1. Connect Power (Optional but Recommended): If your laptop requires charging via the docking station, connect a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger (up to 100W) to the docking station's USB-C PD3.0 input port. The docking station will reserve 13W for its own operation, providing up to 87W to your host device.
2. Connect to Host Device: Use the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the docking station's 'USB-C Host' port to your laptop's full-featured USB-C port.
3. Connect External Displays:
   • Connect your monitors to the DisplayPort, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and/or VGA ports using appropriate cables.
   • Ensure your display cables are securely connected.
4. Connect USB Peripherals: Plug your USB devices (keyboard, mouse, external hard drives, USB flash drives, etc.) into the available USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 ports.
5. Connect Ethernet: For a stable wired network connection, connect an Ethernet cable from your router/modem to the RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port on the docking station.
6. Connect Audio Devices: Plug your headphones or speakers into the 3.5mm Audio/Mic jack.
7. Insert Memory Cards: Insert SD or TF cards into their respective slots for data access.

The docking station is typically plug-and-play, and your operating system should automatically detect and configure the connected devices.

5. Operating the Docking Station

5.1 Display Modes

The docking station supports various display configurations, including mirror and extend modes, depending on your operating system.

Image: Illustration of different display modes: Extended Mode (Windows only), Mirror Mode, and Non-Mirror Mode (Extended for Mac, with limitations).

• Windows Systems:
  • Mirror Mode: All external displays show the same content as your laptop screen.
  • Extend Mode: Each external display can show different content, extending your desktop across multiple screens. This allows for a quadruple display setup (laptop screen + 3 external monitors, or 4 external monitors if laptop screen is off).
• macOS Systems:
  • Mirror Mode: All external displays show the same content as your MacBook screen.
  • Extend Mode: macOS typically supports extending to multiple external monitors, but due to macOS limitations, all extended external monitors will display the same content (not distinct extended displays). Your MacBook screen can be distinct from the mirrored external displays.

To configure display settings, refer to your operating system's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Settings > Displays).

5.2 Data Transfer

Utilize the various USB ports and card reader slots for high-speed data transfer.

• USB 3.1 Port: Offers speeds up to 10Gbps for rapid file transfers with compatible devices.
• USB 3.0 Ports: Provide speeds up to 5Gbps, suitable for most external storage and peripherals.
• USB 2.0 Ports: Ideal for connecting keyboards, mice, and other low-bandwidth devices.
• SD/TF Card Slots: Support simultaneous reading of both SD and Micro SD cards with speeds up to 104MB/s read and 80MB/s write.

5.3 Power Delivery

The USB-C PD3.0 port supports up to 100W power input, allowing you to charge your laptop while using the docking station.

Connect your laptop's original USB-C power adapter or a compatible PD charger to the docking station's PD port. The docking station will pass through power to your laptop, deducting approximately 13W for its own operation.

5.4 Gigabit Ethernet

The RJ45 port provides a stable and fast wired internet connection.
