Helpful tips
If you ever have any problems using Media Link HD, here
are some things you can do to set things right again.
Still seeing a blank screen after connecting Media
Link HD to your TV?
Check if the HDMI cable is properly connected to the device
and to your TV.
Check if you have selected the correct HDMI input as your
TV’s input setting.
Can’t connect Media Link HD to your Wi-Fi router?
Check if your phone has the correct network connection.
1. On the Home screen, slide open the Notifications panel,
and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Wi-Fi, and check if Wi-Fi is enabled.
3. Check if you are connected to your home network.
Be sure that you are not trying to connect to a network that
blocks IP multicasting or requires a security certificate.
Make sure your phone and Media Link HD are close enough to
a Wi-Fi router. Also, try to avoid areas that have a lot of noise
or interruption from surrounding wireless signals.

What does that LED color mean?

state.
An alternating blue and red light indicates that Media Link HD
is being configured by a phone.
A flashing red light indicates that Media Link HD is starting up.
A solid red light indicates that Media Link HD is in standby
state.
Can’t connect to your Wi-Fi router and Media Link HD
at the same time?
Media Link HD isn’t compatible with DFS (Dynamic Frequency
Selection). In the 5 GHz mode, it is compatible with Band 1
(5.150 - 5.250 GHz) and Band 4 (5.725-5.850 GHz). If your
Wi-Fi router has been set up using DFS, Media Link HD
won’t be able to connect to your Wi-Fi router. Instead, it will
directly connect to your phone and prevent your phone from
connecting to the Wi-Fi router.
If you still want Media Link HD to connect to your Wi-Fi router,
refer to the documentation that comes with your Wi-Fi router
for other methods of setting up a Wi-Fi router.
