PRECAUTIONS
You need to know the following things before you buy this docking station:
-
Please check the version of the Type-C port on your device, as well as whether or not it is compatible with DisplayPort Alt Mode and how much bandwidth it supports. If you are unable to identify it, please do not hesitate to inform us; we encourage people to send us information regarding compatibility whenever possible.
-
Compatible and incompatible devices (not all series; for a more detailed compatibility list, please refer to the ‘User Guide.pdf’ document that may be found in the ‘Technical Specification’ section below.):
Compatible with the Dell XPS 13/15, the Dell Latitude/Precision, the HP Specter x360/ZBook, the Lenovo Yoga/ThinkPad X1 Carbon/X1 Extreme, the MSI GS65/GS75, the MacBook, and the Huawei Pro (only for iOS versions 13.0 and later). Incompatible with laptops that do not have USB-C ports, such as the majority of the Acer series, the Surface Laptop 3, the Apple USB SuperDrive, and the Nintendo Switch. -
When it comes to MacBooks, the macOS display troubleshooting tool can only expand a single monitor. It was only visible on monitors that mirrored it. macOS has a flaw in it due to the fact that the Thunderbolt 3 interface on Macbooks employs the Single-Stream Tree.
-
Prior to attaching an external hard drive or several devices to the docking station, you must first plug the power adapter for the laptop into the port that is designated for USB-C Power Delivery. Because it will provide the fastest charge speed and HP and Dell do not allow third-party chargers to charge their laptops, you should use the original charger directly to connect the laptop to charge if it has an AC adapter. If your laptop does not have an AC adapter, you should use the original charger.
-
The Problem with Resolution When you connect several displays, the resolution will be automatically adjusted so that it is compatible with the maximum bandwidth provided by the port on your device. if your device has Thunderbolt 3/4, for example, it will only support a maximum of two monitors at 4K and 30Hz.
-
Once you plug in the monitors, the screen can go dark for a few seconds because of the process of EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) communication. The amount of time it takes to recuperate is variable and can take up to one minute at most.
-
The HDMI-Displayport cable is only capable of transferring signals from Displayport to HDMI; it does not support signals going in the opposite direction.
