  Note: The docking station can still connect to a host laptop with a USB-C port that does not support USB Power Delivery (must still support DP Alt Mode). In this configuration, the docking station will not provide power to your host laptop.

• An AC electrical outlet

• An HDMI® display with cables as needed

• A 4K-capable display is required to achieve 4K resolution (also known as 4K x 2K)

• Any of the following operating systems:

• Microsoft Windows® 10, 8 / 8.1, or 7

• macOS 10.15, 10.14, 10.13, 10.12, or 10.11

Installing the Docking Station

The docking station will automatically install the required drivers when it’s connected to your laptop’s USB-C port. If you receive a prompt to automatically install the driver(s), follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Powering the Docking Station

When the docking station is plugged in and powered, you can use USB Power Delivery to power and charge your laptop through its USB-C port.
The docking station cannot receive power from the host laptop, therefore it must always be connected to the power adapter.

1. Select the appropriate power cord for your region and connect it to the power adapter.
2. Connect the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet and then to the docking station’s DC 20V power input port.
3. Connect the provided USB-C cable to a USB-C port on your host laptop and to the USB-C host port on the docking station. Both the docking station and your connected laptop should now be receiving power.
   Notes: By default, the docking station power button will be powered on, as soon as the docking station is connected to a power source. If the docking station has been powered off, press the power button to turn the docking station on.
   In order to power and charge your laptop, its USB-C port must support USB Power Delivery.

Connecting Devices to the Docking Station

After completing the steps in the Power the docking station section:

1. Connect the peripheral devices to the appropriate ports on the docking station. Devices may include USB peripherals, headsets, and tablets.
   Notes : The three available USB ports located on the back of the docking station (USB-A) are standard USB 3.0 throughput ports.
   When the docking station is connected to a host laptop, these ports provide a standard USB 3.0 power output to power or charge the connected devices.
   The USB-A port on the front of the docking station is compliant with USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2 (BC1.2), you can use the port to connect and charge a device faster than you can use a standard USB port.
   This front USB port can charge a connected device, even when the docking station isn’t connected to a laptop.

2. Connect the external display to the docking station’s HDMI video port.
   Note: Video output capabilities are dependent on the video card and hardware specifications of your connected host laptop. Some monitors will also limit the available resolution.
