1. USB Type-C Connection (Single Cable Solution):

   If your device (laptop, smartphone, etc.) has a full-function USB Type-C port (supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode and power delivery), you can connect the monitor using a single USB Type-C to Type-C cable. This cable will provide both power and video signal.

   • Connect one end of the USB Type-C to Type-C cable to your device's full-function USB Type-C port.
   • Connect the other end to either of the Type-C ports on the NexiGo monitor.
   • The monitor should automatically power on and display your device's screen.
2. Mini HDMI Connection (Video) + USB Type-C (Power):

   If your device uses HDMI for video output or does not have a full-function USB Type-C port, you will need two cables:

   • Connect one end of the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to your device's HDMI port.
   • Connect the Mini HDMI end to the Mini HDMI port on the NexiGo monitor.
   • Connect the USB Type-A to Type-C power cable to a power source (e.g., the included power adapter, a USB wall charger, or a laptop's USB-A port).
   • Connect the Type-C end of the power cable to one of the Type-C ports on the NexiGo monitor for power.
   • The monitor will power on and display the video signal from your device.
3. Gaming Console Connection (e.g., PS4, Xbox, Switch):

   For gaming consoles, use the Mini HDMI connection for video and a USB Type-C power connection as described above. For Nintendo Switch, ensure the console is powered by its original adapter or a compatible power bank to provide sufficient power to the monitor.
