- Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to your smartphone's full-featured USB-C port and the other end to either of the monitor's full-featured Type-C ports.

- Connect the USB-A to USB-C power cable from a power adapter (or a strong USB power source) to one of the monitor's full-featured Type-C ports to power the monitor.
