How to Connect Laptops
A: Laptops With At Least 2 Full-Function USB-C Ports
If your laptop has two full-function USB-C ports, you can connect the S10 directly to your laptop with USB-C to USB-C cables.
- Screen 1: Connect using 1 x USB-C to USB-C Cable (Supply Power & Video Signal Transmission).
- Screen 2: Connect using 1 x USB-C to USB-C Cable (Supply Power & Video Signal Transmission).
Note: For quick identification of the full-function USB-C port, refer to the port symbols: Thunderbolt icon, 'D' or 'DP' symbol.
B: Laptops With At Least 1 Full Function USB-C Port + 1 HDMI Port + 1 USB-A Port
If your laptop has 1 full-function USB-C port, 1 USB-A port, and 1 HDMI port:
- Connect Screen 1 using the USB-C to USB-C cable.
- Connect Screen 2 using the HDMI to Mini-HDMI cable for video and the USB-A to USB-C cable for power.
Note: If the display has no signal or the signal is unstable after connection, use the USB-A to USB-C cable to connect an external 5V/2A power adapter to power the laptop.
How to Identify A Full-Function USB-C Port
- Look at your laptop's USB-C ports and find the Thunderbolt icon, 'D' or 'DP' symbol next to it (DP means DisplayPort). If these icons are present, the ports are full-function USB-C ports. The symbols may look like: ⚡, SS, P, SS⚡, SSD, SSD⚡.
- If you don't see these symbols, check your laptop's manual to see if your USB-C port supports display output or if the manual mentions "DP Alt-Mode".
- If you are unsure of your laptop's compatibility, contact the laptop manufacturer with your laptop's brand and model to determine compatibility.
