5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Screens

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen surfaces. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-cleaning solution specifically designed for electronic displays. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or spraying liquids directly onto the screen.

When not in use, fold the monitor to protect the screens from dust and damage. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The monitor's durable metal frame and foldable design make it suitable for transport in a backpack or carrying case.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 No Display / One Monitor Not Turning On

Issue: The monitor does not display an image, or only one of the two screens turns on.

Solution:

• Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the laptop and the monitor.
• Verify that your laptop's USB-C port is a full-function port that supports video output.
• Restart your laptop. A system restart can resolve connection issues, especially if the monitor was recently unplugged and reconnected.
• Check your laptop's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings) to ensure the external monitors are detected and configured correctly (e.g., "Extend these displays" or "Duplicate these displays").
• Try a different USB-C cable if available, as a faulty cable can prevent display.
• Ensure your laptop has sufficient power. Some laptops may require external power to drive multiple external displays reliably.

6.2 Flickering or Unstable Display

Issue: The screen flickers or the image is unstable.

Solution:

• Ensure the USB-C cable is not damaged and is properly connected.
• Reduce the display resolution or refresh rate in your laptop's display settings to see if it stabilizes the image.
• Update your laptop's graphics drivers to the latest version.
• Ensure no strong electromagnetic interference sources are nearby that could affect the display signal.

6.3 Screen Brightness or Color Issues

Issue: The screen brightness or color appears incorrect or inconsistent.

Solution:

• Use the independent control buttons on each monitor panel to adjust brightness, contrast, and RGB settings to your preference.
• Check your laptop's display calibration settings, as these can affect the color output to external monitors.
