3. Setup Guide

3.1 Powering the Monitor

The monitor can be powered in several ways:

  • Via Power Adapter: Connect the provided power adapter to one of the Type-C ports (1 or 2) and plug it into a power outlet.
  • Via USB-C from Device: If your connected device (e.g., laptop, smartphone) supports power delivery via its Type-C port, the monitor can draw power directly from it using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. Ensure the device can provide sufficient power.
  • Via Power Bank: For portable use, connect a compatible power bank to one of the Type-C ports using the USB-A to USB-C power cable.

3.2 Connecting to Devices

The monitor supports various connection methods:

  • USB Type-C Connection (Full-function):
    1. Ensure your device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
    2. Connect one end of the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to your device's USB-C port and the other end to either Type-C port (1 or 2) on the monitor.
    3. If your device cannot provide enough power, connect the monitor to an external power source using the power adapter or a power bank.

  • HDMI Connection:
    1. Connect one end of the provided Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to the Mini HDMI port (3) on the monitor.
    2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to your device's HDMI port.
    3. Always connect the monitor to an external power source using the power adapter when using HDMI, as HDMI does not provide power.
  • Gaming Consoles (PS4/PS5, XBOX, Switch):

    Connect gaming consoles via the Mini HDMI port. Ensure the monitor is externally powered. For Nintendo Switch, a separate power source for the Switch is also required, and a full-function Type-C cable can be used if the Switch supports video output via Type-C.
