How to use

Connect the docking station to your laptop or tablet using the integrated or supplied USB-C cable. Attach an HDMI cable from the hub to an external monitor or projector and configure display settings on the host device to extend or mirror the screen. Plug a network cable into the Gigabit Ethernet port for wired internet access and connect USB-A peripherals as needed. If charging is required, connect the laptop’s USB-C power adapter to the hub’s PD input so the host receives power while other ports remain active. Most operating systems will recognize the hub automatically; check display and network settings if manual configuration is necessary.

Recommendations

Use a USB-C power adapter that meets your laptop’s required wattage to ensure effective charging through the PD passthrough. For stable video and network performance, use high-quality HDMI and Ethernet cables and place the hub in a well-ventilated area to avoid overheating during extended use.
