3. Setup

3.1 Connecting to Power

The monitor can be powered in two ways:

1. Using the Power Adapter: Connect the provided power adapter to a power outlet and then to one of the USB-C ports on the monitor.
2. Via USB-C (Single Cable Solution): If your device (e.g., laptop, smartphone) supports full-featured USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery), you can connect it to the monitor using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. This will power the monitor and transmit video/audio.

Note: If your device's USB-C port does not provide sufficient power, or if you are using an HDMI connection, external power via the power adapter is required.

3.2 Connecting to Devices

The monitor offers multiple connectivity options:

• USB-C Connection: For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (video, audio, power). Use the USB-C to USB-C cable.
• HDMI Connection: For devices with an HDMI output (e.g., PC, laptop, gaming console). Use the HDMI to HDMI cable. Connect the monitor to external power if not already powered via USB-C.
• Mini DP Connection: For devices with a Mini DisplayPort output. (Cable not always included, may require separate purchase).
• OTG Port: Connect a keyboard or mouse to the monitor's OTG port for use with compatible devices (e.g., smartphone in desktop mode).
