Note:
CONNECTIVITY
Plugging in
If the device you’re connecting to has a 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. Only use the USB-C
cable supplied with this device, as lower-quality USB-C cables may not be compatible.
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)
Note:
The portable monitor can be connected to a compatible computer using the supplied USBC cable. This must be connected to the primary USB-C port on the monitor’s right side. The
computer will provide power and signal to the monitor and can be used for extended display
or duplicated display use.
Only use the USB-C cable supplied with this device, as lower-quality USB-C cables may not
be compatible.
Computer with full-
Display
Computer (via HDMI & USB-A)
If connecting to a computer without a USB-C port, you can utilise 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 right side.

Depending on the power supplied by the USB port on the computer (display requires

secondary USB-C port on the left of the monitor.

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 right side or the secondary USB-C port on the
monitor’s left side.

If there is no external power supply connected to the secondary USB-C socket on the left 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.

CLEANING & CARE
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.
