Method 1: Type-C Connection (Recommended for full functionality)
If your laptop has two full-featured USB-C ports (supporting video and power delivery):

  1. Connect one USB-C to USB-C cable from your laptop to the USB-C port on the back of the left monitor.
  2. Connect a second USB-C to USB-C cable from your laptop to the USB-C port on the back of the right monitor.

This method provides both video signal and power through a single cable per monitor.

Method 2: Type-C, HDMI, and USB-A Connection
If your laptop has one full-featured USB-C port and an HDMI port, or limited USB-C ports:

  1. For the first monitor: Connect a USB-C to USB-C cable from your laptop's full-featured USB-C port to the USB-C port on one of the monitors.
  2. For the second monitor:
    • Connect an HDMI to Type-C cable from your laptop's HDMI port to the Type-C port on the second monitor.
    • Connect a USB-A to USB-C cable from your laptop's USB-A port to the power-only USB-C port on the second monitor to supply power.

Note: The USB-A to USB-C cable is for power supply only and does not transmit video data.

H5-T Hub: For Windows and Mac OS (M1, M2, M3) laptops with compatibility issues or limited ports, the included H5-T Hub can convert a USB-A/Type-C transmission port on your laptop into a video port.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your siaviala S6 Monitor.

4.1 Cleaning the Screens

  • Always power off and disconnect the monitors before cleaning.

  • For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaning solution. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or alcohol-based solutions, as these can damage the screen coating.

  • Store the monitors in the provided carrying bag when not in use or during travel to protect them from scratches and impacts.
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on the monitors.
  • Keep the monitors away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity.
