The DARLYOR G41W supports both Mirror Mode and Extend Mode, offering flexibility for different use cases.

Mirror Mode: Your device's screen content is duplicated directly onto the larger display. This is ideal for presentations, sharing photos, or watching videos with others.
Extend Mode: The larger display acts as a secondary monitor, allowing you to display different content on your device and the external screen simultaneously. For example, you can watch a video on the TV while browsing on your phone.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DARLYOR G41W dongle, refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Possible Solution
No display on TV/monitor	Ensure the dongle is securely plugged into the HDMI port. Verify the TV/monitor input source is set to the correct HDMI port. Check if the dongle is receiving adequate power from the USB source. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
Unstable connection or lag	Ensure your source device is within close proximity to the dongle. Minimize interference from other wireless devices. For Google Pixel phones, ensure the dongle's chip is updated online for optimal performance. Contact support for assistance with updates. Restart both the dongle (by unplugging and replugging power) and your source device.
