4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Multi-Display Modes (Windows)

For Windows operating systems, the docking station supports Mirror Mode, Extend Mode, and MST (Multi-Stream Transport) Mode for multiple displays.

• Mirror Mode (AAAA): All connected displays show the same content as your primary laptop screen.
• Extend Mode (ABBB): Each connected display shows different content, extending your desktop across multiple screens.
• MST Mode (ABCDE): Allows for independent content on up to four external displays, significantly expanding your workspace. This mode is particularly useful for complex multitasking.

Note: For detailed resolution information across different display configurations (Single, Dual, Triple, Quad Display) on Windows, please refer to the comprehensive tables provided in the product documentation or online resources.

4.2 Multi-Display Modes (macOS)

For macOS, due to system limitations, MST (Multi-Stream Transport) is not supported. All extended monitors will display the same content.

• Mirror Mode (AAAA): All connected displays show the same content as your primary laptop screen.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

1. No Display Output:

   • Check all cable connections (USB-C from dock to laptop, and video cables from dock to monitors).
   • Try restarting your laptop and reconnecting the docking station.
   • Update your graphics drivers and USB-C drivers on your laptop.
   • Verify monitor input settings are correct (e.g., HDMI 1, DisplayPort).
2. Charging Not Working:
   • Ensure your laptop's original power adapter is connected to the PD 100W port on the docking station.
   • Verify your laptop supports USB-C Power Delivery.
   • Check if the power adapter and cable are functioning correctly.
3. USB Devices Not Recognized:
   • Try connecting the USB device directly to your laptop to confirm it works.
   • Reconnect the USB device to a different port on the docking station.
   • Ensure the docking station is properly powered.
4. Ethernet Connection Issues:
   • Check the Ethernet cable connection to both the docking station and your router/modem.
   • Verify network settings on your computer.
   • Restart your router/modem.
