Troubleshooting
No HDMI signal detected
Verify that both ends of the HDMI cable are securely connected. Ensure the correct input is selected on the display device. Test the HDMI cable directly between the source and display to rule out cable failure.
USB device not recognized
Check that the USB cables are firmly plugged into both the module and the device. Ensure the USB Type-B connection at the faceplate is secure. Try a different USB device to confirm it's not a device-specific issue. Confirm the 2m USB A to B cable and 3m USB extension are correctly connected.
Module is loose in the faceplate
Ensure the module is fully seated and clipped into place. If it persists, check for any obstructions or damage to the module or faceplate slots.
Poor video or data quality
Ensure cables are not kinked or damaged. Check for interference from other electronic devices. For longer runs than the included cables, consider a higher quality or active HDMI cable if signal degradation is suspected.
