CONNECTION OPTIONS
MacBook ports should be compatible even if there are no symbols
next to the port.
Plugging in
If the device you’re connecting to has a USB-C port, connect one end
of the USB-C to USB-C cable to the device and the other end to the
portable monitor.
Some devices may not provide enough power to the monitor. Check the
USB-C port on your device for the symbols shown in the table below.
If you have one of the green checked symbols, then your USB-C port
should proviode both data and enough power to the monitor.
If the monitor won’t turn on, connect a USB-A to USB-C cable along
with an HDMI cable.

Computer (via USB-C)
The portable monitor can be connected to a compatible computer
using the supplied USB-C cable. This must be connected to the primary
USB-C port on the monitor’s left side. The computer will provide power
and signal to the monitor and can be used for extended display or
duplicated display use.
Computer (via HDMI & USB-A)
If connecting to a computer without a USB-C port, you can utilise HDMI
as long as you also provide a power supply. There are two options for
this. The first is to connect the supplied HDMI-to-Mini HDMI cable
between the computer and the portable monitor, while also connecting
to the computer via USB to provide power. Connect the USB-A from the
computer to the primary USB-C port on the monitor’s left side.

(display requires 5V/2A), additional power may need to be supplied
to the monitor through the secondary USB-C port on the right of the
monitor.

Computer (via HDMI & power adapter)
The second option for HDMI connection is to connect the supplied
HDMI-to-Mini HDMI cable between the computer and the portable
monitor, while also connecting the monitor directly to an external power
adapter (supplied) via USB. For this, you can use either the primary
USB-C port on the monitor’s left side, or the secondary USB-C port on
the monitor’s right side.
Mobile phone (via USB-C)
If there is no external power supply connected to the secondary USB-C
socket on the right of the monitor, the mobile phone battery will supply
power to the display. To reduce power usage, the energy-saving mode
will be activated and the display brightness will be reduced to 30%. You
can adjust the brightness and volume of the monitor according to the
output power of the mobile phone.
When connected to an external power supply through the secondary
USB-C port, the display will provide power to the mobile phone
through the external power supply. The brightness of the monitor will
automatically adjusted to 85% when connecting with external power.
