Can I connect two 4K monitors at 60Hz?
Yes, the dock supports connecting two displays simultaneously at up to 4K 60Hz when using the DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, provided your host computer supports DisplayPort 1.4 Alternate Mode and MST.
What is the maximum resolution for a single display?

The dock features three USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C port, all supporting SuperSpeed 10Gbps data transfer.
Is this docking station compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4?
Yes, it is compatible with computers that have Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports, as these ports typically support USB4 and DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
Does it support wired internet connection?

What is the warranty period for this product?
The Lindy DST-Pro USB4 docking station comes with a 2-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
No video output to external displays
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the laptop and the dock. Verify the host computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C. Check that the correct input is selected on the monitor. Try a different display cable or port on the dock. For dual displays, ensure your OS supports MST (macOS does not).
Laptop is not charging
Confirm that a compatible USB-C Power Delivery adapter (minimum 65W recommended, up to 100W supported) is connected to the dock's PD input port and is plugged into a power outlet. Ensure the PD adapter is sufficient for your laptop's power requirements. Check the USB-C PD cable connection.
Slow network speeds
Ensure a stable Gigabit Ethernet cable is used and securely connected to both the dock and the router/switch. Verify that your network infrastructure supports Gigabit speeds. Check the Ethernet settings on your laptop.
USB devices not recognized or functioning intermittently
Try connecting the USB device to a different USB port on the dock. Ensure the USB device is compatible and does not require more power than the port can supply. If using a high-power USB device, consider connecting it via a powered USB hub or directly to the laptop.
Card reader not working
Ensure the SD or MicroSD card is properly inserted into the correct slot. Try a different memory card to rule out a card issue. Make sure the card is formatted and not corrupted.
