RGBlink ASK nano Starter Set User Manual

Operation steps are as follow:

1. Search RX’s own hotspot in Settings. The WIFI name is usually ASK Nano-XXXXXX, and the initial passwordis12345678 or check the password displayed on the standby interface of RX.
2. Click “Screen Mirroring” in general Settings to project the image of phone to the big screen.
   

Android

Situation 1:

Android phones have two projection modes, Miracast Mode and TX/DLNA/AirPlay Mode. The way to switch between the two modes is to lightly touch the mode switch key on the RX.
In TX/DLNA/AirPlay Mode, an Android phone can only project pictures and videos, and in Miracast mode, anAndroid phone can project the current image of the mobile phone.

TX/DLNA/AirPlay Mode

In this mode, the screen projection method of Android phones is the same as that of iPhone phones, bothof which need to be connected to the hotspot of RX. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Search RX’s own hotspot in Settings. The WIFI name is usually ASK Nano XXXXXX, and the initial passwordis12345678 or check the password displayed on the standby interface of RX.
   

2. Click “Wireless Projection” in general Settings to project the current image to the big screen.

Miracast Mode
The screen projection steps of Android phones in Miracast Mode are as follows:

1. Touch the Mode Switch Key on the RX to enter Miracast Mode. The screen on the RX will show”Miracast Mode”.
2. Search RX’s own hotspot in Settings. The WIFI name is usually ASK Nano-XXXXXX, and the initial passwordis12345678 or check the password displayed on the standby interface of RX.
3. After connection,open “Wireless Projection” in the general list, and select ASK nano fromthe list to project thecurrent image of phone.

Note: When clicking “Wireless Projection”, select “Yes” on WLAN setting, and the mobile phone does not needto be connected to any LAN WIFI.

Situation 2:
Users can select the wiring in the picture below to connect power and RX . If using the wiring, Android phonecanproject the current image of the phone without switching mode.

Operation steps are as follows:

1. Connect RX’s micro USB port and power with 2.4G wireless cable;
2. Search RX’s own hotspot in Settings. The WIFI name is usually ASK Nano XXXXXX, and the initial passwordis12345678 or check the password displayed on the standby interface of RX.
3. After connection,open “Wireless Projection” in the general list, and select ASK nano fromthe list to project thecurrent image of phone.

Examples Demonstration of Screen Projection

When using Windows computer, macOS computer, Android phone and iPhone simultaneously,

1. When using Windows computer to project, plug TX firstly, touch the projection key after successful pairingof
   TX and RX, then the image of computer can be cast to the big screen;

2. When using MAC computer, plug TX firstly, and gently touch the projection key after successful pairingof TXand RX, then the image of MAC computer will replace that of Windows computer,as shown in the picture;
   Note: When Android and iPhone connect to the RX’s hotspot, the RX can only be found in the screen projectionlist after Windows and MAC computer touch the key of TX again to stop projection.If the screen enters thestandby interface, TX exits successfully. If not, touch the key again;

3. Clicking “Wireless Projection” on Android phone,
   ① if it is in TX/DLNA/AirPlay mode,the pictures and videos will be cast to the big screen;
   ② if it is in Miracast mode,the current image of phone will be cast to the big screen;
   ③ if you use 2.4G wireless cable,the current image of phone will be cast to the big screen.(Operations refer to3.3.2

4. Clicking “Screen Mirroring” on iPhone,the image will be cast to the big screen;
   

5. When using Windows computer to cast again,re-plug TX to computer and touch the projection key after successful pairing of TX and RX and the indicator light is static purple,the image of computer will be cast tothebigscreen.

MENU

After RX is connected to big screen, the screen enters homepage,which will be set in English by default. Userscanswitch the language to English in web page menu.

The steps to enter the menu as follow:
1. Select and connect ASK nano RX’s hotspot from the WIFI List in your mobile phone or computer;
