- Connect the other end to either USB-C Port 1 or USB-C Port 2 on the monitor.
- The monitor should automatically power on and display the content. Touch functionality will also be active.
5.2. Dual Cable Connection (HDMI + USB-C for Power/Touch)
For devices with an HDMI output, or if your USB-C port does not support power delivery, you will need two cables.
- Connect one end of the HDMI to HDMI cable to your device's HDMI output.
- Connect the other end to the HDMI Port on the monitor.
- Connect the power adapter to one of the monitor's USB-C ports (Port 1 or Port 2) for power.
- For touch functionality, connect the USB-A end of the USB-A to USB-C cable to your device's USB-A port, and the USB-C end to the other available USB-C port on the monitor.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display / "No Signal" message | Incorrect cable connection, insufficient power, incorrect input source. | Ensure cables are securely connected. Verify the device's USB-C port supports video output. Connect the power adapter if using HDMI or if USB-C power is insufficient. Check OSD menu for correct input source. |
| Touch function not working | No USB connection for touch, driver issue (rare). | Ensure the USB-C cable is full-function or that the USB-A to USB-C cable is connected for touch data. Restart the monitor and connected device. |
| Screen flickering | Unstable power, faulty cable, refresh rate mismatch. | Use the provided power adapter. Try a different cable. Adjust the refresh rate in your device's display settings. |
| Image is distorted or stretched | Incorrect aspect ratio settings. | Adjust the aspect ratio in the OSD menu or your device's display settings to match the monitor's native resolution (1920x1200). |
