Setup Instructions

Connecting to Windows Laptops

For Windows systems, the Upperizon portable monitor offers a plug-and-play experience. The necessary driver will automatically install upon the first connection.

  1. Single USB-C Cable Connection (Recommended): If your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) or Thunderbolt 3/4/5, you can achieve a three-screen setup (laptop + two portable monitors) with a single USB-C to USB-C cable. Connect one end of the full-featured USB-C cable to your laptop's compatible USB-C port and the other end to the USB-C Display Port on the portable monitor. This single cable will provide both video signal and power.
  2. HDMI and USB-C Power Connection: If your laptop's USB-C port does not support DP Alt Mode, or if you prefer using HDMI:
    • Connect one Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable from your laptop's HDMI port to the Bottom HDMI Port on the portable monitor for the bottom screen signal.
    • Connect a USB-C to USB-A cable from your laptop's USB-A port to the USB-C Display Port on the portable monitor for the upper screen signal.
    • Connect the 65W Power Adapter to the USB-C Power Port on the portable monitor to ensure stable power supply.
  3. Two HDMI Ports Connection: For devices with two HDMI outputs:
    • Connect one Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable from your device's first HDMI port to the Upper HDMI Port on the portable monitor for the upper screen signal.
    • Connect a second Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable from your device's second HDMI port to the Bottom HDMI Port on the portable monitor for the bottom screen signal.
    • Connect the 65W Power Adapter to the USB-C Power Port on the portable monitor for power.

Connecting to macOS Laptops

For macOS systems, manual installation of the "DisplayLink" driver is required. This driver is safe and essential for proper functionality.

  1. Visit the official DisplayLink website (synaptics.com) to download the latest "DisplayLink Manager" for macOS.
  2. Accept the software license agreement and proceed with the installation.
  3. During installation, you may be prompted to enter your password to allow the software installation.
  4. After installation, navigate to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording.
  5. Enable the toggle for "DisplayLink Manager" to allow it to record the content of your screen. This permission is necessary for the monitor to function correctly and does not pose a security risk.
  6. If prompted, click "Quit & Reopen" to restart DisplayLink Manager.
  7. Once the driver is installed and permissions are granted, connect the monitor using the appropriate cables as described for Windows (USB-C or HDMI/USB-C power).

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and exterior. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, fold the monitor to protect the screens. Store it in the included sleeve case to prevent scratches and damage.
  • Handling: Handle the monitor with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.
  • Temperature: Operate and store the monitor within recommended temperature ranges to ensure longevity. Avoid extreme heat or cold.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Upperizon portable monitor, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • No Signal / Black Screen:
    • Ensure all cables (USB-C, HDMI, power) are securely connected to both the monitor and your device.
    • Verify that your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode if using a single USB-C cable for video and power.
    • For macOS, confirm the DisplayLink driver is installed and "Screen Recording" permission is enabled.
    • Try connecting the monitor to a different port on your laptop or a different device to rule out port issues.
    • Ensure the monitor is receiving adequate power. Use the provided 65W power adapter if the laptop's USB-C port cannot supply enough power.
  • Screen Flickering or Unstable Display:
    • Check cable connections for looseness or damage. Try a different cable.
    • Ensure the monitor is adequately powered. Connect the 65W power adapter.
    • Adjust the refresh rate or resolution settings on your computer.
  • Only One Screen Working (macOS):
    • This is a known limitation for some macOS configurations when using a single USB-C cable. Ensure the DisplayLink driver is correctly installed and enabled for screen recording.
    • As an alternative, try connecting the top screen via Mini-HDMI and the bottom screen via USB-C, along with the power adapter.
  • No Audio:
    • Note that only the bottom screen has built-in speakers.
    • Check your computer's audio output settings to ensure the monitor is selected as the output device.
    • Adjust the volume using the OSD menu or your computer's volume controls.
  • DisplayLink Manager "Recording" Warning (macOS):
    • The "Screen Recording" permission is a standard requirement for DisplayLink technology to function. It allows the driver to capture and extend your display. It does not record your personal data or pose a security risk.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, please contact Upperizon customer support for further assistance.
