3.4. Pairing (If Necessary)

The units are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is needed, follow these steps:

1. Ensure both TX and RX units are powered on.
2. On the Receiver (RX) unit, press and hold the reset button for 7 seconds until a "Ready to Pair" message appears on the display.
3. On the Transmitter (TX) unit, press and hold the button for 7 seconds. The TX unit will flash, then stay solid, then flash again for 5-20 seconds.
4. A "Pairing" message and a QR code will appear on the display. The TX state will change to "V".
5. Wait for 5-10 seconds for the pairing process to complete.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Basic Operation

Once the Transmitter and Receiver are connected and powered on, they will automatically establish a wireless connection. The HDMI signal from your source device will be transmitted to your display device. The system is designed for plug-and-play functionality, requiring no additional software or complex configurations.

4.2. Using the Loop Out Function

The HDMI local output on the Transmitter (TX) allows you to connect a local display. This is useful for monitoring the content being transmitted wirelessly without any latency, as the signal is directly passed through before wireless transmission.

4.3. Multi-Receiver Configuration

The system supports connecting one Transmitter (TX) to multiple Receivers (RXs). The maximum supported configurations are:

• 1 TX to 1 RX: Up to 500m (1640ft)
• 1 TX to 2 RXs: Up to 400m (1312ft)
• 1 TX to 3 RXs: Up to 210m (985ft)
• 1 TX to 4 RXs: Up to 190m (820ft)
• Maximum 1 TX to 6 RXs.

4.4. Dynamic Frequency Adjustment

The Elalight Wireless HDMI system features dynamic frequency adjustment, automatically switching to less congested 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz channels. This reduces interference from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other devices, ensuring stable transmission quality without manual frequency selection.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Elalight Wireless HDMI Transmitter and Receiver, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the units. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols, as they may damage the components.
• Storage: When not in use, store the units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Handle the units with care to prevent physical damage. Avoid dropping or subjecting them to strong impacts.
• Antennas: Ensure antennas are not bent or damaged. Replace if necessary to maintain signal quality.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Elalight Wireless HDMI system, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• No Signal/Black Screen:
  • Ensure both Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) units are powered on and their indicator lights are active.
  • Verify that HDMI cables are securely connected to both the source and display devices.
  • Check if the display device is set to the correct HDMI input.
  • Confirm that the TX and RX units are successfully paired (refer to Section 3.4).
  • Reduce the distance between the TX and RX units and ensure there are no significant obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal structures) that could interfere with the signal.
  • Try connecting the HDMI source directly to the display to confirm the source and display are functioning correctly.
• Intermittent Signal/Flickering:
  • Adjust the position of the antennas on both units for better signal reception.
  • Minimize interference from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) by repositioning the units or the interfering devices.
  • Ensure the power supply is stable and sufficient for both units.
• No Audio:
  • Check the audio settings on your source device and display device.
  • Ensure the HDMI cables support audio transmission.
• Units Desyncing / Losing Connection:
  • This can occur due to signal interference or exceeding the effective transmission range. Try moving the units closer or removing obstacles.
  • Perform a re-pairing procedure as described in Section 3.4.
  • Ensure both units are receiving stable power.
