8. Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Screen: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a screen-cleaning solution. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.

  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the monitor in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or with the Smart Cover for protection.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the monitor to extreme temperatures, humidity, or dusty environments.

Issue: Screen signal is poor or flickers.
  • Ensure you are using the power adapter that came with the monitor. Other adapters may provide insufficient voltage.

Issue: No display when connected via Type-C.
  • Check if the Type-C port on your PC/Laptop whether it supports audio and video signal transmission (Thunderbolt 3 or DisplayPort Alternate Mode). If not, you will need a "Type-C to HDMI" adapter for signal transmission.

Issue: Monitor enters power save mode automatically.
  • The monitor turns on in the default power save mode. Note that there is no save function in sleep mode; you need to close it manually if you wish to disable power save.
Issue: No touchscreen functionality.
  • This portable monitor does not have touchscreen functionality.
Issue: Monitor does not charge.
  • The portable monitor has no built-in battery and cannot be charged. It requires continuous power supply via the power adapter or a compatible USB-C connection.
