2.1 USB-C Cable Connection (Single Cable Solution)

For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (supporting Thunderbolt 3/4/5 or DisplayPort Alt Mode), a single USB-C to USB-C cable can provide both video signal and power.

1. Connect one end of the full-featured USB-C to USB-C cable to your device's compatible USB-C port.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to either of the USB-C ports on the VisionOwl monitor.
3. If the monitor does not power on or the screen is dim, connect the original 30W power adapter to the other USB-C port on the monitor for sufficient power supply. Manually adjust brightness if needed.

2.2 HDMI Cable + Power Cable Connection

For devices without a full-featured USB-C port, use an HDMI cable for video and a USB-C to USB-A cable with the power adapter for power.

1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to your device's HDMI output.
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the VisionOwl monitor.
3. Connect the provided power adapter to one of the USB-C ports on the monitor using a USB-C to USB-A cable (or the provided USB-C to USB-C cable if using a USB-A power source).

2.3 Connecting to Gaming Consoles (PS5, Xbox)
