS4, Nintendo Switch)
• Cameras
• DV (Digital Video Cameras)

The transmitter also has a USB-C input for power. Ensure it is connected to a power source (e.g., a USB port on your laptop or a USB power adapter) if your source device's HDMI port does not provide sufficient power.

Figure 5: This diagram illustrates the wide compatibility of the POFAN Wireless HDMI system. It shows various input devices (PC, Laptop, Set-top box, PS3/4, Nintendo Switch, Camera, DV) connecting to the transmitter, which then wirelessly transmits to the receiver, connected to output devices (Projector, Monitor, TV).

Multi-Transmitter Switching (Many-to-One Mode)

A single POFAN receiver can support up to 8 Q5-TX transmitters. This allows for seamless switching between multiple source devices connected to different transmitters, all displaying on the same receiver-connected screen.

1. Ensure all transmitters are paired with the receiver.
2. To switch between active transmitters, simply press the main button (Signal Projection Switch) on the desired transmitter. The receiver will automatically switch to display the content from that transmitter.
3. This operation allows for quick and efficient content sharing without reconnecting cables.

Figure 6: This image demonstrates the "Many-to-One Mode" feature, showing multiple laptops (each with a transmitter) wirelessly connecting to a single receiver, which is then connected to a large display, allowing for one-click switching between sources.

6. Maintenance

The POFAN Q5-TX Wireless HDMI Transmitter requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity and optimal performance:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the transmitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Handle the device with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Power: Always use the recommended power source (USB-C 5V) to power the transmitter if the HDMI source does not provide sufficient power.

  • Minimize interference from other wireless devices operating on 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies.
  • Check if the source device's resolution is supported by the receiver and display.
• Transmitter Not Pairing:
  • Follow the "Initial Pairing Process" or "Reset and Re-pairing Procedure" carefully (Section 4).
