Note:

• Refer to the actual monitor to find the exact locations of the interfaces and buttons.
• For MacBook users: This monitor is only compatible with MacBook Intel/M1/M2/M3 Pro & Max.

Selecting the Right Cables

• To determine which cables to use, first identify your laptop’s ports using the pictures below or reference your laptop’s user guide.
• If your laptop has two Thunderbolt3/4 / USB-C with DP ports, the simplest way to use the monitor is with the two provided USB-C cables.
• If your laptop does not have any Thunderbolt3/4 / USB-C with DP ports, you will need to use one USB-A to USB-C cable and one HDMI to Mini-HDMI cable for each screen.
• If your laptop does not have an HDMI port, then you can use any other video output ports shown below with an HDMI adapter (not provided).

Protective Caps

• If your laptop is an ultra-thin style (laptop screen thickness ≤6mm), using the protective caps helps to reduce shaking.

CONNECTIVITY

Two USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 Ports

• If there are 2 full-function USB-C or 2 Thunderbolt 3/4 ports on the laptop, use the 2 included USB-C cables to connect the laptop to the monitor screens.
• Note: Ensure that the laptop USB-C ports support power & data transmission and have enough power supply above 5V/2A.
• Some USB-C ports may not be able to transmit currents above 5V/2A. Connect an external power supply to better use the monitor.
• Notes:  Ensure the USB-C port of your laptop is a full function USB-C port (supports both video & data transmission).
• Ensure 5V/2A or above power can be supported through the USB-C port. An external power supply of 5V/2A or above is needed for normal use (adjust brightness above 50).

Full Function USB-C and HDMI Port Connection

If there is one full-function USB-C port and one HDMI port on the laptop.

1. Use the provided USB-C cable to connect one side of the monitor and the laptop.
2. Meanwhile, use the HDMI cable and an extra power supply (USB-C to USB-A cable) to connect the other side of the monitor and the laptop.

Note: The HDMI port does not provide power, so the monitor must be plugged into a power supply (5V/2A or above).

Other Connection Type (Extra Adapter Needed)

If you lack enough HDMI ports for connection, find a suitable HDMI hub for your laptop. You need to use 4 cables with an extra hub for connection.

1. First, connect one side of your monitor to the laptop with an HDMI and a USB-C to USB-A cord.
2. Second, connect the HDMI hub to your laptop.
3. Finally, connect the other side of your monitor with another HDMI and USB-C to USB-A cable.
