3.2 Connecting to Devices

The monitor supports both single-cable USB-C connections and two-cable HDMI connections.

3.2.1 USB-C Single-Cable Connection

For devices with full-featured USB-C ports (supporting video output and power delivery), connect one end of the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to the monitor's USB-C port and the other end to your device's USB-C port. This connection provides both video signal and power.

3.2.2 HDMI and USB-A Power Connection

If your device does not have a full-featured USB-C port, or if you prefer to use HDMI, connect the Mini-HDMI end of the provided HDMI to Mini HDMI cable to the monitor's Mini-HDMI port and the standard HDMI end to your device's HDMI port. For power, connect the USB-C end of the USB-C to USB-A cable to the monitor's USB-C port and the USB-A end to a power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter or your laptop's USB-A port).
