Notes and Features

Notes

• The USB downstream port does not provide power while the monitor switch is off. USB output: 5V/2.1A.
• In some circumstances when using USB 3.0 devices (hard drives or flash drives) and 2.4GHz USB wireless devices (for example wireless mouse, keyboard, or headphone) at the same time, USB 3.0 devices radio frequency interference may impact on 2.4GHz USB wireless devices, resulting in a drop in throughput on the wireless transmission. Users may experience delayed response to mouse or keyboard inputs, missing keyboard characters or mouse commands, or decreased operating distance between the 2.4 GHz USB wireless device and its receiver.
• To reduce radio frequency interference: 1. Move the wireless dongle away from the USB 3.0 device as much as possible. 2. If the USB wireless receiver and USB 3.0 device must be connected on the same side, position your USB wireless receiver as close as possible to your wireless peripheral device (mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc.). Alternatively, use a standard USB extender cable or Hub to position your USB wireless receiver as far away as possible from your USB 3.0 port.
• Audio output is only for audio output models. Please check the user manual for more instructions.
