3. Setup Guide

3.1 Connecting to Your Device

The InnoView portable monitor offers flexible connectivity options. Ensure your device supports video output via USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) or HDMI.

USB-C Connection (Single Cable Solution)

• Connect one end of the provided USB-C full-featured cable to the monitor's USB-C port (ensure it's the video/power input port, often labeled with a display icon).
• Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to your laptop, smartphone, or compatible device's USB-C port that supports video output and power delivery.
• Note: For optimal performance, especially if your device cannot provide sufficient power, connect the monitor to an external 30W power adapter (not included) via the second USB-C port.

HDMI Connection (Requires External Power)

• Connect one end of the provided Standard HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI port.
• Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to your device's HDMI output port.
• Connect the monitor to an external 30W power adapter (not included) using the provided USB-C full-featured cable plugged into one of the monitor's USB-C ports. This is required for HDMI connections.

Figure 3.1: Portable Monitor Connection Guide. The image illustrates two connection scenarios: one using a single USB-C cable for both video and power, and another using an HDMI cable for video with a separate USB-C cable for power.

3.2 Device Compatibility

The InnoView portable monitor is compatible with a wide range of devices:

• Laptops/MacBooks: Connect via USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) or HDMI.
• Smartphones: Compatible with phones supporting USB-C video output (e.g., Samsung DeX, Huawei EMUI Desktop).

3.3 Identifying USB-C Port Capabilities

To ensure proper functionality with a single USB-C cable, verify that your device's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) and power delivery. Look for specific symbols next to your computer's USB-C port:

• DisplayPort Alt Mode: Often indicated by a 'D' symbol or a lightning bolt (Thunderbolt).
• Power Delivery: Indicated by a battery or power icon.

If you see the Thunderbolt symbol, your port is fully compatible. If unsure, consult your device's manufacturer website or technical specifications.

4.2 Display Modes

The monitor supports multiple display modes to suit your needs:

• Duplicate Mode: Mirrors your primary screen, showing the same content on both displays.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your InnoView portable monitor, please refer to the following common solutions:
