5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Basic Operation

Once both TX and RX units are powered on and connected as described in the Setup section, the video and audio signal from your source device will be automatically transmitted wirelessly to your display. No additional software or app installation is required.

5.2. Multi-Receiver Setup

The BovBox WL097PRO system supports connecting one Transmitter (TX) to up to four Receivers (RXs) simultaneously. This allows for broadcasting the same content to multiple displays. Please note that increasing the number of receivers may reduce the overall wireless transmission distance. Each new receiver must be paired with the transmitter initially.

5.3. Audio Output

The Receiver (RX) unit is equipped with a 3.5mm audio output interface. This allows you to connect external audio devices such as soundbars or speakers directly to the receiver, providing separate audio routing from the video signal.

5.4. Power Options

Both the Transmitter and Receiver units offer flexible power options. They can be powered using the included 5V/2A USB-C power adapters, a compatible power bank, or NP-F series batteries (NP-F batteries are not included). A battery low light indicator is integrated to alert you when power is running low.

6. Important Considerations

6.1. 4K Transmission Requirements

For optimal 4K@30Hz video transmission, ensure the following:

• Your video input device (e.g., laptop, PC, camera) must support 4K resolution.
• Your video output device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector) must support 4K resolution.
• All HDMI cables used in the setup must be 4K compatible.

The BovBox WL097PRO natively supports 3840x2160 pixel 4K resolution. Please note that 4096x2160 pixel resolution is not supported.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BovBox WL097PRO system, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal: Ensure all HDMI and power cables are securely connected to both the TX and RX units, and that both units are powered on. Verify that your source device is active and your display is set to the correct HDMI input.
• Intermittent Signal/Poor Quality: Check for obstructions between the TX and RX units. Ensure they are within the recommended transmission range (up to 820ft line-of-sight). Interference from other wireless devices (especially on 5GHz/2.4GHz bands) can also affect performance. Try repositioning the units or adjusting antenna angles.
• No Audio: If video is present but no audio, ensure your display's audio is not muted and volume is up. If using the 3.5mm audio output, verify the external audio device is correctly connected and powered.
• Units Not Pairing: Although auto-paired from the factory, if units fail to connect, try pressing the reset button on both the TX and RX units.
