Q3:

My monitor does not start up with my
stand alone desktop PC. I cannot see
anything with Desktop PC.

Ans.: Please note that the USB monitor not

designed to work with DOS yet. It
is meant to be used as a “secondary
display”, therefore it must be used with
a Laptop type of computer which has
a permanent primary display attached
to it. This is because USB monitor will
display images only after the Windows
login screen appears, as by then the
monitor is recognized by the system.

Q4:

Can I use my PC on Linux/ Apple
system (systems other than Windows).

Ans.: Not at the moment.

Q5:

I cannot find any adjustments on the
monitor.

Ans.: As the monitor works directly from

USB ports, it does not require any
adjustments at all. It is fully plug and play.

Q6:

I cannot find power on off button on
the montior.

Ans.: You do not require any power button

as there is no direct power connection
for the monitor. Once you shut off your
laptop, or remove the USB connectors,
the monitor will turn off completely.

Q7:

Do I need to use USB 2.0 or USB 3.0
ports?

Ans.: You can use both technologies from

the PC side. The monitor has USB 2.0
input.
