Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Teamgee 12-inch Laptop Screen Extender:

1. Identify Your Laptop Ports: Determine which ports are available on your laptop (USB-C, HDMI, USB-A). This will dictate the connection method.
2. Connect the Monitor:
   • Two Full-Function USB-C Ports: Use two USB-C to USB-C cables (one for each screen).
   • One USB-C + HDMI Available: Connect one USB-C to USB-C cable for one screen. For the second screen, use an HDMI to HDMI cable and a USB-A to USB-A cable.
   • HDMI + USB-A Only: Connect one HDMI to HDMI cable and one USB-A to USB-A cable for each screen. A docking station or hub may be necessary if your laptop lacks sufficient ports.
3. Adjust Display Settings: Once connected, use your laptop’s display settings to extend or mirror the screens. You can also adjust brightness, volume, and screen rotation (up to 210°) using the built-in controls on the extender.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal:
  • Ensure all cables (USB-C, HDMI, USB-A) are securely connected to both the extender and your laptop.
  • Disconnect and reconnect the cables. If using HDMI + USB-A, connect the USB-A cable first.
  • Verify your laptop's display settings are configured to detect and extend/mirror the displays.
• Dim or Low Brightness:
  • Adjust the backlight setting on the extender, not just the general brightness.
  • If possible, power the monitor externally using a compatible power adapter (not always included, check product packaging) to ensure sufficient power delivery for maximum brightness.
• Monitor Not Powering On:
  • Confirm all power and data cables are securely connected.
  • If using HDMI + USB-A, ensure the USB-A cable is connected before the HDMI cable to provide power.
  • Try connecting to a different USB-C port or using a different power source if available.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Teamgee screen extender, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen cleaner to wipe the display surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the extender compactly and store it in the provided protective bag to prevent scratches and damage.
• Handling: Handle the device with care. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive force to the screens or hinges.
• Cable Management: Keep cables organized and untangled to prevent damage to the connectors and ports.
