amounts of dust, humidity, oil, smoke, or combustible vapors.
Prior to operation, check the unit and power cord for physical damage. Do not use if
physical damage has occurred.
Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that the outlet provides the
same type and level of power required by the device.
Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not allow it to become
crimped, pinched, walked on, or become tangled with other cords. Ensure that the

the NEMA 1-15 plug onto the top of the adapter, as shown in the diagram below. If you
ever need to remove the plug, push the locking switch back, then slide the plug off the
adapter.

11
USING THE STAND
The included tilting stand comes installed out of the box. To use the stand, pull up on the
indicated switch to unlock the tilt, allowing it to be adjusted to the desired angle between
20°-80°. If you want to use a desk or wall mount, remove the installed stand by removing
the four screws that fix it in place, then use the screws to attach the monitor to the mount.
CHARGING THE PEN
The included pen stylus features a built-in rechargeable battery that gives up to 350 hours
of continuous operation. The pen should be fully charged before first use and should be
charged at least once every three months to keep the battery fresh and capable of holding
a full charge. To charge the pen, plug the DC barrel connector on the included charging
cable into the top of the pen, then plug the USB connector into a USB power source, such
as a USB port on your computer or a USB wall charger. The LED indicator on the pen will
glow red while charging is in progress and will extinguish when charging is complete.
When the LED indicator glows orange dusring use, the battery is low and should be
recharged immediately.

12
REPLACING THE PEN NIB
With repeated use the pen nib (tip) will wear out. When it does, you can easily replace it
with one of the included replacement nibs. To do so, grab the nib with the nib removal clip
and pull it out of the pen. Next, open the pen holder and remove one of the replacement
nibs. Insert the new nib into the end of the pen and press the pen down on a flat surface to
fully seat the new nib in the pen.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Before connecting the display to your computer, you should install the software driver
package. You can install the driver from the included CD or go to www.monoprice.com and
download the latest version of the driver for installation. After launching the installer,
follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation.

1. Plug the USB-C and Mini HDMI® connectors on the included integrated cable into
the USB-C and Mini HDMI connectors on the right side of the display.
2. Plug the USB-A and HDMI connectors on the included integrated cable into an
available USB-A port and HDMI video port on your computer.

SOFTWARE OPERATION
Press Keys Tab
The pen display features 10 hotkeys, which can be assigned to perform any single
keystroke, mouse action, or combination of keystrokes. To set these keys, open the
installed software and click on the Press Keys tab. Next, hover the mouse over the key you
want to configure, then click on the key label to open the key edit screen. Click the OK

of keystrokes to each of the two buttons. To do so, click the button associated with the
button you want to change to open the key assignment dialog. Additionally, you can set
and test the pressure sensitivity of the pen tip. Note that the pen tip will always perform a
mouse left-click. Finally, you can enable support for Windows Ink® by checking the box in
the lower left corner.

15
Work Area Tab
When using the pen display as the only monitor on your computer system, the working
area (the part of the display that is pen responsive) is the entire display by default.
However, when using the pen display in conjunction with other monitors on your system,
you need to determine the location of the pen display in relation to your main display and
determine whether it will be a mirror of the main display or whether it will extend the
desktop. Refer to your operating system manual for instructions on how to do this.

16
Once the monitor is part of your multi-monitor system, you need to set the active pen
responsive area to all or a portion of the pen display. You can set it to the full area by
clicking the Full Area button. Alternatively, you can set it to the screen ratio by clicking the
Screen Ratio button. Finally, you can set the active area by dragging the sides of the green
box.
You can also rotate the display for left handed operation or portrait orientation by clicking
one of the radio buttons in the Rotate section.

17
To ensure accurate drawing, you should periodically calibrate the monitor and pen
responsive area. To do so, click the Monitor Calibration button. You will be presented with
a series of crosshairs around a red dot. Click the red dots in order to calibrate the monitor
and pen responsive area.
While calibration is in progress, you can reset the calibration to the factory defaults by
clicking the Restore default button. Alternatively, you can cancel calibration by clicking the
Cancel Calibration button.
