3. Setup and Connections
The Prechen portable monitor offers flexible connectivity options to suit various devices. Ensure the monitor receives stable power for optimal performance.
3.1. Connecting with Full-featured USB-C Port (USB-C 3.1)
For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (supporting video, audio, and power delivery), a single USB-C to USB-C cable is sufficient for signal, touch function, and power transmission. This provides a clean, single-cable solution.

Note:
- When connecting devices with higher power requirements (such as gaming devices and some smartphones), the monitor may flicker or not turn on due to insufficient power supply. In such cases, connect the original power adapter to the monitor to ensure stable power before connecting the signal cable.
3.2. Connecting with HDMI and USB-A Ports
If your device does not have a full-featured USB-C port but has HDMI and USB-A ports, you will need to use both a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable for video signal and a USB-A to USB-C cable for touch functionality and power transmission.

7. Troubleshooting
- No Display / No Signal:
- Ensure all cables (USB-C or HDMI/USB-A) are securely connected to both the monitor and your device.
- Verify that the monitor is receiving sufficient power. If using a single USB-C cable, try connecting the external power adapter to the monitor.
- Check your device's display settings to ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly (e.g., Extend, Duplicate).
- Try a different cable or port on your device if available.
- Touch Function Not Working:
- Ensure the USB-A to USB-C cable (for HDMI connections) or the full-featured USB-C cable is connected to a port that supports data transfer for touch.
- Confirm that your operating system supports touchscreen functionality with external displays. (Note: Touch function is not supported on Apple devices, gaming consoles, Fire-TV cube, and Linux systems).
- For Windows, you may need to configure Tablet PC Settings in the Control Panel to ensure touch input is correctly mapped to the portable monitor.
- Flickering Screen:
- This often indicates insufficient power. Connect the external power adapter to the monitor.
- Ensure the display resolution and refresh rate are supported by both the monitor and your connected device.
- No Audio from Built-in Speakers:
- Check your device's audio output settings and ensure the Prechen monitor is selected as the playback device.
- Adjust the volume on both your device and the monitor.
