CONNECTION OPTIONS
Plugging in
If the device you’re connecting to has o USB-C port, connect one end of the
USB-C to USB-C cable to the device and the other end to the portable monitor.
Some devices may not provide enough power to the monitor. Check the USB-C port
on your device for the symbols shown in the table below. If you have one of
the green checked symbols, then your USB-C port should provide both data and
enough power to the monitor.
MacBook ports should be compatible even if there are no symbols next to the
port.
If the monitor won’t turn on,
connect a USB-A to USB-C cable along with an HDMI cable.
Computer (via USB-C)
The portable monitor can be connected to a compatible computer using the
supplied USB cable. This must be connected to the primary USB-C port on the
monitor’s left side. The computer will provide power and signal to the monitor
and can be used for an extended display or duplicated display use.
Computer (via HDMI & USB-A)
If connecting to o computer without a USB-C port, you can utilize HDMI as long
as you also provide a power supply. There are two options for this. The first
is to connect the supplied HDMI-to-Mini HDMI cable between the computer and
the portable monitor, while also connecting to the computer via USB to provide
power. Connect the USB-A from the computer to the primary USB-C port on the
monitor’s left side.
Depending on the power supplied by the USB port on the computer (display requires 5V/2A), additional power may need to be supplied to the monitor through the secondary USB-C port on the right of the monitor.
Computer (via HDMI & power adapter)
The second option for HDMI connection is to connect the supplied HDMI-to-Mini
HDMI cable between the computer and the portable monitor, while also
connecting the monitor directly to an external power adapter (supplied) via
USB. For this, you can use either the primary USB-C port on the monitor’s left
side of the secondary USB-C port on the monitor’s right side.
Mobile phone (via USB-C)
If there is no external power supply connected to the secondary USB-C socket
on the right of the monitor, the mobile phone battery will supply power to the
display. To reduce power usage, the energy-saving mode will be activated and
the display brightness will be reduced to 30%. You can adjust the brightness
and volume of the monitor according to the output power of the mobile phone.
When connected to an external power supply through the secondary USB-C port,
the display will provide power to the mobile phone through the external power
supply. The brightness of the monitor will automatically be adjusted to 85%
when connecting with external power.
If using a power bank (not supplied) as an external power source, it must be larger than 16W. Power banks can be used as external power for every connection shown here, not just mobile phones.
Other devices (via HDMI & USB or power adapter)
If connecting to a device without a USB-C port, you can utilize HDMI as long
as you also provide a power supply. There are two options for this. The first
is to connect the supplied HDMI-to-Mini HDMI cable between the device and the
portable monitor, while also connecting to the device via USB to provide
power. Connect the USB-A from the device to the primary USB-C port on the
monitor’s left side.
The second option for HDMI connection is to connect the supplied HDMI-to-Mini
HDMI cable between the device and the portable monitor, while also connecting
the monitor directly to an external power adapter (supplied) via USB. For
this, you can use either the primary USB-C port on the monitor’s left side of
the secondary USB-C port on the monitor’s right side.
When connecting a device using HDMI, to ensure the smooth transmission of the signal be sure to connect the power cable first, then connect the HDMI.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cord from the electrical outlet.
- When cleaning the antistatic screen, lightly dampen a clean, soft cloth with water. If possible, use a dedicated screen-cleaning tissue or solvent for electrostatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasives, or compressed air.
- If you find white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
- Be careful when operating the monitor, as dark monitors are easier to scratch and leave visible scratches than light monitors.
