3.3 Connecting to a Device

The monitor supports two primary connection methods: USB-C (single cable) and HDMI (with separate power).

USB-C Single Cable Connection

For devices that support USB-C 3.1 Gen2 with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode), a single USB-C to USB-C cable can transmit video, audio, data, and power.

1. Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to the USB-C port on your device.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to one of the USB-C ports on the portable monitor.
3. If the monitor does not power on or the display is unstable, connect the AC power adapter to the monitor's other USB-C port for additional power.

Figure 3.2: Single USB-C Cable Connection

This image illustrates how a laptop and a smartphone can be connected to the portable monitor using just one USB-C cable for both power and display, simplifying the setup.

HDMI Connection with External Power

For devices without USB-C DP Alt Mode support, or for stable power delivery, use the HDMI connection.

1. Connect one end of the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to your device's HDMI port.
2. Connect the Mini HDMI end of the cable to the Mini HDMI port on the portable monitor.
3. Connect the USB-A to USB-C power cable to the monitor's USB-C power input port.
4. Connect the USB-A end of the power cable to a power source (e.g., AC adapter, laptop USB port).
