Using this Prolink AV cable is a breeze. First, find the Mini DisplayPort on your Apple device, like an iMac or MacBook. Plug one end of the cable into this port. Then, locate the HDMI input on your HDTV or monitor and connect the other end of the cable there. Once connected, turn on both your Apple device and the display device. The audio and video content should start playing on the display. When handling the cable, be gentle with the connectors to avoid damage. Don't pull on the cable too hard. For storage, you can coil it up neatly. Keep it in a dry place away from sharp objects to prevent the outer PVC jacket from getting scratched or cut. Over time, if you notice the cable getting dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean.
