4. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FOPO Triple Laptop Screen Extender, follow these care and maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen-cleaning solution to wipe the display surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or aerosol sprays directly on the screens.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the extender carefully and store it in the provided carry bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and impacts.
- Handling: Always handle the extender by its frame, avoiding direct pressure on the screens. Do not force the rotation or folding mechanisms.
- Environment: Keep the device away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, and liquids.
5. Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter any issues with your FOPO Triple Laptop Screen Extender, please refer to the following common solutions:
5.1 No Display on Extender Screens
- Check Connections: Ensure all USB-C and/or HDMI cables are securely connected to both the laptop and the extender.
- Power Supply: If using HDMI, ensure the extender screen is receiving power via the USB-C to USB-A charging cable connected to a sufficient power source (laptop USB-A port or external adapter).
- Laptop Compatibility: Verify your laptop's ports are full-featured USB-C if using USB-C only. For Mac, ensure it's M1/M2/M3 Pro/Max, not base M1/M2/M3 chips.
- Restart Devices: Disconnect the extender, restart your laptop, and then reconnect the extender.
5.2 Incorrect Display (e.g., Duplicated, Wrong Orientation)
- Adjust Display Settings: Follow the 'Operating Instructions' (Section 3) for MacOS or Windows to correctly arrange and extend your displays.
- Resolution: Ensure the resolution for each extender screen is set to 1920x1080P in your display settings.
- Driver Updates: Although plug-and-play, ensure your laptop's graphics drivers are up to date.
5.3 Screen Flickering or Instability
- Cable Quality: Use the original cables provided with the extender. Faulty or low-quality cables can cause display issues.
- Power Fluctuation: Ensure a stable power supply. If using a USB-A port for power, try a different port or a powered USB hub.
- Refresh Rate: Check display settings to ensure the refresh rate is set to 60Hz.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact FOPO customer support for further assistance.
