Možnosti připojení

The Maxfree S6 offers multiple connection methods depending on your laptop's available ports.

Option 2: Non-Type-C Laptop with HDMI + Type-C Connection

For laptops without a full-functionality Type-C port, connect the screen extender using both HDMI and Type-C cables. You will need to connect one extra USB-A to USB-C cable to the same screen extender for power supply when using the HDMI cable.

Option 3: Resolving Connection Issues (No HDMI or Mac M1/M2/M3 Chips)

If you encounter connection issues, particularly with Mac M1/M2/M3 chips or if your laptop lacks an HDMI port, you may need an H5-T cable. For one screen, use a Type-C to Type-C cable to connect the monitor and the laptop. For the other screen, use the H5-T cable and a USB-A to Type-C cable to connect the monitor and the laptop.
