Setup Instructions

1. Connect to Host Device: Plug the integrated USB-C cable from the docking station into the USB-C port on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
2. Connect Power (Optional but Recommended): For optimal performance and to charge your host device, connect a USB-C PD power adapter (not included) to the PD 100W USB-C port on the docking station. This provides up to 85W pass-through charging to your laptop.
3. Connect Displays: Use HDMI cables to connect your external monitors to the HDMI ports on the docking station. One HDMI port supports up to 4K@120Hz, and both support dual 4K@60Hz.
4. Connect Peripherals: Plug your USB-A devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard, external drives) into the USB-A ports. Connect USB-C data devices to the USB-C data port. For wired internet, connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port. Insert SD or TF cards into their respective slots for data access.

Operating the Docking Station

Dual Display Configuration

The docking station supports various display modes to enhance your visual workspace:

• Single Display: Achieve stunning 4K@120Hz clarity by using one HDMI port. This is ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming or detailed visual work.
• Dual Display: Experience dual display in 4K@60Hz resolution on both HDMI ports. Note that due to macOS limitations, all extended screen content will be the same (Mirror Mode or A+A+A in Extend Mode). Windows laptops with Thunderbolt 4 or DP1.4 can achieve 4K@120Hz output.

This image illustrates the capability of the docking station to output a single display at 4K@120Hz, enhancing visual experience for gaming or high-resolution content.

This diagram explains different dual display configurations: Mirror Mode (4K@60Hz on both displays) and Extend Mode (4K@60Hz on both displays). It notes macOS limitations where all extended screens will display the same content.

High-Speed Data Transfer

Benefit from super-fast 10Gbps data transmission speeds with the two USB 3.2 ports (one USB-C Data Port and one USB-A Data Port). Transfer large files and pictures in seconds. The SD/TF card slots allow simultaneous reading of memory cards at speeds up to 104MB/s.

This image highlights the docking station's ability to transfer large files quickly, with a visual comparison showing 20 seconds for 20GB with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) versus 50 seconds for 5GB with USB 3.0.

One-Click Screen Lock

Secure your privacy with the convenient one-click screen lock button. Pressing the button will lock the cast screen, preventing unwanted sharing of sensitive data without needing to disconnect the hub.

• Windows Systems: Press the button once to lock the screen.
• macOS Systems: Press the button twice to lock the screen.

This image demonstrates the convenient one-click screen lock button on the docking station, allowing users to quickly secure their display. A note clarifies that one press is for Windows and two for macOS.

Power Delivery (PD 100W)

The USB-C PD port supports a maximum 100W power input, allowing for high-speed pass-through charging of up to 85W to your laptop. This ensures your device remains powered and ready for efficient work. Note: Power adapter and input cable are not included.

Technical Specifications

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the docking station away from water, fire, and corrosive substances.

• Ensure proper ventilation around the docking station, especially during prolonged use, to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

Q: No display output or flickering screen.

A: Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected. Verify that your host device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) 1.4 or above. Check your monitor's resolution and refresh rate settings to ensure compatibility with the docking station's output capabilities (4K@120Hz for single, 4K@60Hz for dual). Try restarting your host device.

Q: USB devices are not recognized.

A: Reconnect the docking station to your host device. Ensure the docking station is receiving sufficient power, especially if multiple power-hungry devices are connected. Try connecting the USB device to a different port on the docking station.

Q: Slow data transfer speeds.

A: Ensure your devices are connected to the 10Gbps USB 3.2 ports. Verify that your cables are high-quality and support the desired transfer speeds. The overall speed is also limited by the host device's USB version.

Q: Docking station feels warm during use.

A: It is normal for the docking station to become warm, especially under heavy load or when charging a laptop. The aluminum casing helps dissipate heat. Ensure it has adequate ventilation and is not covered.

Q: Power Delivery (PD) is not charging my laptop.

A: Ensure your power adapter is connected to the dedicated PD USB-C port on the docking station and provides sufficient wattage (100W recommended for optimal pass-through charging). Verify that your laptop supports USB-C Power Delivery.
