Connecting to Power
The monitor can be powered in any of the following configurations:
- Type C Connection
- Type A Connection
- Power Adapter
Connecting External Devices
Your external device(s) can be connected in any of the following configurations:
- Type C Connection
Connect a Type C cable from your external device to a Type C port on the monitor. - Micro HDMI Connection
- Connect the HDMI cable from your external device to the micro HDMI port on the monitor.
- Connect the USB Type A to Type C cable from your external device.
Note: The USB Type A to Type C connection will also supply power to the monitor from the laptop. The power output must be greater than 10W. - Audio Connection
Plug the audio jack of the ear-/headphones into the Audio Out port of the monitor. Additionally, you can connect the monitor to a sound bar using an audio cable.
Power Delivery
Powering a laptop or Mobile Phone
If the included power adapter is connected to the monitor, then the monitor can charge a connected laptop or mobile phone.
Power Supply Detection
This product will detect if the power supply device is an adapter, laptop or mobile phone.
- If the power source is an adapter or laptop, the default brightness value will be 100.
- If the power source is a mobile phone, the default brightness value will be 15.
- When using a mobile phone to power the monitor, the default brightness level will be 15.
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 laptop 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.
If a mobile phone is connected first to the monitor, 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.
Due to the monitor’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).
- If the laptop has a Type C port, please connect via Type C to the monitor.
- Do not connect the other Type C port of the monitor 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 monitor.
- 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 monitor.
- Do not connect the other Type C port of the monitor to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.
Tilt Angle Adjustment
The monitor has a double-hinged stand that allows for several viewing angles (20˚ to 55.5˚).
- Tilt Option 1
- Tilt Option 2
- Tilt Option 3
Screen Orientation Adjustment (Monitor Pivot)
- Extend the monitor’s stand to the longest position.
- Rotate the monitor 90° clockwise or counter clockwise from landscape to portrait orientation.
- To rotate the screen image, manually change the system’s display orientation settings.
- When adjusting, make sure to hold both sides of your monitor firmly with both hands.
