1. Power: Press to turn ON/OFF the system.
2. Input: Press to select input source (1/2/3).
3. ID: Press to use for pairing the system or changing operating mode
Pairing
Pairing is performed to establish a wireless link between the Local Unit and Remote Unit. The systems are paired at the factory so
only press the “ID” buttons if the system doesn’t link up properly on their own.
Press the Local Unit “ID” button for 4 seconds, then the Remote Unit “ID” button for 4 seconds to pair the system.
Unicast vs. Broadcast Modes
The ST-WLHDMI-30M can be set to transmit a video signal to one Remote Unit (Unicast Mode) or multiple Remote Units
(Broadcast Mode).
Press the ID button for more than 15 sec. to switch to a different mode (Broadcast/Unicast).
•
•
Green power LED means Unicast mode is set (factory default)
Red power LED means Broadcast Mode is set.
Note: It is not necessary to press the Local Unit and Remote Unit's ID button at the same time.
Broadcast Mode Limitations
Note: Due to the nature of the transmission, the Broadcast mode has no uplink and therefore no bi-directional
communication between Local Unit and Remote Unit. This results in the following limitations:
• HDCP protected content will not be transmitted.
• CEC and EDID repeater functionalities are not supported.
• Broadcast mode is not HDCP compliant.
4. IR sensor: For receiving the IR signal from the remote control.
5. Power LED: The LED will illuminate when power is ON.
6. Link LED: When the devices are searching for each other, the Link LED will flash rapidly. While a link is being established, the
Link LED will flash slowly. Once the link is established the Link LED stays ON solid.
7. Input indicator: The LED will illuminate to indicate which input source is selected.

Problem
Solution
•
•
•
•
•
Check to see if the correct AC adapter is being used-
Power LED does not illuminate
when power is ON.
5VDC 2.6A
Check all power connections are plugged-in correctly
Push the power buttons to turn ON Local Unit and Remote Unit.
The Link LED will flash while the unit is pairing or learning. After pairing is complete
and the Local Unit and Remote Unit are linked, the LED will illuminate solid.
After powering on Local Unit
and Remote Unit, the Link
LED is flashing rapidly / slowly
without image.
•
•
•
If the LED keeps flashing rapidly for more than 3 minutes, try pairing the devices by
pushing the ID buttons on each unit for 4 seconds.
If the LED keeps flashing slowly for more than 3 minutes, check the Local Unit input
selection, make sure the video source is ON and make sure the display is ON.
The Link LED is illuminating
consistently without image display
or unexpected image display.
Check if the video source’s timing is supported by the device. The ST-WLHDMI-30M
supports up to 1080i @ 60Hz and 1080p @ 24/30Hz. Make sure the video source is
sending acceptable timing to the extender and display. Also make sure the display can
accept that timing.
•
•
•
Check if both the video source and display are HDCP/CEC compliant.
Check if display mode is properly selected.
Check if both the video source and display cables are securely connected
Input LED will not illuminate
When linking the first time, the input LED will not illuminate unless the display is connected
and powered ON. Make sure the display is connected and powered.
Local Unit and Remote Unit have
different colors on their Power
LED
Local Unit and Remote Unit are in different operating modes. Green indicates Unicast
Mode, Red indicates Broadcast Mode. Press the ID button of the unit that is set for the
wrong mode for 15 seconds to change it to the desired mode.
