Safety instructions
• If the mains adapter, cable or device is da-
maged, remove the mains adapter from
the mains socket immediately.
• If the device has been moved from a cold
room to a warm room, wait a while before
connecting it to the power supply. The en-
suing condensation could damage the de-
vice. The product can be plugged in and
operated safely as soon as it reaches room
temperature.
2.3. Set-up location
• Set up and operate all the components on
a stable, level and vibration-free surface to
prevent the device from falling.
• Do not subject the device to knocks and
vibrations. Knocks and vibrations may da-
mage the sensitive electronics.
• Make sure that the device is not in the im-
mediate vicinity of heat sources (e.g. hea-
ters or strong artificial light).

• Do not place naked flames (e.g. lit candles)
on or near the device.
• Make sure that the vents are never covered
so as to ensure that there is always ade-
quate ventilation.
• Do not place any objects on the cable as
these could damage it.
• Position the product and mains adapter at
a minimum distance of approx. 10 cm from
the wall. Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Do not use the product outdoors as it
could be damaged by rain, snow, etc.
• Keep the device at least one metre away
from sources of high-frequency and
magnetic interference (television set,
loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in
order to avoid malfunctions.
• Major changes in temperature or fluctua-
tions in humidity can cause moisture to
build up within the device due to conden-
sation – this can cause an electrical short
circuit. Therefore always wait until the de-

• Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the de-
vice. Do not use chemical solutions and
cleaning products because these may da-
mage the device’s surface and/or inscrip-
tions.
2.6. Power supply
• To disconnect the power supply to the de-
vice or to isolate the device entirely from
voltage sources, disconnect the device
from the mains completely by removing
the USB cable.
• For extra safety, we recommend using an
overvoltage protector to prevent the de-
vice from being damaged as a result of
power surges or lightning strikes.
• Do not use the device during thunders-
torms. There is a risk of damage from
lightning. Disconnect the device from
the mains completely during a thunders-
torm by removing the USB cable from the
power supply.

3. Notes on conformity
This device satisfies the basic requirements and rele-
vant regulations of the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/
EC (Commission Regulation 1275/2008). However, due
to the intended use of the device (continuous provi-
sion of an access point in the Wi-Fi network), a standby
function in accordance with the Ecodesign Directive is
not required. If the device is not going to be used for a
long period, disconnect it from the mains to save en-
ergy.

About Miracast
4. About Miracast
Miracast is a peer-to-peer standard (direct connection
of one device to another) which uses the Wi-Fi Direct
device-to-device connection to transfer screen content
(with sound) from one device to another.
For this purpose, both devices must support Wi-Fi Di-
rect and the Miracast standard. Most new-generation
television sets (and projectors, or similar) already sup-
port the Miracast standard. If your television does not
support Miracast, you can connect it with the Zoom-
Box in order to transfer video content via Miracast.
4.1. Miracast on Android
smartphones/tablets
Miracast has been supported on Android devices since
Android Version 4.2 (Jelly Bean). All higher versions of
Android also use the Miracast standard. You will find
the relevant function in the Android system settings.
NOTE
For information on the display function of
your smart device, please refer to the corres-
ponding operating instructions.

About Miracast
EN
DK
G
N
U
Some manufacturers use other names for the screen
projection, such as“Wireless Display”(Motorola), or
have developed their own standards which are no-
netheless compatible with the Miracast function (for
example,“Screen Mirroring”(Samsung)). Some smart
devices do not support the Miracast function even un-
der Android Version 4.2 and higher, as the hardware
does not support Wi-Fi Direct.
To find out whether your smart device supports Mira-
cast, go to www.medion.com/ZoomBox and follow the
step-by-step instructions.
Overwriting Android stock kernel and a resulting in-
crease of the flash counter (rooted Android device) will
generally lead to Miracast malfunctions.
4.2. Miracast on Windows PCs
Microsoft Windows supports Miracast as of Windows
8.1. The requirements are as follows: The graphics card
on the Windows PC must support Miracast, and the PC
must be equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter that supports
Wi-Fi Direct.
Under Windows 7 and Windows 8, Miracast can be
used through Intel’s WiDi technology if the PC has a
corresponding Intel chipset, graphics card and Wi-Fi
driver as well as the Intel WiDi software installed.
