5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Using the Foldable Stand
The dock features a built-in foldable kickstand. To use it, simply pull out the stand from the back of the dock until it locks into place. This allows your Steam Deck to stand upright on a flat surface for comfortable viewing or desktop mode.
5.2. Connecting to an External Display
Once the HDMI cable is connected from the dock to your monitor, your Steam Deck should automatically detect the external display. You may need to adjust display settings within the Steam Deck's operating system (SteamOS or Desktop Mode) to configure resolution, refresh rate, and display arrangement (e.g., mirror or extend display).
