To quickly lock your screen when stepping away from your desk, simply press the top button on the docking station once. This will activate your computer's screen lock, providing immediate privacy.

Energy Saving Mode

To activate the Energy Saving Mode, press and hold the top button on the docking station for approximately 2 seconds. In this mode, all ports except the Power Delivery (PD) input port will be intelligently disconnected. This allows your laptop to continue charging while conserving power for other connected devices, ideal for when you are away from your desk but still need to charge.

Dual Monitor Display Configuration

The docking station supports dual 4K displays. The display behavior varies depending on your operating system:

Windows OS Display Modes

Image: Visual representation of various display configurations possible with Windows, including extended and duplicated modes across multiple monitors.

Windows operating systems support Multi-Stream Transport (MST), allowing for extended desktop across multiple independent displays (e.g., A+B+C). You can configure your displays to extend, duplicate, or show only on one screen via Windows Display Settings.

Windows Display Resolution Capabilities

Display Standard	DP1.2	DP 1.4 with DSC	DP1.4 without DSC
Single Monitor	4K@30Hz	4K@60Hz	4K@60Hz
Dual Monitor	1080p@60Hz	4K@60Hz	2K@60Hz

macOS Display Modes

Image: Visual representation of display configurations for macOS, indicating that dual monitors will display the same content due to MST limitations.

Important Note for macOS Users: macOS does not support Multi-Stream Transport (MST). Therefore, when using dual monitors with this docking station on macOS, both external monitors will display the same content (mirroring your primary display or each other). They cannot be configured as independent extended displays (e.g., A+B+C is not supported, only A+B+B or A+A+A).

macOS Display Resolution Capabilities

Display Standard	DP1.2	DP1.4
Single Monitor	4K@30Hz	4K@60Hz
Dual Monitor	4K@30Hz	4K@60Hz

Troubleshooting

• No Display Output:
  • Ensure the docking station is properly connected to your laptop's USB-C port and a 100W PD power adapter.
  • Check that HDMI cables are securely connected to both the docking station and your monitors.
  • Verify your laptop's display settings are configured to detect and use external monitors.
  • Try restarting your laptop.
• Monitors Displaying Same Content (macOS):
  • This is expected behavior for macOS due to its lack of Multi-Stream Transport (MST) support. Both external monitors will mirror each other or your primary display. This is not a defect of the docking station.
• Slow Data Transfer Speeds:
  • Ensure you are using USB 3.0/3.1 compatible devices and cables for optimal speeds.
  • Verify that your laptop's USB-C port supports the necessary data transfer protocols (e.g., USB 3.1 Gen 2 for 10Gbps).
• Laptop Not Charging:
  • Confirm you are using a 100W USB-C Power Delivery (PD) adapter connected to the docking station's PD input port.
  • Check the power adapter and cable for damage.
  • Ensure your laptop supports USB-C PD charging.
• Ethernet Connection Issues:
  • Check the Ethernet cable connection to both the docking station and your router/modem.
  • Verify network settings on your laptop.
  • Try restarting your router/modem.
