2. Making the Connection
Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the adapter. Then connect the
other end of the USB cable to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If your monitor
is not yet connected to the adapter, make the connection and power on your
monitor. After the connection, Windows will automatically complete the

system again.
NOTE: Before the installation is complete, it’s normal that the screen flickers
