Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Miracast Video Adapter. Now you can take advantage of this great new technology that lets you watch anything and everything from your mobile device or computer on your big, beautiful, HDTV screen. Benefits of the Miracast Video Adapter Your Belkin Home Network will allow you to:
• Share pictures that are saved or taken with your smart device with friends and family • Play games made for your Android™ device directly on your TV and eliminate strained eyes • Watch movies and videos on your TV that are saved on your smart device directly • Browse the Internet on your TV without the need for a smart TV Placement for Optimal Performance Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your smart device is to the Miracast Video Adapter. Typical indoor operating range for your Miracast Video Adapter is up to 50 feet if no obstructions are in the way. In the same way, your connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Miracast Video Adapter and connected device increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Miracast Video Adapter, performance may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your Adapter’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. If you have concerns about your Miracast Video Adapter’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the connected device to a position between 5 and 10 feet from the Miracast Video Adapter in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist, even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support. Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help. 1. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point) Your wireless router may cause interference with the Miracast Video Adapter, especially if it is a dual-band router. For optimal performance of the Miracast Adapter, if possible, try to place it away from your home Wi-Fi® network. To achieve the best connection for your smart devices with the Miracast Adapter: • Your router transmits radio waves that may interfere with the performance of the Miracast Video Adapter. If possible, ensure that your Miracast Video Adapter is located on or close to the outskirts of your Wi-Fi network. • Try not to place the Miracast Video Adapter (or smart device) near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.
• Disconnecting your smart device from your Wi-Fi network can also improve the video performance where possible. 2. Cordless Phone Placement If the performance of your Miracast Video Adapter is impaired after attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone: • Try moving cordless phones away from the Miracast Video Adapter (or smart device). • Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering. • If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.

Troubleshooting The Adapter won’t fit in my TV due to insufficient room. Due to the dimensions of the Miracast Video Adapter, some customers may have difficulty plugging the Video Adapter into an open HDMI port due to the design of the TV or because it has been mounted to a wall. To resolve this issue, we have provided an HDMI extension cable to place between the TV and the video adapter. The cable will be located in or under the tray inside your product’s box. My TV doesn’t have a USB port or the USB port is too far away to use. Some TVs may not have come with a built-in USB port to power the Miracast Video Adapter or the TV may simply be too big for the 3-foot cable that was provided with your purchase to reach from where it is plugged into the HDMI port. There are two options to choose from that can resolve this issue: You can substitute the provided USB cable with any USB cable, provided that it is a USB A to Micro USB B cable. Or, if a power outlet is close enough, you may want to consider using an AC to USB power adapter capable of supplying 5V and 500mA of power. Power LED does not come ON; Adapter is not working. If the LED indicators are not ON, the problem may be that the Adapter is not connected or installed properly. Verify that the Adapter is plugged firmly into the USB port and power supply, keeping in mind all ports on a TV may not provide power. Finally, ensure the TV is switched on. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, contact Belkin Technical Support. Is my smart device compatible with the Miracast Video Adapter? We have tested the Miracast Video Adapter with the most popular Android devices. However, due to the wide range of Android devices that are available on the market, we weren’t able to test every single product. For a list of devices that we tested, please go to http://belk.in/mira1234. If your device does not appear on the list, consult your device’s manufacturer for compatibility with Miracast. I’m having problems pairing my smart device with the Adapter. First, please follow the steps on page 9 to pair your device. You will want to determine if your smart device is compatible with Miracast. The following link contains a list of devices that were tested at Belkin: http://belk.in/mira1234. If your device does not appear on the list, consult your device’s manufacturer for compatibility with Miracast. If your device does support Miracast, please ensure that your Miracast Adapter’s firmware is up to date. You can check the latest firmware version available here “http://www.belkin.com/support”. The firmware version that is running on the Adapter can be found by accessing the Adapter’s Settings page. For instructions
on how to update the firmware on the Adapter, please reference the “Firmware Upgrade” section on page 24 of this manual. Try disabling Remember Prior Connections in the Miracast Settings page (accessed from your TV), or try changing the Authentication Mode described on page 23. Video is not displaying correctly on the screen/no display. If your device is not mirroring onto your TV properly or there is no display at all, it could either be caused by interference or because the HDCP settings on the Adapter are incorrect for your specific smart device. Try moving your device closer to the Miracast Adapter to see if this alleviates the problem. If you aren’t seeing any display at all, try adjusting the HDCP settings in the Miracast User Interface. Determine which HDCP version your smart device uses by consulting its manual or contacting the manufacturer or try turning HDCP off. By default, HDCP 2.0 is selected. You can also try setting Enable Non-Compliant HDCP to on. Also try removing sources of Wi-Fi interference like Wi-Fi networks and other 2.4GHz & 5GHz devices. Try disconnecting your Miracast device from any Wi-Fi networks before you start Miracast. I can’t navigate the Miracast Video Adapter’s menus using my TV remote. To be able to use the TV’s remote control, both the TV and the remote need to be able to control HDMI CEC. HDMI CEC may also be referred to as any of the following: Anynet+ (Samsung) Aquos Link (Sharp) BRAVIA Link & BRAVIA Sync (Sony) E-link (AOC) Kuro Link (Pioneer) CE-Link & Regza Link (Toshiba) RIHD (Onkyo) RuncoLink (Runco International) T-Link (ITT) HDAVI Control (Panasonic) EZ-Sync (Panasonic) VIERA Link (Panasonic) EasyLink (Philips) NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi) If your brand-name TV was not listed here, please consult your TV/remote user manual or manufacturer. Note: LG SimpLink is not compatible with HDMI-CEC and will not work with the Miracast User Interface.
There is a delay between the smart device and TV. Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 10 to 50 feet. In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the smart device, if possible, to 5 to 10 feet away from Miracast Video Adapter. If you find that range was the problem, try changing the frequency band to the option that isn’t selected and see if that resolves any issues. You may also want to consider taking your smart device off of your home Wi-Fi network while leaving the Wi-Fi radio on. Please also ensure that both the Miracast Video Adapter’s firmware and your smart device’s software are up to date with the latest version.
