Setup Guide

1. Connect to Host Device: Plug the integrated USB-C cable of the ORICO hub into a compatible USB-C port on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Ensure the USB-C port on your host device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) for video output and Power Delivery for charging.
2. Power Connection (Optional but Recommended): For stable operation, especially when connecting multiple devices or using the HDMI output, connect a USB-C power adapter (up to 100W) to the PD port on the hub. This will also charge your host device.
3. Connect Peripherals:
   • HDMI Display: Connect an HDMI cable from the hub's HDMI port to your monitor or TV.
   • USB Devices: Plug USB-A or USB-C peripherals (e.g., keyboard, mouse, external hard drive, USB flash drive) into the corresponding ports on the hub.
   • Ethernet Cable: Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or modem to the 2.5G Ethernet port on the hub for a wired network connection.
