3. Connecting to a Device

The Newsoul M616 monitor offers flexible connection options:

Connecting via USB Type-C (Single Cable Solution)

If your device (laptop, smartphone, etc.) has a full-featured USB Type-C port (supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode and power delivery, e.g., Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C), you can connect the monitor using a single USB Type-C cable for both power and video signal.

Connecting via Mini HDMI (Requires External Power)

If your device does not have a full-featured USB Type-C port, or if you prefer to use HDMI, connect the monitor using a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable for video, and a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable (or a power adapter) for power. Ensure the monitor receives adequate power (5V).

Maintenance

Cleaning the Monitor

• Always power off the monitor and disconnect all cables before cleaning.

• Avoid using harsh chemicals, alcohol, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the screen surface.

Storage

• Keep the monitor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Newsoul portable monitor, please refer to the following common solutions:

1. No Signal / Black Screen:
   • Ensure all cables (USB Type-C or Mini HDMI + Power) are securely connected to both the monitor and your device.
   • Verify that your device's output settings are configured to extend or duplicate the display.
   • If using USB Type-C, confirm your device's port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and power delivery.
   • Try a different cable or port on your device if available.
   • Select the correct input source via the OSD menu.
2. No Power / Monitor Not Turning On:
   • Ensure the power cable is connected and receiving power from a sufficient source (e.g., a wall adapter or a powered USB port).
   • If using a single USB Type-C cable, ensure your device provides enough power. Some devices may require an additional power source for the monitor.
3. Display Issues (e.g., flickering, lines, incorrect colors):
   • Check cable connections for looseness or damage.
   • Try adjusting display settings (brightness, contrast, color) in the OSD menu.
   • Test the monitor with a different device or cable to isolate the problem.
   • If a persistent line or defect appears, contact customer support.
4. No Audio:
   • Ensure the volume is not muted or set too low on both the monitor and your connected device.
   • Check that the correct audio output device is selected on your computer.
   • If using external headphones, ensure they are properly plugged into the 3.5mm jack.
