Attaching the Monitor to Your Laptop

Connecting the Monitor
The Laptomo monitor supports multiple connection methods for video and power. Choose the method that best suits your laptop's ports.
- USB-C Connection (Full Function): If your laptop has a full-featured USB-C port (supporting video and power delivery), connect one USB-C to USB-C cable from your laptop to each monitor's USB-C port. This provides both video signal and power.
- HDMI + USB-A Connection: If your laptop has an HDMI port and a USB-A port, connect one HDMI to USB-C cable for video and one USB-A to USB-C cable for power to each monitor.
- Power Requirement: When using an HDMI connection, ensure a separate USB-A to USB-C cable is connected to the same extended screen for power.
- Plug & Play: Once connected, the monitors should be automatically detected by your operating system. You may need to adjust display settings in your OS.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Laptomo Triple Portable Monitor, please refer to the following table for common problems and solutions.
