2) Connect the TF card to the PC, use SDFormatter software to format the TF card.

3) Open the Win32DiskImager software, select the system image downloaded in step 1, and click ‘Write’ to write the system image.

4) After the image has finished writing, open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, add the following code at the end of config.txt, then save and quit the TF card safely.

max_framebuffer_height=1920
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=1080 0 112 16 160 1920 0 4 10 10 0 0 0 60 0 140000000 3
extra_transpose_buffer=2
gpu_mem=512#Please change to gpu_mem=256 for Pi Zero series

5) Insert the TF card into the Raspberry Pi

7) Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI port of Raspberry Pi and then power on the Raspberry Pi, it can display normally after waiting for about a few seconds.

Setting orientation

Display orientation

If you are using Pi4, you can rotate in the following ways:

• 1. Open Screen Configuration.

• 2. Rotate the display as a figure.

• 3. The LCD will work normally after you rotate the touch as well.

If you are using Pi 3+/Pi 3 or older versions, use the following method to rotate:

• 1. Add the following line to config.txt file which is located in the BOOT directory.

display_rotate=1 #1：90；2: 180； 3: 270

• 2. Save and reboot Raspberry Pi

sudo reboot

Touch orientation

The Touch of the LCD cannot be changed along with the display, in this case, you should rotate the touch manually after changing the display orientation. With this display, you can rotate the touch by using a card needle or tweezer and pressing the following button.
（To avoid unintended touching, we hide the Rotate Touch button in the case)

Note: The touch orientation may be wrong with a new OS, you can fix it by pressing the Rotate Touch button.

Question:How many watts are the built-in speakers?

 Answer:

There are two speakers, each 8Ω 1W.

Question:How to set the resolution on Raspberry Pi?

 Answer:

Put the TF card into the card reader and insert it into the USB port of the computer, open "My Computer", double-click to enter the "boot" disk, open the "config.txt" file, and copy the following code to the end of the file and save it, then pull out the TF card after the card is installed, reinsert the Raspberry Pi and start it.

Note:
1. If the Raspberry Pi is connected to the Raspberry Pi without modifying the resolution, and an abnormal display such as a blurred screen or burn-in has occurred, just modify the config file according to the above operation, and then power on again to observe, if any residual image or flickering problem is found, power off the screen and let it stand for more than half an hour to recover.
2. If you are using Pi4 or higher, the HDMI cable of the screen needs to be connected to the HDMI0 port of the Raspberry Pi (closer to the power port), otherwise the screen will have a half-flickering horizontal line.
