5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Dual 4K Display Output

The docking station supports connecting up to two external monitors via its HDMI ports, each capable of 4K resolution at 60Hz. This allows for an extended desktop experience, enhancing multitasking and productivity.

• Windows: Supports extended mode (different content on each display) and mirror mode.
• macOS: Due to macOS limitations (Multi-Stream Transport not supported), dual monitors will display the same content (mirror mode) or extend from the laptop display, but not provide two independent extended displays from the dock itself.

5.2 High-Speed Data Transfer

Utilize the USB-C (10Gbps) and USB-A (5Gbps) ports for rapid data transfer with external storage devices, cameras, and other high-bandwidth peripherals. This significantly reduces transfer times for large files, such as 4K videos or extensive photo libraries.

5.3 Power Delivery (PD 100W)

When a compatible USB-C PD power adapter is connected to the docking station's PD input port, it can deliver up to 100W of power to charge your connected laptop. This allows you to power your laptop and use all docking station features simultaneously with a single connection to your device.

Note: A power adapter is not included with the docking station and must be purchased separately.
