Operating Instructions
Screen Mirroring Modes
The dongle supports two primary streaming modes:
- Mirror Mode: Replicates your device's screen directly onto the larger display. Ideal for presentations, sharing photos, or watching videos.
- Extend Mode: Allows you to use the larger display as a second screen, extending your desktop or mobile interface. This enables multitasking, such as watching a movie on the TV while browsing on your phone.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Signal on Display | Incorrect HDMI input selected; insufficient power supply; loose connection. | Ensure the correct HDMI input is selected on your TV/monitor. Verify the dongle is properly powered (light on: normal power). Check all cable connections. |
| Screen Mirroring Fails | Incorrect connection mode (iOS/Android); device not discoverable; network interference. | Tap the function button to switch between iOS and Android modes. Ensure your device's Wi-Fi is on and connected to the dongle's network (as per on-screen instructions). Try restarting both the dongle and your source device. |
| Lag or Choppy Video | Distance from dongle; network congestion; interference. | Reduce the distance between your source device and the dongle (optimal up to 16 feet/5 meters). Ensure minimal obstacles. For a more stable connection, connect to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network if available. |
| Certain Apps Not Mirroring | Copyright protection (HDCP). | This is an inherent limitation due to content protection protocols. Apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video are typically not supported for mirroring. |
