4.2. Connecting to Your Laptop (Plug and Play)
The ROYY S2 supports various connection methods for a plug-and-play experience. No drivers are needed for most direct connections.
4.2.1. USB-C to USB-C Connection (Recommended)
If your laptop has two full-featured USB-C ports (supporting video output), connect one USB-C to USB-C cable from the screen extender to each of your laptop's USB-C ports.

If your laptop has only one full-featured USB-C port, you can connect one screen via USB-C to USB-C. For the second screen, use a USB-A to USB-C cable for power and an HDMI to USB-C cable for video output.

7. Troubleshooting
Q: Why does the screen extender show "No Signal"?
A: This typically happens because your laptop does not have a USB-C or HDMI port that supports video output. Ensure your laptop's ports are full-featured (support video/display output). If you have any questions regarding compatibility or encounter any issues, please feel free to reach out to customer support.
Q: How do I know if my laptop is compatible with this screen extender?
A: Your laptop needs to have 1 full-functioning USB-C port (supports video output) or 1 USB-A/USB-C port plus 1 HDMI port (supports video output). Refer to the "Special Compatibility Notes" section for specific incompatible models.
Q: The screen extender does not light up after connecting?
A: It may be that your computer does not have enough power. Please charge the monitor using an external power source that provides 5V/2A power.
Q: What are the laptop size requirements?
A: The laptop screen extender is suitable for 13.3-17 inch laptops with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Please measure your laptop before purchasing.
