4.1 Connecting via USB-C (Full-featured)

For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (supporting Thunderbolt 3.0/4.0 or USB 3.1 Type-C DP ALT-MODE), you can connect the monitor using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. This cable will transmit both video signal and power to the monitor.

1. Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to a full-featured USB-C port on your device (e.g., laptop, phone, tablet).
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to either of the Type-C ports on the portable monitor.
3. The monitor should automatically detect the signal and power on.

4.2 Connecting via HDMI

When connecting via HDMI, the monitor requires a separate power source.

1. Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your device (e.g., PC, game console).
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the Standard HDMI port on the portable monitor.
3. Connect a USB-C power adapter (not included, recommended 15W+) to one of the monitor's Type-C ports for power.
4. The monitor should power on and display the signal.

If the monitor displays a "No Signal" message or remains blank:

• Device Compatibility: Confirm your device's port supports video output (e.g., full-featured USB-C).
