3. Operating Instructions

Once the cable is correctly connected and devices are powered on, your display should automatically detect the signal from the source device. If not, follow these steps:

• Display Settings: On your source device (computer), navigate to your display settings. Ensure the external display is detected and configured for the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 3840x2160 at 60Hz for 4K).
• Audio Output: If you are not receiving audio through your HDMI display, check your source device's sound settings. Select the HDMI output as the default audio device.
• Directional Cable: Remember that this cable is directional. It transmits signals only from DisplayPort to HDMI. Connecting it in reverse (HDMI source to DisplayPort display) will not work.
