Setting up the HP Wireless Display Adapter
Step 1: Connecting to power
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
To ensure the correct performance of all display adapter features, connect the display adapter to a
power source using the included USB cable.
1. If you are using an electrical outlet, do the following:
a. Connect the proper plug for your outlet to the power adapter.
b. Connect the USB 2.0 end of the cable to the power adapter, and then plug the power
adapter into an electrical outlet
If you are not using an electrical outlet, connect the USB 2.0 end of the USB cable to a powered
USB port.
2. Connect the micro USB end of the USB cable to the display adapter.
Step 2: Connecting to a display device
▲To connect a display device such as a monitor or projector to the display adapter, determine
whether the device has an HDMI port or a VGA port.
●If your display device has a VGA port, first connect the display adapter to the HDMI-to-VGA
adapter, and then connect the display adapter to the VGA port on the device.
●If your display device has an HDMI port, connect the display adapter directly to the HDMI
port on the device.
Step 3: Connecting to a computer or other electronic device
The HP Wireless Display adapter can run in two modes: Miracast/Intel WiDi and presentation mode
(WiFi). You can connect wirelessly to the display adapter using electronic devices such as computers,
tablets, and smartphones. See your device’s documentation to determine whether the device is Intel
WiDi, Miracast, or WiFi capable.

Problem Possible cause Solution
There is no welcome or home screen
on my remote display.
The display adapter is not connected to
power.
Connect the display adapter to power.
The display adapter is not connected to
AC power correctly.
Use the included USB cable and power
adapter with the localized plug for your
country to make sure that adequate
power is provided to the display
adapter. See Step 1: Connecting to
power on page 2.
The display adapter is not connected to
a USB port with enough power.
Make sure that the USB port provides
at least 5 V and 1 A. See your device’s
documentation for information about the
power provided.
I do not know if the display adapter is
powered.
There is no power light on the display
adapter.
When the display adapter is powered
correctly, the home screen appears on
the remote display.
My Intel WiDi- or Miracast-capable
device does not scan for or locate the
display adapter.
This is usually a problem with the utility
on your device.
Restart either your utility, your device,
or both. See your device’s
documentation if the issue is not
resolved.
If your device has Bluetooth, it could be
conflicting with your utility.
Disable Bluetooth, and then create a
connection.
My browser does not automatically
direct me to the display adapter
website.
This could be because of your browser
settings.
Enter 192.168.16.1 in the URL box to
go the website manually.
I want to start a new session. If you want to start a new session and
are still running your current session,
wait 5 seconds after closing your
current session before starting a new
one. You can start your new session in
a different mode.
If you want to start a new session and
you have closed the utility, locate where
you downloaded the utility and then
open it. If you did not download the
utility, go to the display adapter website.
I cannot connect to the Internet in
presentation mode.
You might need to connect through a
second network adapter.
If you have a second network adapter
on your electronic device, use the
