is on or in use.
Choose a cool and dry location where you would like to place your Multimedia Transmitter. Choose a location that is close to the HDMI device that you would like to transmit to the Patriot Viewpoint. Elevate the Multimedia Transmitter if possible so that it may transmit to the Patriot Viewpoint with ease. Avoid placing this device on the floor or in a small closet/cabinet if possible.
Setup
Included with your Multimedia Transmitter is a power cord and a HDMI cord. You will need to make use of these cords to setup the device. Below is a diagram on how to setup the Multimedia Transmitter.
Connecting the cords
Using
your Patriot Viewpoint
You are now ready to start using your Patriot Viewpoint to view your HDMI signal. The next couple of pages are instructions on how to use the Patriot Viewpoint with the Multimedia Transmitter. Refer to your Patriot Viewpoint owner’s manual for the majority of instructions on how to use the Patriot Viewpoint without the Multimedia Transmitter. Turn on your Patriot Viewpoint. Once it has started up, then simply press the white button on the front of the device to switch it over to the HDMI signal to view the signal from your new Multimedia Transmitter.
Button to switch to HDMI signal (Same button will switch back) You should now see the image from your Multimedia Transmitter on the screen of your Patriot Viewpoint. If you turn your head, then you will notice that the image stays in a fixed position. If you would like to recenter the image, then simply press the Colors button on the Patriot Viewpoint, and the image will re-center. You can adjust the magnification by swiping forward or backwards on the touch pad on the right side of the Patriot Viewpoint. You can also adjust the magnification by voice by saying “Patriot, Make bigger” or “Patriot, Make smaller”. You can adjust the brightness by swiping up or down on the touch pad on the right side of the Patriot Viewpoint. There are no voice commands for brightness at this time.
Problem Solving
If the Patriot Viewpoint is neglecting to show an image following the press of the white button on the front, then the following resources may help to troubleshoot the issue. Make sure the Multimedia Transmitter and the Patriot Viewpoint are not more than 50 feet away from each other and make sure that nothing harmful to reception is obstructing the wireless path from the Multimedia Transmitter and the Patriot Viewpoint. Check if any LED light is visible in the vent holes of the Multimedia Transmitter. If there is no visible LED light in one of the vent holes of the Multimedia Transmitter, then the Multimedia Transmitter is either not getting power or may have an issue and will need to be sent in for repair. Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the Multimedia Transmitter and to the wall outlet. If the connection is secure and there is still no power, you may have a faulty power cord or an internal fault. Also check the following:
- The cord or cable are connected securely.
- The devices are powered-up
- The quality of cable is satisfactory
