• Loud audio feedback: If connecting to a camera, ensure both the camera's audio output volume and the monitor's volume are reduced or muted before connecting to prevent sudden loud feedback. Adjust volume levels gradually.
• HDMI connection issues: If the monitor does not display video, check that the HDMI cable is securely connected at both the camera and monitor ends. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. If issues persist, try a different HDMI cable.
• Wobbly cold shoe mount: If the included cold shoe mount feels unstable, consider replacing it with a more robust third-party mount for increased stability.
