• Mirror Mode: Displays the same content on all connected monitors (A-A-A).

5.2. Multiple Display Modes (macOS)

For macOS devices, due to system limitations, the docking station supports the following display modes:

• Mirror Mode: Displays the same content on all connected monitors (A-A-A).
• Extend Mode: While it extends your desktop, both external monitors will display the same content (A-B-B). macOS does not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport) for displaying different content on each external monitor.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Newmight 7-in-1 USB C Docking Station, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the docking station. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the docking station in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The compact design allows for easy storage or transport in a laptop bag.
• Heat Dissipation: The aluminum alloy casing is designed for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure the docking station is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate airflow to prevent overheating during prolonged use.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the integrated USB-C cable excessively to prevent internal damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using your Newmight 7-in-1 USB C Docking Station, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Display Output:
  • Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (video output).
  • Check that HDMI cables are securely connected to both the docking station and the monitors.
  • Verify that your monitors are set to the correct HDMI input source.
  • Try restarting your host device.
• Monitors Displaying Same Content (macOS):
  • This is a known limitation of macOS. macOS devices do not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport) mode, meaning both external monitors will mirror each other when extended. This is not a defect of the docking station.
• No Power Delivery (Charging):
  • Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports Power Delivery.
  • Verify that your original USB-C power adapter is connected to the PD port on the docking station and is functioning correctly.
  • Check if the power adapter provides sufficient wattage (e.g., 100W).
• USB Devices Not Recognized:
  • Ensure USB devices are properly inserted into the ports.
  • Try connecting the USB device directly to your host device to confirm it is working.
  • Restart your host device.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Ensure all connections are firm and stable.
  • Avoid placing the docking station near strong electromagnetic interference sources.
