b) AC adapter
• The design of the plug-in power adapter complies with IEC Protection Class II (double insu-
lated electrical appliances). Use only a standard mains socket as the power source for the
power adapter.
• The power socket into which the power adapter is inserted must be easily accessible.
• Only use the power adapter provided to power the docking station.
• Do not pull the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable. Hold it on the
sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.
• Never touch a power adapter that shows signs of damage, as this could cause a fatal electric
shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the power adapter is connected
(switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or, for example,remove the safety fuse or
switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that the socket is fully disconnected).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty power
adapter in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any more. Replace it with a power
adapter of the same design.
c) Operation
• The product is only intended for use in dry indoor locations. No part of the product should
become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
Power adapters pose the potential risk of a fatal electric shock!
• Choose a stable, even, flat and sufficiently large surface for setting up the docking station.
• Never use the product immediately after moving it from a cold room into a warm one. The
condensation that forms may damage the product under certain circumstances. A power unit
also carries the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power supply and
putting it into use. In some cases, this may take several hours.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor pinched.

Getting started
• Switch on your computer, if not done yet, and wait until the operating system has finished loading.
• Insert the enclosed CD into the corresponding drive on your computer. If the installation program does not
start automatically, open the CD main directory and start the “setup.exe“ program. Follow all instructions
given by the software or Windows.
Latest drivers are available at www.displaylink.com.
• Afterwards, it may be necessary to restart.
• Connect the round low voltage plug of the enclosed power adapter to the corresponding connector on the
back of the docking station.
• Connect the power adapter to the mains voltage; i.e. plug it into a mains socket.
• Connect the USB type C™ connector of the docking station to an available USB connector on your com-
puter.
A conventional USB2.0 port cannot deliver the required amounts of data (for the image display
on the connected monitors) and is thus not suitable for the docking station. Therefore, use a
USB3.0 or USB3.1 port.
• Place the docking station on a level, firm and sufficiently large area.
Protect valuable furniture surfaces by using a suitable mat to prevent scratches or pressure
points.
• Switch the docking station on. The power LED (11) lights up. At the first startup, Windows may find new
hardware and will install the required drivers. The screen may flicker a few times or go black for a short
time during the installation; this is normal (detection of the docking station’s external graphics card).
• Connect your devices to the matching ports of the docking station.

or VGA port) work as if your computer or your normal graphics card had additional monitor connections.
b) External network adapter: A network connection can be established, e.g., if the computer does not have
a network connection.
c) External USB hub: An integrated USB3.0 hub provides 6 additional USB ports, e.g., for a USB mouse or
USB keyboard.
d) External sound card: Two stereo jack sockets (3.5 mm, for headphone and microphone) are used to
connect e.g., a headset.
The included power adapter is used to the voltage/power supply of the docking station.
