Power Delivery - Further Information
Due to the VX1655's design please note:
- The first connected device will be the main input signal.
- When a Type C port recognizes an external device as a power adapter, it will only distribute the power. It will NOT display the input signal.
- Only when one of the Type C ports is recognized as a power adapter can the other one deliver two-way power.
If a laptop is connected first to the VX1655, then a mobile phone is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will not be charged as neither Type C port recognizes the connection as being connected to a power adapter.
- NOTE: If you want to display the mobile phone’s screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the laptop.
If a mobile phone is connected first to the VX1655, then a laptop is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will be charged as one of the Type C ports is recognized as being connected to a power adapter.
- NOTE: If you want to display the laptop screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the mobile phone.
Due to the VX1655’s design, do not connect two laptops or one laptop and a desktop computer at the same time. This can cause power distribution conflicts, resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).
- NOTE:
- If the laptop has a Type C port, please connect via Type C to the VX1655.
- Do not connect the other Type C port of the VX1655 to another laptop or desktop computer via Type A and HDMI at the same time.
- If the laptop only has HDMI and Type A ports, please connect via HDMI and Type A to Type C to the VX1655.
- If the power output of the Type A port of the laptop is not greater than 10W, please use our power adapter to connect to the VX1655.
- Do not connect the other Type C port of the VX1655 to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.
