3. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect your Teamgee Laptop Screen Extender to your device.

3.1. Understanding Connection Ports

The Teamgee extender supports various connection types:

• Full-featured USB-C Ports: For video, audio, and power transmission via a single cable.
• USB-A Ports: For power and data.
• HDMI Ports: For video and audio transmission.

3.2. Connection Methods

Choose the appropriate connection method based on your laptop's available ports:

Method 1: Using Two Full-featured USB-C Cables (Recommended for optimal performance)

1. Connect one full-featured USB-C cable from your laptop's USB-C port to the USB-C port on the right display of the extender.
2. Connect a second full-featured USB-C cable from your laptop's second USB-C port to the USB-C port on the left display of the extender.

Method 2: Using USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI Cables

This method is suitable if your laptop does not have two full-featured USB-C ports.

1. Connect one full-featured USB-C cable from your laptop's USB-C port to the USB-C port on the right display.
2. For the left display, connect the USB-A cable first, then the HDMI cable to the corresponding ports on the display and your laptop. Do not reverse the order.

3.3. Important Notes on Compatibility

• For some devices, such as MacBooks with M1/M2/M3/M4 chips, Dell Latitude 5440, and Dell Precision 5690/3580, a docking station or specific converter may be required due to their display output limitations.
• Ensure your laptop's ports can provide sufficient power to the extender. If not, an external power source (e.g., a power bank or wall adapter) may be needed for stable operation.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Adjusting Display Settings

Each display on the extender features a multi-function button. Use this button to access and customize settings:

• Brightness: Adjust the screen's luminance for optimal viewing in different lighting conditions.
• Contrast: Modify the difference between the darkest and brightest areas of the image.
• Color Temperature: Fine-tune the color balance to suit your preference or task.

Refer to the on-screen display (OSD) menu for detailed navigation and setting adjustments.

4.2. Display Modes (Extended/Mirrored)

Your operating system (Windows, macOS) controls how the external displays are used. You can typically switch between:

• Extended Mode: Each display acts as a separate workspace, allowing you to spread applications across multiple screens for increased desktop space.
• Mirrored Mode (Duplicate): All displays show the same content as your primary laptop screen, useful for presentations or sharing content.

Access these settings through your laptop's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings or macOS System Settings > Displays).

4.3. Adjusting the Integrated Stand

The extender features an adjustable kickstand. Extend or retract the stand to achieve the desired viewing angle and stability for your laptop and the attached screens. Ensure the non-slip rubber padding is securely positioned on a flat surface.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Teamgee screen extender.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen-cleaning solution to wipe the display surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or direct spraying onto the screen.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the extender flat and store it in its durable carrying case to protect it from dust, scratches, and impacts.
• Handling: Always handle the extender by its frame, avoiding direct pressure on the screen panels.
• Environment: Keep the device away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Teamgee screen extender, refer to the following common solutions:

6.1. No Signal / No Power

• Check Cables: Ensure all USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI cables are securely connected to both the extender and your laptop. Try re-plugging them.
• Power Source: Verify that your laptop's ports are providing sufficient power. If not, connect an external power adapter or power bank to the extender's power input port.
• Connection Order: If using USB-A and HDMI, ensure the USB-A cable is connected before the HDMI cable.
• Laptop Settings: Check your laptop's display settings to ensure the external monitors are detected and enabled (e.g., extend or duplicate mode).

6.2. Display Flickering or Instability

• Power Supply: Insufficient power can cause instability. Ensure adequate power is supplied, especially if running multiple displays or power-intensive applications.
• Cable Quality: Use the original cables provided or high-quality certified cables to ensure stable data and power transmission.
• Driver Updates: Ensure your laptop's graphics drivers are up to date.

6.3. Compatibility Issues (e.g., MacBook M1/M2/M3/M4, Dell Latitude/Precision)

• As noted in the setup guide, certain laptop models may require a specific docking station or converter to support multiple external displays. Contact Teamgee support for recommended converter options if you experience issues.
