Power Delivery - Further Information

Due to the 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 notebook is connected first to the monitor, 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 notebook.


If a mobile phone is connected first to the monitor, then a notebook 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.
