Troubleshooting

No video output to external display

Ensure the host device's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode). Verify the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the dock and the display. Try a different HDMI cable or display. Confirm the display is set to the correct input source.

USB devices not recognized or not charging

Check that the USB devices are properly connected to the USB-A ports. Ensure the host device is powered on. For charging, connect a PD 3.0-compliant charger to the USB-C PD port. If using the dedicated fast-charging USB-A port, verify the host device supports USB OTG.

No Ethernet connection

Confirm the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the dock's RJ45 port and the network source. Ensure the cable is functional. Check your device's network settings to ensure the wired connection is enabled.

Memory card not reading

Ensure the memory card is correctly inserted into the appropriate slot (SD or MicroSD). Try using a different memory card to rule out card issues. Both card slots can be used simultaneously.

Device not charging via USB-C PD port

Verify that the AC wall charger connected to the USB-C PD port is compatible with USB Power Delivery 3.0 and provides sufficient wattage (up to 100W). Ensure the connected device is PD Charging-compliant. Note that this port does not support Quick Charge (QC).
