Setup Guide

1. Connect to Host Device: Plug the integrated USB-C cable of the docking station into the USB-C port of your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Ensure your device's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and Power Delivery for full functionality.
2. Power Connection (Optional but Recommended): For stable operation and to charge your host device, connect a USB-C power adapter (up to 100W recommended) to the PD (Power Delivery) port on the docking station. The hub itself consumes 15W, so an 85W output will be delivered to your device with a 100W input.
3. Connect External Displays:
   • For single display, connect an HDMI cable from your monitor to HDMI 1 port for up to 4K@120Hz resolution.
   • For dual displays, connect two HDMI cables from your monitors to both HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 ports. Resolutions will vary based on your host device's capabilities (e.g., dual 4K@30Hz).

6. Insert Memory Cards: Insert your SD or TF (MicroSD) cards into the corresponding slots for data transfer.

Operating Instructions

Once connected, the Baseus 9-in-1 USB-C Docking Station operates largely plug-and-play. Your operating system should automatically detect and configure the connected devices.

Display Configuration:

• Windows: Right-click on your desktop, select "Display settings," and arrange your monitors. You can choose to extend, duplicate, or show only on one display.
• macOS: Go to "System Preferences" > "Displays" > "Arrangement" to configure your external monitors.

Power Delivery Functionality:

The PD port allows your laptop to receive power through the docking station. Ensure your power adapter is connected to the PD port on the hub and is of sufficient wattage (e.g., 100W) to provide 85W to your laptop after the hub's self-consumption.
