3. Setup

Follow these instructions to connect your portable monitor to your device.

Connecting via USB-C (Single Cable Solution)

If your device (laptop, phone, etc.) has a full-feature USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and power delivery, you can use a single USB-C to USB-C cable for both video and power.

1. Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to a full-feature USB-C port on your source device.
2. Connect the other end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to either USB-C port on the portable monitor.
3. The monitor should automatically detect the signal and power on.

Connecting via HDMI and USB-C (Dual Cable Solution)

If your device does not have a full-feature USB-C port or if you prefer using HDMI, you will need both an HDMI cable for video and a USB-C cable for power.

1. Connect one end of the Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable to the Mini HDMI port on the portable monitor.
2. Connect the other end of the Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your source device.
3. Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-A cable (or USB-C to USB-C cable) to one of the USB-C ports on the portable monitor.
4. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, laptop USB-A port, or power bank).
5. Ensure the power source provides sufficient power (refer to specifications).

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

No Signal / Black Screen

• Check Cables: Ensure all cables (USB-C, HDMI) are securely connected to both the monitor and the source device.
• Power Supply: Verify the monitor is receiving adequate power. If using HDMI, ensure a separate power source is connected to the monitor's USB-C port.
• Source Device Output: Confirm your source device (laptop, phone) is configured to output video to an external display. On Windows, press Windows Key + P to cycle through display modes. On macOS, check System Preferences > Displays.
• Input Source: Use the OSD menu to manually select the correct input source (USB-C or HDMI).
• USB-C Compatibility: If using a single USB-C cable, ensure your device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and power delivery.

No Power / Monitor Not Turning On

• Power Connection: Ensure the USB-C power cable is connected to a working power source (wall adapter, laptop USB port, power bank).
• Power Source Capacity: Verify the power source provides sufficient wattage for the monitor.
• Try Different Cable/Port: Test with a different USB-C cable or a different USB-C port on the monitor if available.

Display Flickering / Unstable Image
