3. Operating

3.1 Connecting to a Laptop/PC (USB Type-C)

To connect your monitor to a laptop or PC using a USB Type-C cable, ensure your device's Type-C port supports "DP Alt Mode" (video output). A single USB Type-C cable can transmit video, audio, and power simultaneously.

3.2 Connecting to a Laptop/PC (HDMI)

When connecting via HDMI, the HDMI cable transmits only the video signal. A separate USB-C cable must be connected to the monitor for power supply.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Dopesplay portable monitor, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the monitor in its protective cover to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  • Temperature: Avoid exposing the monitor to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Heat: It is normal for the back of the unit to become slightly warm during prolonged use. This does not indicate a malfunction.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 "No Signal" or Black Screen

  • Check Cable Connections: Ensure all cables (USB-C, HDMI, power) are securely connected to both the monitor and the source device.
  • Verify Source Device Compatibility: If using a Type-C connection, confirm that your source device's Type-C port supports "DP Alt Mode" (video output).
  • Ensure Adequate Power: For HDMI connections, a separate power supply via USB-C is always required. If connecting via Type-C and experiencing power issues, try connecting an external power adapter to the monitor.
  • Change Input Source: Use the OSD menu to manually select the correct input source (USB-C or HDMI).

5.2 Image Stretching or Black Borders

If the image appears stretched or has black borders, the aspect ratio may not be correctly applied. Access your PC's "Display Settings" and manually switch the aspect ratio to 3:2 or 16:9 as needed. This prevents image distortion and black bars.

5.3 Sound Issues with Smartphone Connection

When connecting to a smartphone, open the sound settings on your smartphone and select the portable display as the audio output device.
