How to use

Connect the dock to a compatible laptop or tablet using the USB-C cable.

Insert SD or MicroSD cards into the corresponding slots to access media, attach USB devices to the Type-A ports for peripherals or storage, and connect an HDMI cable from the dock to an external monitor for video output. Plug an Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port to use a wired network connection.

Recommendations

Use the dock on a stable surface and avoid inserting or removing cards and cables while large file transfers are in progress. For optimal video performance, use an HDMI cable and monitor that support the resolution and refresh rate required by your workflow. Keep the host device's USB-C port unobstructed and ensure the system's USB drivers are up to date for reliable operation.
