3.1 Physical Installation

The Duex Float offers flexible installation options, including magnetic attachment to your laptop or independent use with its built-in kickstand.

Magnetic Attachment:

1. Place the magnetic plates towards the monitor side and remove the adhesive stickers.
2. Ensure the Duex Float is centered in the back of your laptop.
3. Open your laptop monitor.
4. Slide the Duex Float and extend the screen.

Using the Built-in Kickstand:

The Duex Float features a built-in kickstand, allowing it to be used independently on any flat surface without needing to be attached to a laptop. Simply extend the kickstand from the back of the monitor to position it upright.

3.2 Connectivity

The Duex Float supports various connection methods for seamless integration with your devices.

USB-C Connection:

Connect the Duex Float to your device using the provided USB-C to C cable. If your laptop has a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode), a single cable can provide both video and power. The Duex Float also features two USB-C ports with pass-through charging.

HDMI Connection:

For devices without DP Alt Mode USB-C, or for gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch, use the HDMI cable for video output. You may need to use the USB-C cable for power delivery separately.

3.3 Driver Installation (MacOS)

For MacOS users, downloading specific drivers is required to enable touchscreen functionality. Please visit the official Mobile Pixels website for the latest driver downloads and installation instructions.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off and Display Settings

Once connected, the Duex Float should automatically power on. Use the physical buttons on the side of the monitor to adjust brightness, contrast, and other display settings. The touchscreen can also be toggled on or off via these controls.

4.2 Viewing Modes and Ergonomics

The Duex Float supports multiple viewing modes to adapt to your workflow:

• Dual-screen Mode: Stacked above your laptop for an extended vertical workspace.
• Presentation Mode: Folded to face an audience for easy sharing.
• Desktop Mode: Used independently with its kickstand as a standalone monitor.

The stacked configuration is designed for healthy ergonomic alignment, reducing neck and back strain by minimizing head movement.

4.3 Screen Rotation and Folding

The Duex Float supports 360° rotation and 180° folding, allowing you to freely adjust the angle and position of the screen to suit your needs.

4.4 OS-Specific Features (Mac)

On MacOS, you can use keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Command + F1) to toggle between mirroring your main screen and extending your display. This allows for quick switching between different display configurations.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning

To clean the screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the screen surface.

5.2 Storage

When not in use, fold the Duex Float into its compact form to protect the screen and components. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Duex Float, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display Not Turning On:
  - Ensure the monitor is properly connected to your device via USB-C or HDMI.
  - Verify that your device is powered on and outputting a signal.
  - Check the power source if using a separate power adapter.
• Touchscreen Not Responding (MacOS):
  - Confirm that the necessary drivers for MacOS touchscreen functionality have been downloaded and installed from the Mobile Pixels website.
• Screen Flickering or Low Refresh Rate:
  - This may indicate a compatibility issue with your device's graphics settings or a cable problem. Try adjusting your device's display settings or using a different cable.
  - Ensure your device's drivers are up to date.
