Setup
- Mounting the Light Bar: Carefully place the ScreenBar Plus on top of your computer monitor. The weighted clip design ensures stability without requiring screws or adhesives. Ensure the light bar is centered for optimal illumination.
- Connecting USB Power: Connect the USB power cable from the ScreenBar Plus to a USB port on your computer or a USB adapter. The light bar requires a power supply of 5V/1A. For optimal performance, a 5V/1.3A or higher power supply is recommended.

Maintenance
To maintain the performance and appearance of your BenQ ScreenBar Plus, regularly wipe the light bar and desktop dial with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Light Flashing or Abnormal Operation
If the light flashes or operates abnormally, it is usually due to an insufficient power supply. Ensure your USB port or adapter provides at least 5V/1.3A. We recommend using a power supply with an output voltage of 5V and a current of 1.5A or above for optimal lamp performance. Avoid using USB extension cables with the ScreenBar Plus, as this can also cause issues.
