- Connect one end of the included USB-C to USB-C cable to your source device (e.g., laptop, smartphone) and the other end to either Type-C port on the monitor.
- If the monitor does not power on or displays a 'No Signal' message, your source device may not be providing sufficient power. In this case, proceed to step 4.
- Connect the monitor to an external power adapter using the included USB-A to USB-C power cable and one of the monitor's Type-C ports.

2. Connecting via HDMI (Two Cables)
This method is used when your source device does not have a full-featured USB-C port or when you prefer HDMI connectivity.
- Connect one end of the included Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to your source device (e.g., gaming console, PC) and the other end to the Mini HDMI port on the monitor.
- Connect the monitor to an external power adapter using the included USB-A to USB-C power cable and one of the monitor's Type-C ports for power. External power is always required when using HDMI.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No signal / Screen flickering | Incorrect cable connection; insufficient power; source device not supporting DP Alt Mode (for USB-C); faulty cable. | Ensure all cables are securely connected. If using USB-C, verify your device's port supports DP Alt Mode. Connect an external power adapter to the monitor. Try using the included cables. |
| Monitor does not power on | No power supply; power button not pressed; faulty power adapter/cable. | Connect the monitor to a power source using the included power adapter and USB-C cable. Press the power button. Test with a different power outlet or adapter if available. |
| Magnetic cover is weak / Monitor unstable on stand | Improper positioning; inherent design for portability. | Ensure the monitor is correctly seated in the magnetic cover's grooves. The cover is designed for portability; handle with care to maintain stability. For more permanent setups, consider VESA mounting. |
| Input source confusion (e.g., Type-C1 shows as Type-C2) | OSD menu labeling discrepancy. | Familiarize yourself with the OSD menu's input source selection. Test each input to identify the correct label for your connected device. |
| Colors appear off / Need adjustment | Default color settings not optimal for your preference. | Access the OSD menu and adjust color settings (e.g., color temperature, brightness, contrast) to your desired levels. |
