5. Setup Guide
5.1 Connecting to Raspberry Pi / Mini PCs
- Connect the HDMI cable from your Raspberry Pi's HDMI output to the HDMI input port on the display. If your Raspberry Pi uses a Micro HDMI port (e.g., Pi4/Pi5), use the provided Micro HDMI to HDMI adapter.
- Connect the USB cable from a USB port on your Raspberry Pi to the 'Touch' USB port on the display. This provides power and enables touch functionality.
- Power on your Raspberry Pi. The display should automatically detect the signal and show the desktop.
- For optimal resolution (1024x600), ensure your Raspberry Pi's operating system is configured correctly. Most modern OS versions will auto-detect. If not, refer to the CD or online resources for specific configuration steps (e.g., editing `config.txt` for Raspbian).

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your display, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display / Black screen | No power; Loose HDMI connection; Incorrect input source; OS display settings. | Ensure USB power cable is connected and receiving power. Check HDMI cable connection. Verify the host device (Raspberry Pi/PC) is powered on and outputting video. Adjust display settings on the host device. |
| Touch screen not working | USB touch cable not connected; Incorrect USB port; OS not recognizing touch input. | Ensure the USB cable is connected from the host device to the 'Touch' USB port on the display. Try a different USB port on the host device. For Raspberry Pi, ensure the OS is configured for touch. For macOS, touch is not supported. |
| Incorrect resolution or distorted image | Host device outputting unsupported resolution; Cable issue. | Set the host device's display resolution to 1024x600. If using Raspberry Pi, check `config.txt` settings. Try a different HDMI cable. |
| Screen flickering | Insufficient power; Faulty cable; Interference. | Ensure adequate power supply (e.g., 5V/2A for Raspberry Pi). Try a different HDMI or USB cable. Avoid placing near strong electromagnetic sources. |
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact customer support.
