a) General

•

The unauthorised conversion and/or modiﬁcation of the product is not per-

mitted for safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.

• Any maintenance or repair work may be only performed by an authorised

repair shop.

• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could

become a dangerous plaything for children.

b) Power adapter

• The design of the power adapter complies with Protection Class II. Use

only a standard mains socket as the power source for the power adapter.

The mains socket into which the power adapter is plugged must be easily

accessible.

• Use only the power adapter provided to power the TV adapter.

• Do not pull the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the

cable. Hold it on the sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.

• If the power adapter is damaged, do not touch it; there is a danger to life

from electric shock!

First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the power adapt-

er is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove

the safety fuse or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch,

so that the socket is fully disconnected).

You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of

the faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it

any more. Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.

Connection between the computer/notebook and the TV

adapter

For installation, you should also read the instructions of the manufacturer in

English.

It is important to wait for 40 - 60 seconds after switching the TV adapter on.

The TV adapter requires this time to start up. During this time, a connection between

the computer/notebook and the TV adapter is not possible!

After installation of the software, Windows must be restarted so that the

software of the TV adapter is installed and started correctly.

Depending on the settings of the Firewall of your operating system or the

anti-virus software you use, it may be necessary to make additional conﬁgu-

rations before the WLAN connection to the TV adapter can be made.

Generally, there are two different operating modes of the TV adapter:

1. Direct connection between the computer/notebook and the TV adapter

In this mode, the TV adapter works like an independent device. A WLAN router and

other conﬁgurations are not necessary.

Perform a search for available WLAN networks with your computer/notebook. The

computer must be set up so that it can be assigned an IP address automatically.

The TV adapter is recognised in the basic setting with the SSID “PC2TVwiﬁ”; con-

nect the computer/notebook with this WLAN network.

2. Logging into the present WLAN

In this mode, the TV adapter works like a normal network device. The connec-

tion between the computer/notebook and the TV adapter is realised via the WLAN

router.

Perform a search for available WLAN connections with your computer/notebook.

The TV adapter is recognised in the basic setting with the SSID “PC2TVwiﬁ”; con-

nect the computer/notebook with this WLAN network.

Start the software “PC2TV” with a double-click as described in the chapter “Oper-

ation”. When the software has found the TV adapter, “PLAY/SETTING” is displayed

instead of “SEARCHING...”. Start the setup program (“SETTING”).

Proceed as described in the English manufacturer’s manual by selecting “STA

Mode” and activating “Enable Station Mode”. Set the SSID and the password of

your WLAN router.

Save the settings and restart the TV adapter (switch off, switch on and wait for

40 - 60 seconds).

Perform a search for available WLAN connections with your computer/notebook

and re-connect the computer/notebook with the “normal” WLAN network of your

router.

Operation

We recommend that you switch off a screensaver that may be activated so

that unnecessary data are not transmitted via the WLAN connection.

Depending on the available WLAN networks in the vicinity of the computer/

notebook or the TV adapter, it may be reasonable to set up a ﬁxed WLAN

channel. This applies especially when you occasionally notice ﬂickering im-

aging or loss of connection.

Try a lower resolution if you notice connection issues. The higher the resolu-

tion, the more data must be transmitted. This places heavy demands on the

WLAN connection.

The image is generated by the main processor of the computer. This is why

the generation of the image uses relatively high processing power. Thus, set

a lower resolution on slower computers. Based on this setting, you can try

to set the next highest resolution and test the image quality or speed (e.g.,

when moving windows).

If not done so already, start the software of the TV adapter by double-clicking on the

software icon (“PC2TV”).

The software will now try to make a connection between the computer/notebook and

the TV adapter (“SEARCHING...”). When the connection is activated, click on “PLAY”.

If a connection cannot be made after 10 seconds (“SEARCHING...” is still displayed),

the Firewall may have to be conﬁgured (or switched off for a test).

Different functions can be accessed in the setup menu of the software (“SETTING”),

e.g., the audio replays can be switched on or off or the data transfer can be optimised

to display the operating system interface or for ﬁlms.

The monitor/TV connected to the TV adapter can also be used as an extended desktop

(“Virtual EXtend”). This function may be required for some notebooks, if problems with

the image occur.

Consider the manufacturer’s English language manual, which can be found

as a PDF on the CD provided.

Connecting USB devices

A USB mouse or USB keyboard can be connected to the single USB port of the TV

adapter.

You can connect a USB hub to the USB port to be able to connect the USB mouse and

the USB keyboard at the same time.

The computer/notebook can then be used as normal.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The product is maintenance-free. Repair or maintenance work must be carried out

by a specialist.

You can use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Dust can be very easily removed with

a soft, clean brush and a vacuum cleaner.

Do not use aggressive chemical or scouring cleaning agents, as this may lead to dis-

colouration or material changes on the surface.
