7. Troubleshooting

  • No Signal on TV:
    Ensure the adapter is correctly plugged into the HDMI port and powered via the USB-C cable. Select the correct HDMI input channel on your TV. Try a different HDMI port or USB power source.
  • Connection Issues:
    If using Direct Connect mode, ensure your device's screen mirroring function is active and selecting the correct adapter name. If using DLNA mode, verify the adapter is connected to your Wi-Fi router and your device is on the same network. Try restarting both your device and the adapter.
  • Lag or Choppy Video:
    Ensure the adapter is within the recommended 65ft (20m) range of your device. Minimize interference from other wireless devices. If using DLNA mode, ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and has good signal strength. The adapter supports 5G WiFi for better performance.
  • No Audio:
    Check the audio output settings on your source device and ensure the TV/monitor volume is up.
  • Cannot Cast Certain Apps (iOS/MacBook):
    Some streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Prime Video) use HDCP protection, which prevents mirroring on iOS/MacBook devices. This is a content protection feature and not a defect of the adapter.
  • Factory Reset:
    If you encounter persistent issues, you can restore factory settings by holding the Function Button for 15 seconds.

8. Maintenance

  • Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
