Operating Instructions

Display Modes

The docking station supports various display modes depending on your operating system:

For Windows OS:

• Mirror Mode: All connected external monitors will display the same content as your laptop screen.
• Extend Mode (MST): This mode allows each connected external monitor to display different content, extending your desktop workspace. You can achieve triple monitor setups (laptop screen + 2 external, or 3 external monitors with different content).
• Resolution Support: Up to 4K@60Hz for a single monitor, 4K@30Hz for dual monitors, and 1080P@60Hz for triple monitors.
• Note: If one of the monitors does not work, you may need to manually reduce the resolution of the monitor to enable simultaneous display of all three monitors. This is often related to your laptop's configuration.

For macOS Devices:

• Mirror Mode Only: Due to macOS limitations, this docking station can only support Mirror mode, meaning all connected external monitors will display the same content. It cannot extend to three different screens.
