Troubleshooting

No signal on the DisplayPort monitor

Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the source and display. Verify that the DisplayPort input is selected on the monitor. Try connecting the optional USB power cable to a USB port. Test with a different HDMI source or DisplayPort monitor if possible.

Resolution or refresh rate issues (e.g., fuzzy image, low resolution)

Check the display settings on your source device to ensure it is outputting a supported resolution and refresh rate (max 4K@30Hz). Ensure the DisplayPort monitor's firmware is up to date. Use the optional USB power connection.

Intermittent signal loss or flickering

Connect the optional USB Type A power connector to ensure adequate power delivery. Check that all cable connections are secure. Minimize electromagnetic interference by keeping the cable away from other power cords or high-power devices.

Audio not working

Confirm that uncompressed multi-channel audio is enabled in your source device's audio settings. Ensure the HDMI source device is configured to send audio over HDMI. Test with a different audio source if possible.
