Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the performance and appearance of your WPD-900 kit:

• Gently wipe the surfaces of the transmitter and receiver with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

• Ensure all ports are free of dust and debris. Use a can of compressed air if necessary, holding it upright.

Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store the WPD-900 kit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

No Signal on Display

• Check Connections: Ensure the HDMI receiver is securely plugged into the display and the USB power cable is connected and receiving power.

• Transmitter Connection: Confirm the USB-C transmitter is firmly connected to your source device and that your device's display output is active.
• Reboot Devices: Disconnect and reconnect both the transmitter and receiver, and restart your source device and display.

Intermittent Connection or Lag

• Minimize Interference: Keep the WPD-900 away from other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) that might cause interference.
• Power Source: Ensure the receiver is receiving stable power. Try a different USB power source if available.

Casting Not Initiating
