1. Getting Started

With Intel Wireless Display and the Push2TV HD Wireless Adapter, you can connect your laptop
wirelessly to your TV and enjoy and share your personal media collections, latest YouTube
videos, downloaded or streamed movies, music, or a variety of other Internet content from the
comfort of your home.

Intel Wireless Display requires the following:

• Push2TV adapter. The adapter receives Wi-Fi signals from the laptop, translates the

signals into an image, and sends the image to the TV.

• A laptop computer with Intel Wireless Display installed. This manages the connection to

the TV through the adapter.

This chapter provides instructions for using Intel Wireless Display after installation. For help with
installation, see the Push2TV HD Adapter (PTV2000) for Intel Wireless Display Installation
Guide.

cord into an electrical outlet. The HDMI cable connects to the rear panel as shown:

Figure 2. Push2TV HD Wireless Adapter cable connections

Connect either the HDMI cable or the audio/video cable, not both. An HDMI cable will
produce higher quality images than an audio/video cable. An HDMI cable is provided in the
package with the Push2TV adapter. (Audio/video cables can be found at electronics stores.)
If you use an audio/video cable, match the connectors to the correct colors on the adapter
(yellow, white, and red). Connect each cord and cable into its correct input on the TV. (See
your TV owner’s manual if necessary.) Once the adapter is plugged in, make sure the cords
and cables are pushed all the way into their correct input positions.

Using the composite video cable (the yellow input on the audio/video cable) might cause the
TV image to be off-center. Consult the TV owner’s manual for image adjustment.

Opening Intel Wireless Display on the Laptop

To open Intel Wireless Display, click the Windows Start icon on the laptop’s taskbar. Type
Intel Wireless Display into the search field. In the search results click Intel Wireless
Display. If an auto-connect adapter is set up, the application tries to connect to it (see Setting

Up Autoconnect on page 13).

Some laptops have a button or key that starts Intel Wireless Display. This key is located in
different places depending on the laptop. It is usually on or around the keyboard. The key has
a small version of this symbol.

During the initial set up you might see a firewall alert message, and the license agreement
displays.

• Firewall alert. In the initial set up, a firewall might block Intel Wireless Display, and a

firewall alert message might be displayed. If this happens, make sure to allow access for
both private and public networks. For firewall help, see Firewall Issues on page 21 or see
your firewall’s user manual.

• License agreement. After reading and agreeing to the license agreement, click the I

agree to the terms of this license button and proceed to the next screen. If you do not

agree to the terms of the license, click the I do not agree button. You will not be able to
continue and the application will close.

At this point, the TV status reads Ready for connection.

Scanning and Detecting Adapters

When you open the Intel Wireless Display
application, it scans for a Push2TV HD Wireless
Adapter. The status shows Scanning for adapters.

Note: If you set up auto connect, the

application automatically tries to connect to
your adapter when it is detected. See Setting

Up Autoconnect on page 13.

If the application does not automatically begin
scanning, click the Scan for available adapters
button.

Chapter 1. Getting Started | 7

Push2TV HD TV Adapter for Intel® Wireless Display User Manual

After the scan is complete, any adapters in range are displayed in the Detected adapters
field. If your adapter is not detected, click the Scan for available adapters button. If your
adapter still does not appear, see the

The Detected adapters headings are Type, Name, ID, Model, and Signal.

• Type. If this is a first-time connection, the circle on the TV icon is gray. If the connection

has been used previously, the icon circle is orange.

• Name. This refers to the adapter and is initially set by the adapter manufacturer. If this is

the initial setup, you can rename the adapter in a following step.

• ID. If the default name has not been changed, use the ID to distinguish multiple entries

and find your adapter.

• Model. This is the adapter manufacturer and product model name.

• Signal. The number of bars represents signal strength. The scale ranges from one bar

(weakest signal) to five bars (strongest signal). The bars turn from green to yellow if the
signal strength falls below three bars.

There Are No Adapters Detected on page 20.

Connecting to the Adapter

1. On the laptop, in the Detected adapter screen, click the adapter and then click the

Connect button. If more than one adapter is detected, use the ID to find the correct

adapter.

• The laptop and TV screens both show Connecting...

Note: If the laptop status shows Connecting... and the TV screen shows

Ready for Connection, click the Cancel connect button and try
connecting again. If this does not work, the connection might be
blocked by a firewall. See Firewall Issues on page 21.

• After the laptop connects to the adapter, the TV displays the message Connected.

Please wait. If this message is displayed more than 1 minute, the connection attempt

failed. Click the Disconnect button and try connecting again.

• After a successful connection, the laptop and TV screen display the same images,

and your adapter is displayed in the Connected adapter field. You are now ready to
enjoy and share your favorite pictures, videos, and music.

2. If you want to move Intel Wireless Display out of the display area, use the minimize button

instead of the close button.

• To disconnect from the adapter, click the Disconnect button.

• See Setting Up Autoconnect on page 13 for information about automatically

connecting to an adapter after the first connection has been made.
