Installing the Docking Station
The docking station will automatically install the required
drivers when it’s connected to your laptop’s USB-C port. If you
receive a prompt to automatically install the driver(s), follow the
on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Powering the Docking Station
When the docking station is plugged in and powered, you
can use USB Power Delivery to power and charge your laptop
through its USB-C port.
The docking station cannot receive power from the host laptop,
therefore it must always be connected to the power adapter.
1. Select the appropriate power cord for your region and
connect it to the power adapter.
2. Connect the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet and
then to the docking station’s DC 20V power input port.
3. Connect the provided USB-C cable to a USB-C port on your
host laptop and to the USB-C host port on the docking
station. Both the docking station and your connected laptop
should now be receiving power.
Notes: By default, the docking station power button will be
powered on, as soon as the docking staiton is connected to
a power source. If the docking station has been powered o,
press the power button to turn the docking station on.
In order to power and charge your laptop, its USB-C port
must support USB Power Delivery.

Connecting Devices to the Docking Station
After completing the steps in the Power the docking station
section:
1. Connect the peripheral devices to the appropriate ports on
the docking station. Devices may include USB peripherals,
headset, and tablets.
Notes: The three available USB ports located on the back of
the docking station (USB-A) are standard USB 3.0 through-
put ports. When the docking station is connected to a host
laptop, these ports provide a standard USB 3.0 power output
to power or charge the connected devices.
The USB-A port on the front of the docking station is compli-
ant with USB Battery Charging Specication Revision 1.2
(BC1.2), you can use the port to connect and charge a device
faster than you can using a standard USB port. This front USB
port can charge a connected device, even when the docking
station isn’t connected to a laptop.
2. Connect the external display to the docking station’s HDMI
video port.
Note: Video output capabilities are dependent on the video
card and hardware specications of your connected host
laptop. Some monitors will also limit the available resolution.
