1. Ensure that the wireless adapter is connected to your display and that the display is powered on.
2. On the display, go to Settings () > Network > WLAN Hotspot ().
   a. Enable Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.
   
   b. Tap Set up Wi-Fi Hotspot , then set Band to 5 GHz.
   
3. Launch the InstaShare 2 app on the display.

   RP02 series models and VC01A only support pairing through the USB Type-A port.

Sharing your screen

Once a Button is paired, you can use it with any device with a full-functioning USB Type-C port (with DP alt mode or Thunderbolt 3).

Ensure that WLAN hotspot is still enabled on your display. The Button will not be able to connect to the display if the display is set to normal Wi-Fi mode.

To start a presentation:

1. Insert a Button into your personal device’s USB Type-C port.
   

   The Button will not work using the supplied Type-C-to-Type-A adapter. The adapter is only for the pairing process.

3. When the LED turns solid green, press the present key to begin presenting.
   
   Your personal device’s screen will be shared on the BenQ smart display and the LED on the Button will turn solid blue.
