4. Setup

Setting up your EVICIV portable monitor is straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Positioning the Monitor: Use the included smart cover to prop up the monitor. The cover allows for two viewing angles. Alternatively, use the VESA mount holes on the back to attach it to a compatible stand or wall mount.
2. Connecting to a Device:
   • USB-C Connection: If your device (laptop, smartphone, tablet) has a full-featured USB-C port (supporting power delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode), connect it to one of the monitor's USB-C ports using the provided USB-C to USB-C cable. This single cable can provide both power and video signal.
   • HDMI Connection: Connect your device (PC, game console, camera) to the monitor's Mini HDMI port using the provided Mini HDMI to HDMI cable.
3. Powering the Monitor:
   • If using a full-featured USB-C connection, external power may not be required if your device can supply sufficient power.
   • For HDMI connections, or if your USB-C device cannot supply enough power, connect the provided power adapter to one of the monitor's USB-C ports using the USB-A to USB-C cable.
4. Initial Power On: The monitor should automatically turn on when connected. If the screen appears dim, adjust the brightness through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
