5. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your portable monitor extender:

Step 1: Attach the Extender to Your Laptop

Carefully place the screen extender onto the top edge of your laptop screen. Ensure it is securely positioned.

Place the screen extender securely on top of your laptop's display.

Step 2: Connect Cables

The connection method varies depending on your laptop's operating system and available ports.

For Windows Laptops:

If your Windows laptop has a full-featured USB-C port (supporting DP Alt-Mode), you only need one USB-C to USB-C cable for power, video, and audio. Connect this cable to the full-function Type-C port on the extender and your laptop.

Single USB-C cable connection for Windows laptops with a full-featured USB-C port.

For macOS Laptops:

For macOS devices, two USB-C to USB-C cables are typically required. Connect one cable to the Type-C 1 port (video only for macOS) and the other to the Type-C 2/3 port (full-function) on the extender, then connect both to your MacBook's Thunderbolt ports. Note that MacBooks with M1/M2/M3/M4 chips may only extend one screen or duplicate two screens.

Dual USB-C cable connection for macOS laptops.

Step 3: Adjust the Kickstand

Adjust the built-in kickstand on the back of the extender to provide stable support and protect your laptop's hinge. The kickstand supports up to a 120° adjustment angle.

Adjust the kickstand to achieve a stable and comfortable viewing angle.

Step 4: Adjust View Angle

The screens can rotate up to 270° individually, allowing you to customize the viewing angle for optimal comfort and collaboration.

Rotate the screens to your preferred viewing angle.

Compatibility Notes

The screen extender is compatible with laptops ranging from 14 to 16 inches. For smaller laptops (13.3-15.6 inches), silicone pads can be used for a more secure fit. Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports DP Alt-Mode for single-cable functionality on Windows.
