Power Delivery - Further Informaon
Due to the VG1655’s design please note:
• The rst connected device will be the main input signal.
• When a Type C port recognizes an external device as a power adapter, it will only
distribute the power. It will NOT display the input signal.
• Only when one of the Type C ports is recognized as a power adapter can the
other one deliver two-way power.
If a laptop is connected rst to the VG1655, then a mobile phone is connected
second, the mobile phone’s baery will not be charged as neither Type C port
recognizes the connecon as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the mobile phone’s screen, you must unplug the
Type C cable connected to the laptop.
If a mobile phone is connected rst to the VG1655, then a laptop is connected

recognized as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the laptop screen, you must unplug the Type C
cable connected to the mobile phone.
Due to the VG1655’s design, do not connect two laptops or one laptop and a
desktop computer at the same me. This can cause power distribuon conicts,
resulng in ashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).

• Do not connect the other Type C port of the VG1655 to another laptop or
desktop computer via Type A and HDMI at the same me.
• If the laptop only has HDMI and Type A ports, please connect via HDMI and
Type A to Type C to the VG1655.
• If the power output of the Type A port of the laptop is not greater than
10W, please use our power adapter to connect to the VG1655.
