How to use

Attach the BenQ LaptopBar to the top edge of a laptop screen or monitor according to the manufacturer’s mounting method, ensuring a secure fit. Connect the USB cable to a laptop USB port, USB power adapter, or compatible USB hub that provides 5 V and up to 1.5 A. Adjust the position to direct light onto the keyboard and workspace while avoiding direct reflection on the display. Power the unit on and set brightness as needed following the product controls.

Recommendations

Position the light so the beam illuminates the keyboard and immediate desk area rather than shining directly onto the display surface; use a stable USB power source rated for 5 V/1.5 A to ensure consistent brightness and avoid using ports that may enter low-power mode.
