1. Connect the monitor to your Mac via Type-C.
2. Access the monitor's menu (using the buttons on the side).
3. Navigate to "Other Settings" -> "Mac extend" -> "On".
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the necessary driver.

5. Operating Modes

The InnoView dual portable monitor supports several display modes to suit various tasks:

• Copy Mode: The upper and lower screens display the same content. This is useful for sharing information directly.
• Splicing Mode: Combines the upper and lower screens into one larger overall screen, creating a "waterfall" effect for viewing long documents or web pages.
• Extended Mode: Displays different content across the three screens (laptop + two portable screens), providing maximum workspace. Note: Extended mode is not supported for HDMI connections. Mac requires driver installation via Type-C for this mode.
• Shared Mode: The top and bottom screens display the same content, but the top screen is flipped, allowing for easy face-to-face presentations or collaboration.
• Portrait Mode: Vertical mode for specific tasks like programming or reading long texts. (Windows only, manual adjustment required).

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen cleaner to wipe the display. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the monitor to its compact size and store it in a protective sleeve or bag to prevent scratches and damage.
• Handling: Handle the monitor with care, especially the hinges and screen panels, to ensure longevity.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Signal:
  • Ensure all cables (USB-C or HDMI + power) are securely connected.
  • Verify that your laptop's Type-C port is full-featured (supports video output and power delivery).
  • If using HDMI, confirm the power adapter is connected and providing sufficient power (30W or higher recommended).
  • Check your computer's display settings to ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly (e.g., extended or duplicate display).
• Display Mode Issues:
  • For Mac extended mode, ensure the necessary drivers are installed and enabled as described in Section 4.3.
  • HDMI connections only support splicing and copy modes; extended mode is not available via HDMI.
  • Use the mode change buttons on the side of the monitor to cycle through available display modes.
• Screen Rotation Issues:
  • The monitor supports 180° automatic rotation via gravity sensor. If rotation is not working, check for physical obstructions or ensure the monitor is placed on a stable surface.
  • For portrait mode on Windows, manual adjustment in display settings may be required.
• Power Issues:
  • Ensure the monitor is connected to a 30W or higher power supply for optimal performance, especially when using HDMI or if your laptop's USB-C port cannot provide enough power.
  • Use the original power adapter and cables provided.
