3) For all products market in Canada, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to
CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any
tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information
to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of
control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the
technology.
French translation:
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes:
(Pour utilisation de dispositif module)
1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée entre
l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et
2) Cet appareil et son antenne (s) ne doit pas être co-localisés ou fonctionnement en
association avec une autre antenne ou transmetteur.
3) Pour tous les produits vendus au Canada, OEM doit limiter les fréquences de
fonctionnement CH1 à CH11 pour bandes de fréquences 2.4G grâce aux outils de
microprogrammation fournis. OEM ne doit pas fournir d'outil ou d'informations à l'utilisateur
final en ce qui concerne le changement de réglementation de domaine.
Tant que les 3 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires sur
l'émetteur ne seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours responsable
des essais sur son produit final pour toutes exigences de conformité supplémentaires requis
pour ce module installé.
Le dispositif pourrait automatiquement cesser d'émettre en cas d'absence d'informations à
transmettre, ou une défaillance opérationnelle. Notez que ce n'est pas l'intention d'interdire
la transmission des informations de contrôle ou de signalisation ou l'utilisation de codes
répétitifs lorsque requis par la technologie.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the IC authorization is no
longer considered valid and the IC ID can not be used on the final product. In these
circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate IC authorization.
French translation:
NOTE IMPORTANTE:
Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (par exemple pour certaines
configurations d'ordinateur portable ou de certaines co-localisation avec un autre émetteur),
l'autorisation du Canada n'est plus considéré comme valide et l'ID IC ne peut pas être utilisé
sur le produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur OEM sera chargé de réévaluer le
produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'une autorisation distincte au Canada.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be

RTL8812AU-CG module is a Miracast sink device, with Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) for
easy connection. It can be installed to any device that requires a Miracast module for
wireless display.
The module uses a PIN-to-PIN connector to communicate with and obtain power supply
from the host device.
1.1. Meeting RTL8812AU-CG

1.2. System Requirements
System requirements for the module are shown below:
1.2.1. Module Installation
To install the module, the host device should provide a compatible PIN-to-PIN connector and
an HD display.
1.2.2. Compatible Devices
RTL8812AU-CG is compatible with the following devices:
Wi-Fi Certified Miracast™ smartphones, tablets and notebook with Windows 10/8.1
3
Part II. Installing the Dock
1. Connect RTL8812AU-CG module to the host device through the PIN-to-PIN connector.
2. Power on the host device.
3. Verify that the screen below is displayed on the host device’s display.
The RTL8812AU-CG module is ready for use.
4
Part III. Connecting for the First
Time
This chapter explains how to connect RTL8812AU-CG for the first time to the source device.
3.1. Connecting using Miracast on Windows 10
Miracast is a peer-to-peer wireless screen display standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It
allows a portable device like a laptop or smartphone to wirelessly send up to 1080p HD
video and 5.1 surround sound to a compatible display, like an HDTV.
A Miracast compatible Ultrabook™, PC or Tablet device captures the audio and graphics
data and encodes it as H264 video stream for transport. This information is then sent by the
device via Wi-Fi through a Wi-Fi Direct connection to a receiver connected to the display
device. The receiver then decodes the video signal and passes it to the TV display (or other
display device).
This section explains how to connect a device running Windows 10 to RTL8812AU-CG.
1. Click the Notification icon on the task bar or press the shortcut keys, Windows logo
+ A, to open the Action Center, and then select Connect to open the wireless display
receiver list.
5
Note: There are other ways to open the wireless display receiver list:
Click the Start button, and then select Settings > Devices > Connected devices >
Add a device to open the wireless display receiver list.
Press the shortcut keys, Windows logo + K, on your keyboard to display the
wireless display receiver list.
Press the shortcut keys, Windows logo + P, to open the Project menu, and
then select Connect to a wireless display to open the wireless display receiver
list.
2. Select your receiver from the device list.
6
3. Follow any instructions on the display device. You may be required to enter a PIN code.
If a PIN is displayed on the connected display device, you should type this PIN in the
PIN entry box and click Connect to continue.
7
4. The display device displays messages to show the status of the connection.
8
5. The device has connected to the dock. And the device’s screen is displayed on the
HDTV.
Note: Connection method on Windows 8.1 devices is similar. The path is Charm menu >
Devices > Project > Add a wireless display.
3.2. Connecting using Miracast on Android
This section explains how to connect a Miracast™-enabled Android device, such as a
smartphone, a tablet, or a game console, to the Receiver. For the best performance, the
Miracast™ device should be running the latest software.
1. On a Miracast™-enabled Android device, locate and open the Wireless Display
application (check for the application under “Settings”).
Note: The name of the Wireless Display Application depends on the device type and model.
Refer to the device's user manual for more details.
2. The Wireless Display Application scans for available devices. Select your wireless
display device from the device list. You may be required to enter a PIN code, which is
displayed on the display device’s screen.
3. Wait for the device to pair with the Receiver. When it does, the device's screen will be
displayed on the HDTV.
3.3. Connecting using BTLE
Proximity connect is a feature in Windows that enables auto reconnect to ScreenBeam
Wireless Dock when in close range. The Wireless Dock needs to be manually connected the
first time. Then a setting is offered to the user for auto reconnect. If the user checks it, the
device's beacon information will be saved and proximity connect will be enabled for that
9
device in the future. The next time the user walks into close range of the ScreenBeam
Wireless Dock, BTLE beacons will be used to trigger the auto reconnect to the wireless
device.
10
Part IV. Display and Control
Options
This chapter describes the display modes and control options that are supported by the
Receiver.
4.1. Display Mode
The Receiver supports three display modes when connected with a compatible wireless
display application (Intel WiDi or Windows 8.1 Project, for example).
In Windows, press the Windows logo + P keys simultaneously ( + P) to launch the
display options and select the desired display mode from the options.
Duplicate
The Duplicate mode is used to display the same content on both the device's screen and
the HDTV simultaneously.
Extend
The Extend mode creates a single, extended "screen" between the source device and the
HDTV. When in the Extend mode, dragging windows to the right side of the device's screen
displays those windows on the HDTV, while dragging windows to the left of the HDTV
screen displays them back on the device's screen. This mode allows users to display
selected content on the HDTV, while all other windows remain on the device's screen. When
this mode is first selected, the HDTV displays only the Windows desktop.
Second Screen Only
The Second Screen Only mode causes the HDTV to be the only display for the device.
You’ll see everything on the connected screen, and your device’s screen will be blank.
