How to Use

Working with PC

This LCD supports Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 when working with a PC via an HDMI interface.

1. Long-press the ON/OFF button for 1-2 seconds, and the backlight of the LCD will turn on.
【Note】: If the LCD does not respond after pressing the ON/OFF button, please use a 5V power adapter to connect to the DC interface of the LCD for charging. For the '15.6inch FHD Monitor for EU', the specification of the power adapter is 5V/3A.

2. Connect the Touch interface of the LCD to the USB port of the PC by USB cable. The touch function is enabled after that.

3. Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI interface of the PC by HDMI cable. LCDs normally after seconds.

Note:
1) When the PC is connected to multiple monitors at the same time, the touch effect works on the main screen by default, if you want to specify touch to the secondary screen, see #Specifies Touch to Secondary Screen (Windows).
2) Some PCs do not support HDMI devices plug-and-play, generally after rebooting the system can be used normally.
3) Some PCs may not have enough power supply for the USB interface, resulting in LCD flicker, which can be used normally after accessing the external 5V/2A power supply through the DC interface.
4) Only when the HDMI communication, HP audio output can be used normally.
