4. Operating Instructions

Once set up, the ORICO 6-in-1 USB C Hub operates seamlessly with your connected devices. Here's how to utilize its functions:

• HDMI Display: Your external monitor should automatically detect the signal. If not, check your display settings on your host device to extend or duplicate your screen. The hub supports resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz.
• Ethernet Connection: The 2.5G Ethernet port provides a stable and fast wired network connection. Your operating system should automatically recognize the wired connection. This is ideal for high-bandwidth activities like large file transfers or online gaming.

• Power Delivery (PD): The 100W PD port allows you to charge your laptop or other USB-C powered devices while using the hub. The hub itself reserves some power, so the actual output to your device will be slightly less (e.g., 85W output for 100W input).
