Follow these steps to connect your portable monitor to your device.
4.1. Connecting via USB-C (Single Cable)
If your device (laptop, smartphone) has a full-featured USB-C port that supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and power delivery, you can connect the monitor with a single USB-C to USB-C cable.
- Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to the USB-C port on your device.

4.2. Connecting via HDMI and USB-A (Two Cables)
If your device does not have a full-featured USB-C port, you can use the HDMI and USB-A ports for connectivity. This method requires two cables: one for video and one for power.
- Connect one end of the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to the Mini HDMI port on the monitor.
- Connect the other end of the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your device.
- Connect one end of the USB-A to USB-C cable to a USB-A port on your device (or a power adapter).
- Connect the other end of the USB-A to USB-C cable to the USB-C power input port on the monitor.
