5. Setup
Follow these steps to connect your EVICIV Portable Monitor to your device.
5.1. Power Connection
Always connect the monitor to a power source using the provided 5V/3A power adapter before connecting to your compatible device. This ensures stable power delivery and prevents flickering or black screen issues.
5.2. Connecting to Devices
The monitor supports various connection methods depending on your device's ports and desired functionality.
5.2.1. Single Cable Solution (Full-Featured USB-C)
If your device has a full-featured USB-C 3.1 port (supporting power, signal, and touch), you can connect the monitor using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. This provides power, video signal, and touch functionality simultaneously.
Figure 5.1: One Cable Solution (USB-C)
Note: iOS/Mac OS/iPad OS device touch functionality is not supported via this method.
5.2.2. Two Cable Solution (HDMI + USB-A/C)
For devices without a full-featured USB-C port, or for optimal performance, you will need two cables:
- Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable: For video signal transmission.
- USB-A to USB-C Cable: For power and touch functionality. Connect the USB-A end to your device's USB port and the USB-C end to one of the monitor's Type-C ports.

Note: Some gaming devices (e.g., Switch, Xbox, PlayStation) do not support touch due to their system limitations. iOS/Mac OS/iPad OS device touch functionality is not supported.
5.2.3. Multiport Adapter Connection (No Touch)
If your device uses a Lightning port, micro USB port, or a non-full-featured Type-C port, you will need an adapter (not included) to connect your device to the monitor. In such cases, the touch function cannot be used. This applies to devices like iPhone and iPad series.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

- Check your device's display settings to ensure it is configured to output to an external monitor.

- Check for loose cable connections.
- No Audio from Speakers:
- Check the volume settings on both the monitor and your connected device.
