Setup
Connecting Your Monitor
The MINIX SF10T Portable Monitor offers versatile connection options. Ensure your device supports the necessary output modes for full functionality.
Option 1: USB-C to USB-C Connection (Full Function)
This method provides power, video, and touch functionality through a single cable.
- Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C Power Cable to the USB-C power input port of the monitor, and connect the other end to an electrical socket using the provided power adapter.
- Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C Video Cable to the USB-C video interface of the monitor, and connect the other end to your laptop or PC.
Important Note:
- Ensure the USB-C port on your connected device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video transmission, data sync, and charging.
- If the monitor is not connected to a separate power source (e.g., wall charger or power bank), it will enter power-saving mode. In this mode, brightness and volume default to 50%. Adjustments will not be saved when the monitor enters power-saving mode.
