Setup Guide

Connecting Your Monitor

The MAGICRAVEN portable monitor supports various devices via USB-C and Mini-HDMI connections. Ensure your device supports video output over USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) or has an HDMI output.

1. Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapter to the monitor's USB-C power input port. This is crucial for stable operation. Do not use the Micro-USB port to get power.
2. USB-C Connection (Video & Power): For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery), use the included USB-C to USB-C cable. Connect one end to your device's USB-C port and the other to either of the monitor's USB-C 3.2 ports. This single cable can transmit both video signal and power.
3. HDMI Connection (Video Only): For devices with an HDMI output, use the included HDMI to Mini HDMI cable. Connect the HDMI end to your device and the Mini HDMI end to the monitor's Mini HDMI 2.0 port. When using HDMI, you must also connect the monitor to a power source via one of the USB-C ports using the USB-A to USB-C cable and power adapter.
4. Audio Output: If desired, connect headphones or external speakers to the 3.5mm audio jack on the monitor.
