4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Display Modes

The docking station supports various display configurations depending on your operating system and graphics card.

Windows Operating System:

• Mirror Mode: All connected displays will show the same content as your laptop screen.
• Extend Mode (AMD/Nvidia Graphics): With AMD or Nvidia graphics cards, you can extend your desktop across up to four different displays (laptop screen + HDMI + VGA + 2x DP).
• Extend Mode (Intel Graphics): For Windows laptops with Intel graphics, due to graphics limitations, you can achieve up to three extended displays (laptop screen + three external monitors). One of the four video output ports will display a black screen if all four are connected simultaneously.

Mac OS Operating System:

Mac OS does not support Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for extended displays. Therefore, you can achieve:

• Mirror Mode: All connected displays will show the same content as your MacBook screen.
• Extend Mode: You can get two different contents: one on your MacBook screen and one mirrored across all connected external displays.

4.2 Data Transfer

Utilize the USB 3.1 ports (up to 10Gbps) and USB 3.0 ports (up to 5Gbps) for high-speed data transfer with compatible devices. The USB 2.0 ports are suitable for keyboards, mice, and other low-bandwidth peripherals.

4.3 Power Delivery

The docking station supports up to 100W power input via its dedicated PD 3.0 USB-C port. It provides up to 87W power output to charge your connected laptop, ensuring sufficient power for operation and charging.

5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your docking station:

• Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the device, as it features an all-aluminum shell and air vents for efficient heat dissipation.
• Disconnect the device from power and your laptop when not in use for extended periods.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your docking station, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
