4. Power Supply & LED Behavior
The Transmitter can be powered in multiple ways. Always use the LED as your guide:
- HDMI Power (Default Mode)
Many HDMI ports supply enough current to power the TX.- LED blinks during pairing → turns solid blue when linked.
- If LED remains OFF → connect the included USB-C power cable.
- USB Power via Laptop / Device
Connect the included USB-C cable from TX to any USB-A port on your laptop or PC.- If your laptop has only USB-C ports, use the included USB-C to USB-A adapter.
- LED will blink while pairing → turns solid blue when connected.
- USB-C to HDMI Adapter Option
When using a USB-C to HDMI adapter (with laptops, tablets, or phones), the adapter often supplies enough power for the TX.- In many cases, you do not need the separate USB-C power cable.
IMPORTANT: Powering on via USB-C does NOT guarantee video output. Your device must support DisplayPort/HDMI Alt-Mode. Some phones and tablets only provide power — not video. Always confirm compatibility before use.
5. Setup Instructions
Step 1: Connect the Receiver (RX)
• Plug the RX into an available HDMI input on your TV, projector, or monitor.
• Power the RX using the included USB-C cable → connect to a wall adapter or a powered USB port on your TV.
• Wait for the RX LED to turn SOLID BLUE — this means it’s ready.
Step 2: Connect the Transmitter (TX)
• Plug the TX into your source device’s HDMI port.
• If needed, use one of the included adapters (USB-C, Mini HDMI, or Micro HDMI).
• Check the TX LED:
- BLINKING → Pairing in progress
- SOLID BLUE → Link established
- OFF → Connect the included USB-C power cable (use USB-C to USB-A adapter if your power source is USB-A)
Step 3: Manual Pairing (If Needed)
• TX and RX auto-pair when powered on.
• If pairing fails:
- Hold the TX pairing button for about 3 seconds until the LED begins blinking.
- Wait 10–15 seconds until the LED turns SOLID BLUE.
• Your connection is now active.
Tip: Ensure your TV or projector is turned on and set to the correct HDMI input channel.

Video present, but no audio | Source device audio settings disabled | Enable HDMI audio output in your device’s sound settings. On Windows/macOS, select “CR4” as default playback device. |
Lag or stutter | Wireless interference or distance | Move TX and RX closer together. Remove metal objects, thick walls, or other 5GHz devices (e.g., routers, microwaves). |
