6. Precautions

• Before use, please ensure that your host device's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and Power Delivery (PD) functions.
• When connecting a phone/tablet to two AR glasses simultaneously, always connect a PD power source to the dock first to ensure stable device connection and compensate for potential power output limitations from the mobile device.
• The USB-C PD port on the dock supports only power input to charge the host device and power the dock itself. It does not support data transfer.
• Use a 100W PD charger for optimal performance. The power is allocated as approximately 87W for the laptop and 13W for the hub.
• When connecting the HUB to a Nintendo Switch, please use the power adapter that comes with the Switch or a power adapter with 45W or higher.
• Do not expose the device to humid or high-temperature environments for extended periods to avoid damage.
• When connecting multiple high-power devices simultaneously, ensure the use of a power adapter with sufficient wattage to prevent power instability.
• To prolong the device lifespan, avoid frequently plugging and unplugging cables.
• Using a USB-C extension cable with the dock may affect signal transmission and is not recommended.

7. Troubleshooting

Q: Why are my AR glasses/monitors not displaying anything?

A: Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). Verify that the TC520 is powered by a sufficient PD charger, especially when connecting two displays. Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure.

Q: Why can't my MacBook achieve triple-screen extended display when connected to multiple monitors?

A: Due to macOS not supporting MST (Multi-Stream Transport) technology, when multiple monitors are connected, only mirroring (AAA) display or mirroring the same extended screen (ABB) display is possible. Triple-screen extended mode is not supported.

Q: My device is not charging or charging slowly when connected to the dock.

A: Ensure you are using a PD charger of at least 100W connected to the TC520's PD input port. Check if your host device supports PD charging via its USB-C port. For Nintendo Switch, use its original adapter or a 45W+ PD charger.

Q: The video output is unstable or flickering.

A: Ensure all connections are firm. Try using a different USB-C cable for your AR glasses/monitors. Make sure your host device's drivers are up to date. Ensure adequate power supply to the dock.

9. User Tips

• Gaming Console Compatibility: The TC520 is confirmed to work with Nintendo Switch (including Switch 2, firmware 21.0.0) and Steam Deck for two-player gaming. Ensure your console's USB-C port supports video output.
• Power for AR Glasses: If your AR glasses require power from the Type-C video output, ensure the total power draw does not exceed the dock's capabilities. While the dock provides power, specific power requirements for individual glasses should be checked.
• Optimal Performance: Always use a dedicated power adapter for the TC520 when connecting multiple displays or power-hungry devices to ensure stable performance and prevent power-related issues.
