procedure. For best performance, the Miracast™ device should be running the latest
software.
1. On a Miracast™-enabled Android device, locate and open the Wireless
Display Application (check for the application under Settings).
Note: The name of the Wireless Display application depends on the device
type and model. Refer to the device’s user manual for more details.

PIN in the PIN text box.
3. Enter the PIN in the PIN text box, then click Connect.
4. Wait for the device to pair with and connect to the Receiver. When it does,
the source device’s screen will be displayed on the monitor.
Tips for Optimal Performance
To get the most out of the Receiver:
sKeep the Receiver in line-of-sight in relation to the source device. This will
help ensure the Receiver receives the best possible signal.
sThe Receiver’s optimal wireless range is within 30 feet of the source device.
However, actual range and effectiveness depends on many factors, including
the amount of existing signal interference and the building materials used in
the surrounding structure.
sAvoid placing the Receiver near other possible sources of interference (such
as electric fans or other devices with electric motors), microwave ovens, and
cordless phones.

Display and
Control Options
This chapter describes the various display modes and control options that are sup-
ported by the Receiver.
Display Mode
The Receiver supports three display modes when connected with a compatible
wireless display application (Intel WiDi or Windows 8.1 Project, for example).
In Windows, press the Windows logo + P keys on the keyboard simultaneously to
launch the display options and select the desired display mode from the options.

Duplicate
The Duplicate mode is used to display the same content on both the device’s screen
and the HDTV simultaneously.
Note: There may be minor delay between the content displayed on the monitor
compared to the source device’s screen. This is due to the current state of wireless
display technology.
Extend
The Extend mode creates a single, extended “screen” between the source device
and the monitor. When in Extend mode, dragging windows to the right side of the
device’s screen displays those windows on the monitor, while dragging windows to
the left of the monitor displays them back on the device’s screen. This mode allows
users to display selected content on the monitor, while all other windows remain
on the device’s screen. When this mode is first selected, the monitor displays only
the Windows desktop.
Second Screen Only
The Second Screen Only mode causes the monitor to be the only display for the
device. All content will be displayed on the monitor; the source device’s screen will
be blank.
