The monitor can be powered in any of the following configurations:

Type C Connection

Type A Connection

Power Adapter

Connecting External Devices
Your external device(s) can be connected in any of the following configurations:

Type C Connection
Connect a Type C cable from your external device to a Type C port on the monitor.

Mini HDMI Connection

1. Connect the mini HDMI cable from your external device to the mini HDMI port on the monitor.
2. Connect the USB Type A to Type C cable from your external device.

NOTE:

• The USB Type A to Type C connection will also supply power to the monitor from the notebook. The power output must be greater than 10W.

Power Delivery

Powering a Notebook or Mobile Phone
If the included power adapter is connected to the monitor, then the monitor can charge a connected notebook or mobile phone.

NOTE 
Power Delivery Output: DC 5V/9V/12V/15V/20V/Max 3A.

Power Supply Detection
This product will detect if the power supply device is an adapter, laptop, or mobile phone.

• If the power source is an adapter or notebook, the default brightness value will be 100.
• If the power source is a mobile phone, the default brightness value will be 15.
• When using a mobile phone to power the monitor, the default brightness level will be 15.

NOTE
Due to the limited power output of the mobile phone, do not adjust the brightness level higher as this may cause the display to flash or shut down.

Power Delivery – Further Information
Due to the VG1655’s design please note:

• The first 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 first to the VG1655, then a mobile phone is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will not be charged as neither Type C port recognizes the connection 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 first to the VG1655, then a laptop is connected second, and the mobile phone’s battery will be charged as one of the Type C ports is 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 time. This can cause power distribution conflicts, resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).

NOTE 

• If the laptop has a Type C port, please connect via Type C to the VG1655.
• 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 time.
• 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.
• Do not connect the other Type C port of the VG1655 to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.

Troubleshooting

This section describes some common problems that you may experience when using the monitor.

Maintenance

General Precautions

• Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the power outlet.
• Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
• Handle the monitor with care, as a darker-colored monitor, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored monitor.

Cleaning the Screen

• Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
• If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, nonalcohol-based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth; then wipe the screen.

Cleaning the Case

• Use a soft, dry cloth.
• If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol-based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.

Disclaimer

• ViewSonic® does not recommend the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners on the display screen or case. Some chemical cleaners have been reported to damage the screen and/or case of the monitor.
• ViewSonic® will not be liable for damage resulting from the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners.
