USB Type-C®
Not all USB Type-C® ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C® standard. Some ports might only provide data transfer without supporting Power Delivery or DP Alt Mode over USB.

To use this dock to its full potential, ensure that the host USB Type-C® port of your computer supports USB Power Delivery, DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt® 3. Please consult your host PC documentation or contact the PC manufacturer to confirm compatibility with these technologies. For safety, check whether the host PC Bios Version is the latest or not and confirm compatibility with USB Type-C® Power Delivery and/or DP Alt Mode before application.

Information about the attached USB Type-C® to Type-A adapter.For better connection compatibility with host computers that only have a USB 3.0 Type-A interface, we have added an additional USB Type-C® to Type-A adapter attached to the cable. Should you wish to use this adapter on your computer, please note the following technical restriction when using the docking station via a Type-A port: In this case the Type-A interface does in no way support DisplayPort® Alt Mode, which is a prerequisite for the HDMI® 3 interface to function and the Power Delivery charging option.

Attention!

• In case your computer supports only the DP Alt Mode protocol, and DisplayLink® drivers are not installed:
  Only Display 3 (3840×2160@30 Hz) interface can be used.

• In case your computer does not support the DP Alt Mode protocol, and only USB 3.0 and installed DisplayLink® drivers are available:
  Only Display 1 (3840×2160@60 Hz) and Display 2 (3840×2160@60 Hz) interfaces can be used.

• In case your computer supports both, the DP Alt Mode protocol and USB 3.0 with installed DisplayLink® drivers:
