3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your BovBox WL081 Wireless HDMI system:

1. Power On Units: Connect the provided USB-C power cables to both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) units. Ensure they are powered by a 5V/2A power source. The indicator light will turn on.
2. Connect Transmitter to Source: Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI output port of your source device (e.g., laptop, camera, game console). Connect the other end of this HDMI cable to the HDMI IN port on the BovBox TX unit.
3. Connect Receiver to Display: Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT1 port on the BovBox RX unit. Connect the other end of this HDMI cable to the HDMI input port of your display device (e.g., TV, projector, monitor).
4. Verify Connection: After connecting both units and ensuring they are powered on, wait a few seconds. The 'LINK' indicator light on both the TX and RX units will flash, indicating successful pairing and signal transmission.
5. Optional: HDMI Loop-Out: If you wish to monitor the source content locally, connect an additional HDMI cable from the LOOP OUT port on the TX unit to a local display.
6. Optional: IR Remote Control: Connect the IR emitter cable to the IR port on the TX unit and position the emitter head near the IR sensor of your source device. Connect the IR receiver cable to the IR port on the RX unit and position the receiver head where your remote control will be used.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the setup is complete and the TX and RX units are successfully linked (indicated by flashing 'LINK' lights), the system operates automatically. The video and audio signal from your source device will be transmitted wirelessly to the connected display(s).

• Power On/Off: Simply connect or disconnect the USB-C power cables to power the units on or off.
• Source Selection: Ensure your display device is set to the correct HDMI input where the receiver is connected.
• IR Control: If the IR cables are connected, point your source device's remote control towards the IR receiver connected to the RX unit. The signal will be relayed to the source device, allowing you to control it remotely.
• Multi-Receiver Usage: If using multiple receivers, ensure all receivers are powered on and within range of the transmitter. Each receiver will display the same content as the primary display connected to the transmitter's loop-out (if used).
