USB Type-A

Most common USB type seen on Memory Sticks


USB Type-C

Becoming the dominant USB connection, seen commonly on mobiles.



Please check your device and connect with USB-C as the preferred connection is possible, if your device does not support USB-C please connect the converter and plug into your device.


The only difference in connecting your device using USB-C to USB-A is that Type-C charges your device where Type-A does not, all other functionality works.


Once you have connected your laptop using USB Type A or C your device will automatically connect to and display on the TV, not further setup is required.



Tip:

Pressing the windows + P Key on your keyboard once connected to the docking stations allows you to extend or duplicate your screen
