6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Display Modes

The hub supports various display configurations depending on your operating system:

• Windows: Supports both Extended Mode (up to three external displays, A+B+C) and Mirror Mode (A+A).
• Mac OS: Supports Single Stream Transport (SST) instead of Multi-Stream Transport (MST). This means Mac OS typically supports Mirror Mode for multiple external displays.

Supported resolutions include Dual 4K@60Hz and Single 8K@30Hz. The hub also supports 4K@120Hz, HDR10, and HDCP2.3.

6.2 Data Transfer

Utilize the high-speed USB ports for rapid data transfer:

• USB 3.2 & USB-C Data Ports: Offer speeds up to 10Gbps, allowing you to transfer large files (e.g., 1GB) in seconds.
• USB 3.0 Data Ports: Provide speeds up to 5Gbps.

6.3 Power Delivery (PD)

Connect your laptop's USB-C power adapter to the hub's PD port. The hub supports up to 100W input and delivers up to 85W to your host device, ensuring your laptop stays charged while using multiple peripherals.

6.4 SD/TF Card Reader

Insert your SD or TF memory cards into the dedicated slots. The hub supports simultaneous reading of both SD and TF cards with transfer speeds up to 104MB/s, making it convenient for photographers and content creators.

6.5 RJ45 Ethernet

Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port for a stable and reliable wired network connection, supporting speeds up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). This is ideal for situations where Wi-Fi is unstable or unavailable.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the hub. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Storage: Store the hub in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the integrated USB-C cable excessively to prevent damage.

8. Troubleshooting

No display output:

Ensure the HDMI cables are securely connected to both the hub and the monitor. Check your computer's display settings to ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly. Verify that your host device's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode).

USB devices not recognized or slow data transfer:

Ensure the USB devices are properly plugged in. Try connecting the hub to a different USB-C port on your host device. If connecting high-power devices, ensure the hub is connected to an external power source via the PD port. Some devices may require direct connection to the host for full speed.

Laptop not charging via PD port:

Verify that your USB-C power adapter is connected to the hub's PD port and is functioning correctly. Ensure your laptop supports charging via its USB-C port. Check the power output of your adapter; it should be sufficient for both the hub and your laptop.

No Ethernet connection:

Check if the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the hub and your router/modem. Verify network settings on your computer. Try restarting your router/modem and your computer.

Hub feels warm during use:

It is normal for the hub to generate some heat during operation, especially when multiple ports are in use or when charging. The aluminum alloy shell is designed for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure adequate ventilation around the hub.

10. User Tips

• For optimal performance, especially when connecting multiple high-bandwidth devices (e.g., external displays, external hard drives), ensure the hub is powered via its PD port.
• If experiencing display issues with Mac OS, remember that it typically supports Mirror Mode for multiple external displays due to SST limitations.
• To maximize data transfer speeds, use USB 3.2/USB-C 10Gbps ports for compatible devices.
• Keep the hub on a flat, open surface to allow for better heat dissipation, especially during prolonged use.
