MHL Explained
MHL
®
stands for mobile high definition link. It is a protocol and cable that enables mobile devices
(tablets, cell phones…etc) to be displayed and charging at the same time on a TV. This Sceptre TV
supports MHL on HDMI3. If you see your mobile device supporting MHL then you can purchase a
MHL cable and connect one end (usually micro USB) to your mobile device and the other end to
HDMI 3. Turn on both the mobile device and the Sceptre TV and press the MHL button and things
displayed on the mobile device will be displayed on the TV.
Once you see the cell phone screen on the TV you can either use the cell phone itself to control the
screen or use the TV remote’s buttons shown above to control the cell phone screen.
Please Note:
Not every cell phone supports MHL. Please contact your cell phone company for
support information or search MHL on the web for more information.
Not every MHL cable supports your cell phone. There are different versions of MHL
cables for different cell phones. The wrong type of cable will not produce an image on
the TV. Please contact your cell phone company to ensure you have the correct MHL
cable.
The directional button and ENTER buttons on the TV’s remote have limited control over
the cell phone’s OS and the programs within. Some programs will respond to the control,
some will not. For maximum control please use the cell phone’s touch screen instead of
the TV’s remote.
