Connecting Configuration

 

Computer via USB-C

 

 

The portable display can be connected to a compatible computer using the supplied USB C cable. This must be connected to the Main USB socket on the left of the display. The computer will provide power and signal to the monitor and can be used for an extended display or duplicated display.

 

Computer via HDMI

 

 

When connecting to a compatible computer using the HDMI interface, you need to connect the supplied HDMI cable between the computer and the display. You should also connect the monitor to the computer via USB, using a USB-A to USB-C cable, connected to the left-hand Main USB C socket on the left of the monitor.

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

 

Mobile Phone via USB-C

 

 

When 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%, and the user 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 Type C port, the display will provide power to the mobile phone through the external power supply. To ensure that the display and the mobile phone can get enough working current, please use a 16W charger or power bank as the external power supply. The brightness of the monitor will automatically be adjusted to 85% when connecting with external power.

Cleaning & Care

 

Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cord from the electrical outlet

When cleaning the anti-static screen, slightly moisten a clean, soft cloth with water. If possible, use a dedicated screen - cleaning tissue or solvent for electrostatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasives, or compressed air.

If you find white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
Be careful when operating the monitor, as dark monitors are easier to scratch and leave visible scratches than light monitors.
