4. Close the bag and fold neatly over the rear of the monitor. Place the upper Styrofoam tray on top of the monitor in the box.
5. Undo the screw, separating the base from the stand and place both pieces in is the upper foam packaging tray.

Connecting Audio Devices

The audio port on the display only supports output devices such as headphones and speakers. It is not possible to connect microphones or other input devices to this port. Headphones with built in microphones can be connected to this port, however the microphone will not function. To send audio from your computer to the display speakers or connected audio device, select “32C4KPD” as the audio destination in your computer’s sound settings.

Connecting USB Devices

The display includes two USB A ports that can be used to attach USB peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse or webcam to the computer. In order for the computer to see devices attached to these ports, the computer must be connected to either (or both) of the USB-C and/or USB-B ports.
Notes: – If the computer is only connected to the USB-C port on the display the ports will operate at USB 2.0 speeds because video traffic shares the USB-C cable with the USB data. This speed is sufficient for most peripherals such as keyboards, mice and webcams. – If the computer is connected to the USB-B port on the display, the ports will operate at USB 3.0 speeds. This is preferable if using high speed storage devices such as external hard drives and USB flash drives.

Mounting Options

The monitor has 100 × 100mm spaced mounting holes to allow it to be mounted to any compatible 100mm VESA standard monitor arm or wall mount accessory (not included). The mounting holes are recessed in the region on the back of the monitor where the stand attaches and are hidden by the stand when it is installed. VESA mounts cannot be used with the monitor while the stand is attached. M4 threaded mounting spacers are included with the monitor which must be used when mounting the monitor to a monitor arm or other mount. Mount the monitor to a VESA mounting accessory as follows.

1. Lay the monitor face down in its Styrofoam packaging tray. Do not attempt to lay the screen on any uneven surface including soft surfaces such as carpet and seating while attaching the mounting accessory – damage to the screen may occur.
2. Locate the mounting spacers in the accessory bag that comes with the monitor. With the monitor laying in its Styrofoam tray, screw in the four spacers into the holes in the recess where the stand attaches. Do not over tighten – tightening the spacers too much may cause damage to the monitor.
3. Screw the VESA mounting accessory into the mounting spacers. Do not apply pressure to the rear of the monitor while fitting the mounting accessory – downwards pressure on the screen may crack or otherwise damage it.
4. Carefully lift the monitor and mounting accessory out of the tray and place into position.

Ensure there is 50mm clearance around all sides of the monitor when it is installed to ensure that is does not overheat.

Connecting the Monitor

• Connecting the Power
  Cable Connect the included power cable to the power connector, and then plug the other end into a wall outlet.

• Connecting a Video Source
  The monitor includes four video inputs which can be connected simultaneously. To connect a computer or other source device, plug one of the included HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C cables into the computer and into a corresponding port on the monitor.

Notes:

• The USB-C connection will provide up to 65W of power to computers which support USB Power Delivery (USB PD). This allows the computer to display video on the monitor while being charged over a single cable. As a result, the USB-C connection type is the best option if your computer has this capability.
• Depending on the capabilities of the computer it may not be able to provide 4K at a full 60Hz refresh rate if connected to the monitor using HDMI. The USB-C or DisplayPort connection should be used as a first preference if the computer supports these connection types. Not all USB-C ports on computers support video output and/or charging using USB PD. If your computer does not show video on the monitor or start charging when connected to the monitor using USB-C, check that the USB-C port on the computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode video output and USB PD charging.
• Not all USB-C cables support video transfer or charging above 60W. It is recommended that you use the USB-C cable supplied with the monitor to avoid potential issues with cables that have been obtained separately.
• Audio Output The display features inbuilt speakers as well as an audio output jack to allow headphones and external speakers to be connected.

When an external audio device is connected, the display’s on-board speakers will be disabled.
