Step 1: Attach the Extender to Your Laptop

1. Gently open the screen extender.

Step 2: Connect the Cables

Choose the appropriate connection method based on your laptop's available ports:

• Option 1: Single USB-C Connection (Full-Featured USB-C Port)

  If your laptop has a full-featured USB-C port (supporting both power and video), use the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the extender's Type-C3 port to your laptop's USB-C port.

• Option 2: USB-A and HDMI Cable Connection

  For laptops without a full-featured USB-C port, connect the provided HDMI to USB-C cable from your laptop's HDMI port to the extender's Type-C3 port. Then, connect the provided USB-A to USB-C cable from your laptop's USB-A port to the extender's Type-C1 or Type-C2 port for power.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the screen extender in its provided travel bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and impacts.
• Handling: Always handle the device with care. Avoid dropping it or applying excessive force to the screen or hinges.

9. Troubleshooting

• No Signal/Screen Flicker:
  • Ensure all cables are securely connected to both the extender and your laptop.

  • Check your laptop's display settings to ensure the external monitor is detected and configured correctly (e.g., Extended or Mirror mode).
• Insufficient Brightness:
  • Connect an external power source to the extender's power port if your laptop's USB-C or USB-A port cannot supply enough power.
  • Adjust the brightness settings on the extender itself.
• Screen Not Turning On:
  • Verify that the extender is receiving power.
  • Try connecting with a different cable or port on your laptop.
