How to use

Connect the docking station to a compatible host device using the USB-C host cable. If required, connect an external power adapter to the host device to enable Power Delivery charging up to 100 W. Attach displays to the HDMI and/or VGA outputs depending on the monitor capabilities; the HDMI port supports up to 4K at 60 Hz while VGA provides compatibility with older displays. Plug USB peripherals into the USB-A ports and insert SD or MicroSD cards into the corresponding slots. Connect Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port for wired network access. The docking station uses standard plug-and-play operation with compatible operating systems; no additional drivers are typically required for basic functions.

Recommendations

For reliable display output at 4K60, use a high-quality HDMI cable and ensure the host device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C. When using Power Delivery, verify the host laptop accepts the provided charging profile. For maximum data transfer speeds, connect high-performance storage devices to the USB-A ports and use UHS-II compatible cards in the SD slot when supported by the card and host.
