Setup

Connecting the Monitor

The iProda Portable Monitor offers flexible connectivity options:

• USB-C Connection (Full Function):

  Connect one end of the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to your device's USB-C port (ensure it supports USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3 for full functionality, including video, audio, and power). Connect the other end to one of the USB-C ports on the monitor. This single cable can provide both signal transmission and power if your device's USB-C port supports it.

• HDMI Connection:

  Connect one end of the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to the Mini HDMI port on the monitor. Connect the other end (HDMI) to your device's HDMI port. Note: The HDMI cable does not supply power. You must power the monitor separately using the included power adapter connected to one of the monitor's USB-C ports.
