Connect one end of the Type-C to Type-C cable to a full-featured USB-C port on your laptop/PC.
Connect the other end to one of the USB-C ports on the portable monitor.
The monitor should automatically detect the signal and power on.

Using HDMI and USB-C (for power):

Connect one end of the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable to the Mini HDMI port on the monitor.
Connect the other end to the HDMI port on your laptop/PC.
Connect one end of the USB-A to Type-C cable (or Type-C to Type-C cable) to a power source (e.g., laptop USB port, wall adapter) and the other end to a USB-C port on the monitor for power.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Iproda portable monitor, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning the Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for electronics. Gently wipe the screen to remove dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, or abrasive materials.
Cleaning the Casing: Wipe the monitor's casing with a soft, dry cloth.
Storage: When not in use, store the monitor in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If transporting, use a protective sleeve or case to prevent scratches and impacts.
Avoid Liquids: Keep the monitor away from liquids. In case of accidental spills, immediately disconnect power and allow it to dry completely before use.
Handle with Care: Avoid dropping or subjecting the monitor to strong impacts.

7. Troubleshooting

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

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No signal / Black screen	Incorrect input source selected. Cable not properly connected. Device not outputting video. Insufficient power. Device (e.g., phone/tablet) does not support USB-C video output.	Press the OSD button and navigate to 'Input Source' to manually select the correct input (USB-C or HDMI). Ensure all cables (video and power) are securely connected to both the monitor and the source device. Verify your source device is powered on and configured to output video to an external display. Ensure the monitor is receiving adequate power. If using HDMI, a separate USB-C power connection is required. Confirm your smartphone/tablet's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output. Not all USB-C ports have this capability.
No sound from speakers	Monitor volume is too low or muted. Source device volume is too low or muted. Audio output is directed elsewhere.	Press the Volume button on the monitor and increase the volume. Check if it's muted in the OSD menu. Increase the volume on your connected device. Ensure your device's audio output is set to the portable monitor.
Screen flashes or flickers	Loose cable connection. Graphics driver issue. Initial detection by OS.	Check and re-secure all cable connections. Update your graphics drivers on your laptop/PC. A brief flicker during initial connection or mode change is normal as the operating system detects and configures the display.
Poor image quality	Incorrect resolution. Brightness/contrast settings.	Ensure your device's display settings are set to the monitor's native resolution (1920x1080). Adjust brightness, contrast, and color settings via the OSD menu.
