5.3 General Usage Tips

  • For optimal signal strength and stability, maintain a clear line of sight between the Transmitter and Receiver units. Physical obstructions such as walls can reduce the effective transmission range.
  • Position both units away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., microwaves, large motors) to prevent signal disruption.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around both units, particularly the Transmitter, to prevent overheating during prolonged operation.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BRAIDOL Wireless HDMI system, adhere to the following maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior surfaces of the units. Avoid using liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or aerosol sprays.
  • Storage: When the units are not in use for extended periods, store them in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation openings on both units are unobstructed to allow for proper airflow and prevent overheating.
  • Cable Care: Handle all connected HDMI and USB cables with care. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling that could damage the internal wiring or connectors.
