  If your content is removed from the display and the LED indicator of your BenQ Conference System button is blinking red, it may indicate that the wireless connection between the InstaShow Button and InstaShow Host is lost. The InstaShow Host will attempt to restore the Wi-Fi connection automatically. If this fails, unplug the Button from your laptop and try again. Also, ensure the transmission distance is within 8M and without any obstacles to prevent Wi-Fi interference or signal attenuation.

  If your InstaShow Button automatically restarts with BenQ Conference System, it might be due to an insufficient power supply. Ensure you're using USB 3.0 as the power supply. If USB 2.0 is the only option, try reducing power consumption by changing the Picture Quality Mode to Low Power in Web Management.
