- Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet if the device is not being used for a long period.

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 VA1655’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 VA1655, 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 VA1655, 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 VA1655’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 VA1655.
- Do not connect the other Type C port of the VA1655 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 VA1655.
- 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 VA1655.
- Do not connect the other Type C port of the VA1655 to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.
