8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your docking station, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Display Output:
- Ensure the USB-C host connector is securely plugged into your device.
- Verify the HDMI cable is properly connected to both the docking station and the monitor.
- Check your monitor's input source setting.
- Try connecting the HDMI cable directly to your device (if applicable) to rule out cable or monitor issues.
- Restart your host device.
- Slow Data Transfer Speed:
- Ensure your connected USB devices support 10Gbps speeds.
- Verify your host device's USB-C port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps).
- Avoid connecting too many power-hungry devices simultaneously without external power.
- Device Not Charging / Insufficient Power:
- Ensure a compatible USB-C PD power adapter (e.g., 65W or 100W) is connected to the docking station's PD port.
- Check if the power adapter and cable are functioning correctly.
- Note that the docking station reserves some power for its own operation and connected peripherals, so the output to your host device will be slightly less than the input (e.g., 100W input provides ~85W output).
- Ethernet Connection Issues:
- Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the docking station and your router/modem.
- Check your network settings on your host device.
- Try a different Ethernet cable.
- Disconnect and reconnect the docking station from your host device.
