4. Setup
4.1 Connecting to a Device
The monitor supports connection via full-featured USB-C or HDMI.
- USB-C Connection (Single Cable Solution):

Connect the monitor to your device (PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch) using the provided Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. For power, connect the monitor to a power source using the USB-A to USB-C power cable and power adapter.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Monitor
To clean the screen, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth slightly with water or a non-abrasive screen cleaner specifically designed for electronics. Avoid using alcohol-based cleaners, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials.
6.2 Storage
When not in use, store the monitor in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to use the original packaging or a protective sleeve to prevent scratches and damage during storage or transport.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Signal/Black Screen:
- Ensure all cables (USB-C, HDMI, power) are securely connected to both the monitor and your device.
- Verify the input source selected on the monitor's OSD menu matches your connection (e.g., USB-C or HDMI).
- Test with a different cable or device if possible to rule out cable or source issues.
- Ensure your device's display settings are configured to output to an external monitor.
- Power Issues:
- Confirm the power adapter is correctly plugged into a working electrical outlet and the monitor.

- Image Quality Issues (e.g., dark screen, incorrect colors):
- Adjust brightness, contrast, and color settings in the OSD menu.
- Disable or enable HDR mode in the OSD menu and your device's display settings to see if it resolves the issue.
- Ensure your device's graphics drivers are up to date.
