5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Triple Aero monitor extender, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Storage: When not in use, fold the unit neatly. Its ultra-slim design allows it to fit into a standard laptop bag. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: While the unit features reinforced hinges and a durable aluminum build, avoid excessive force when adjusting or folding the screens. Handle cables carefully to prevent damage to connectors.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Triple Aero monitor extender, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Display on Screens:
- Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the PD USB-C port and a working power outlet.
- Verify that all video cables (USB-C, HDMI) are firmly connected to both the Triple Aero and your laptop.
- Check your laptop's display settings to ensure the external monitors are detected and configured correctly (e.g., 'Extend these displays' or 'Duplicate these displays').
- Confirm that the necessary drivers are installed. If not, download and install them from www.aura-displays.com.
- Screens Not Detected:
- Restart your laptop with the Triple Aero connected.
- Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode if using a single USB-C cable for video.
- Update your laptop's graphics drivers.
- Poor Image Quality or Flickering:
- Check cable connections for looseness or damage. Try using different cables if available.
- Ensure your laptop's graphics settings are configured for the native resolution of the monitors (1920x1080).
- Verify that the 65W PD power supply is connected and functioning, as insufficient power can affect display stability.
- Hinges Feel Loose:
- The Triple Aero features reinforced hinges designed for durability. If you experience unusual looseness, contact customer support.
- Driver Installation on Company Laptops:
- On company-issued laptops, user permissions may require advance approval from your IT department to install new drivers. Consult your IT support if you face installation issues.
