Using a Single Type-C Cable (for compatible devices):

For mobile phones and laptops that support Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 (with video output capability), you can connect the monitor using a single Type-C to Type-C cable. This cable will transmit both video signal and power.

Using Mini HDMI and Type-C for Power:

If your device does not support video output via its USB-C port, or if you prefer, use the Mini HDMI cable for video signal and a Type-C to Type-C cable connected to the PD Adapter for power.
