2 Positioning

2.1 Positioning the A/V Adapter

The Wireless USB A/V Adapter is designed for two possible mounting options:

 Simple table placement – the Audio/Video Base (A/V Base) is placed on a flat horizontal

surface, and the Device Adapter is connected at 90 degrees to the base so that it is

vertical.

 Vertical mounting – the A/V Base is fastened to a wall, a projector, or behind a display

screen, and the Device Adapter is connected so that it is flat with the mounting surface,

with the Device Adapter pointing upwards.

Note: For best performance, it is recommended to always position the Device Adapter

vertically so that it is pointing upwards.

Page 5

Wireless USB to HDMI & VGA Adapter with AUDIO User Guide

2.2 Positioning the PC Adapter

To achieve best performance it is recommended to position the PC Adapter in the upright

position.

Figure 1: PC in working mode - PC Adapter in upright position

When the laptop is not in use, the PC Adapter can be rotated 90 degrees for storage, as seen in

the following illustration:

Figure 2: Laptop inactive - PC adapter in horizontal position for storage.

Display drivers and application are installed.

6. Choose your geographic region to comply with your local radio regulations. This setting

can be changed if needed once the software is installed.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions, and proceed by clicking Next> when prompted, or by

approving authorization requests to continue the installation.

Page 8

3.1 Connect the PC Adapter to the PC

1. Connect the Wireless USB PC Adapter to a high speed PC USB port. The system will

automatically detect and install the drivers for the connected PC Adapter

2. System Tray icon turns red to indicate that the PC Adapter (Host) is ready to

connect to any paired device in range

3.2 Connect the A/V Adapter

1. Attach the A/V Adapter to the remote display device (TV/Projector/Monitor), and ensure

the PC (with PC Adapter attached) is within 3 meter distance from the A/V Adapter for

the initial connection. Ensure the two adapters have clear line-of-sight. Connect the

provided power supply to the A/V Base power receptacle.

Note: The PC Adapter and Device Adapter in this set are already paired and do not require

performing a pairing procedure. If you should need to perform pairing manually for

any reason (e.g. connecting to a new host PC Adapter, or adding a Device Adapter

that was not purchased in a set), please refer to Appendix B: Pairing Procedure

2. Wait for the System Tray icon to turn green , indicating that a wireless connection

with the A/V Adapter has been established. The Display icon is also displayed as

soon as a connection is established and the Display drivers are active.

Note: If you do not see the icon changing to green, or do not see the Display icon, please

see Appendix A: Troubleshooting Help for suggestions.

3.2.1 Connecting Audio

The following options can be used to connect an Audio Output Device to the A/V Adapter:

Using the HDMI connector. Connect the HDMI cable to the A/V Base. Both video and audio

are delivered on the same HDMI cable. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate

HDMI port on the TV/Projector/Monitor.

Using the dedicated 3.5mm port. Connect an audio cable with a 3.5mm (mini-stereo) plug to

the audio jack on the A/V Base. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate audio

input jack on the audio device.

Note: The audio output is activated automatically. If you need to set the audio output device

manually, see Setting Audio Output Device.
