3.2 Connecting to a Raspberry Pi

To connect the display to a Raspberry Pi:

1. Connect one end of the full-size HDMI cable to the HDMI-IN port on the display.
2. If your Raspberry Pi uses a Micro HDMI port (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4/5), attach the HDMI to Micro HDMI adapter to the other end of the full-size HDMI cable, then plug it into your Raspberry Pi's Micro HDMI port. If your Raspberry Pi uses a standard HDMI port, connect the HDMI cable directly.
3. Connect the USB to USB-C cable to the Power-In (USB-C) port on the display. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a suitable power source (e.g., a USB port on the Raspberry Pi or a dedicated USB power adapter).
4. Power on your Raspberry Pi. The display should automatically detect the signal and show the Raspberry Pi's desktop.
