Once the hub is set up, it operates as an extension of your device's ports.

• USB-A Ports: Use these ports to connect standard USB devices such as external hard drives, USB flash drives, keyboards, mice, and other USB peripherals. Data transfer speeds will depend on the connected device and the hub's specifications.
• HDMI Port: Connect an HDMI cable from this port to an external display (monitor, TV, projector). Your operating system's display settings can then be used to configure the external display (e.g., extend desktop, duplicate display).
• USB-C Power Delivery (PD) Port: This port is for power input only. Connect your laptop's original USB-C power adapter to this port to charge your laptop through the hub. This port does not support data transfer.
