Operating Instructions

Once connected, your display should automatically detect the signal from your source device. If not, you may need to adjust display settings on your computer or device.

Display Modes: Most operating systems allow you to choose how your external display functions:
- Duplicate/Mirror: Shows the same content on both your source device and the external display.
- Extend: Extends your desktop across both displays, allowing for more workspace.
- Second Screen Only: Displays content only on the external display, turning off your source device's screen.
Resolution Settings: To achieve 4K@60Hz, ensure your source device and display both support this resolution and refresh rate. You can adjust display resolution settings in your operating system's display preferences.
Audio Output: Audio is typically transmitted through the HDMI cable. You may need to select the HDMI display as your audio output device in your operating system's sound settings.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your j5create JCC153G cable:

Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling or bending the cable sharply, as this can damage internal wires.
Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cable and connectors. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
Handling: Always grasp the connector head when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
Protection: Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable or exposing it to pets that might chew on it.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, try the following solutions:

Problem	Solution
No display on external monitor.	Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Verify the display is powered on and set to the correct HDMI input. Check your source device's display settings to ensure the external display is detected and enabled (e.g., Extend, Duplicate). Test the cable with another USB Type-C device or HDMI display if available. Ensure your USB Type-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
Low resolution or incorrect refresh rate.	Confirm your source device and display both support 4K@60Hz. Adjust the display resolution and refresh rate in your operating system's display settings. Update graphics drivers on your source device.
No audio from external monitor.	Check your source device's sound settings and ensure the HDMI display is selected as the audio output device. Verify the monitor's volume is not muted or set too low.
Intermittent signal or flickering.	Ensure all connections are firm. Try a different HDMI input port on your display. Reduce the cable length if using an extension, or try a different cable if possible to rule out cable damage. Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources nearby.
