Operating Modes

The PWAYTEK Wireless HDMI system supports two primary operating modes:

  • Extended Mode: Extends your source device's desktop, allowing for a multi-display setup.

You can switch between these modes with a single click on the button located on the Transmitter unit. This feature is particularly useful when using multiple transmitters with one receiver.

Troubleshooting

  • No Signal / Black Screen:
    • Ensure both the Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) are properly powered via their respective USB-C ports.
    • Verify that the HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source device and the display.
    • Check if the display is set to the correct HDMI input source.
    • Try restarting both the source device and the display.
  • Flickering or Unstable Picture:
    • Ensure the Transmitter and Receiver are within the recommended transmission distance (up to 98ft/30m line-of-sight, less through walls).
    • Minimize obstacles (walls, furniture) between the Transmitter and Receiver.
    • Reduce interference from other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) by moving them further away.
    • Ensure the power supply to both units is stable and sufficient (5V/1A).
    • While the device supports 4K 30Hz, for smoother transmission and less delay, consider using 1080p 60Hz resolution if experiencing issues, especially with fast-moving content.
  • No Audio:
    • Check the audio settings on your source device and ensure the correct audio output is selected.
    • Verify the volume levels on both your source device and the display.
    • Ensure the HDMI connection is secure, as audio is transmitted through HDMI.
  • Mouse Lag or Video Stutter (at 4K):
    • This can sometimes occur at higher resolutions like 4K. For applications requiring very low latency (e.g., gaming, precise mouse control), consider reducing the resolution to 1080p 60Hz.
    • Ensure there are no significant obstructions or sources of interference between the transmitter and receiver.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PWAYTEK Wireless HDMI system, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Keep the devices clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols.
  • Store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
  • Avoid dropping or subjecting the devices to strong impacts.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the units yourself, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage.
