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 |
