BASE ADJUSTMENT

CONNECTION OPTIONS

Computer (via USB-C)
The portable monitor can be connected to a compatible computer using the supplied USB-C to USB-C cable. This must be connected to the monitor’s primary USB-C port. The computer will provide power and signal to the monitor and can be used for extended display or duplicated display use.

Note:
When connecting the monitor and laptop through full-function USB-C port (one cable solution), the brightness of the monitor will be automatically set low to ensure it can be sufficiently powered by one cable. You can adjust the brightness higher, but the maximum brightness may be limited to a certain amount.
Ensure the laptop’s USB-C port provides over 5V 1A power.

Computer (via HDMI with external power)
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 or secondary USB-C ports.

Mobile phone (via USB-C)
If there is no external power supply connected to the secondary USB-C port, the mobile phone battery will supply power to the display. The mobile phone’s USB-C output must be larger than 5V 1A to provide power without external power. To reduce power usage, the energy-saving mode will be activated and the display brightness will be automatically set low. 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 adjusted when connecting with external power.

Note: If using a power bank (not supplied) as an external power source, it must be larger than 18W. 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 utilise HDMI as long as you also provide a power supply. 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 or secondary USBC ports.

Note:

• 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.
• The touchscreen can only be achieved through USB-C port. The HDMI port cannot support touchscreen.
• The touchscreen function may vary across different devices dependant on their compatibility and operation systems.
• Touchscreen function on MacBook may be limited.

DISPLAY DATA CHANNEL (DDC)

To make installation easier, if your system supports the DDC protocol the monitor is able to plug & play.
The DDC is a communication protocol through which the monitor automatically informs the host system about its capabilities; for example, supported resolutions and corresponding timing. The monitor supports the DDC2B standard.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cord from the electrical outlet.
• When cleaning the antistatic screen, slightly 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.
