Cable Covers, Cable Routing and Securing the Cables
Place a protective pad on a work surface, then place the monitor face-down on the pad with the top
of the monitor furthest from you. Rotate the stand toward the top of the monitor.
Remove the snap-on plastic cable guide from the center of the stand.
The monitor is shipped with the Landscape-orientation cable cover halves installed on the back of
the monitor. To remove the cable cover to access the I/O and power connectors, slip your fingers or
a screwdriver into the open slot and pull the bottom of the bottom cover away from the monitor.
Determine which cables are to be used (next section, Configuration and Cable Options). Pass the
required cable or cables up through the hole in the stand, just above the center of the footplate.
Connect the cables to the monitor.
After the cables have been installed, route the cables toward the center. If the power converter is
being used, the cylindrical electrical noise suppressor on the power cable will need to be pushed into
the cavity at the side. The stick-on cable holders may be used to help route the cables – remove the
backing tape and press into place. There are also two slots at the bottom of the cable opening where
the included cable ties can be used to secure the cables more permanently. Position the six tabs on
the straight side of the cable cover into the slots in the monitor and rotate the cover toward the
monitor until it snaps into place. Gather the cables at the center of the stand, then snap the plastic
cable cover back onto the center of the stand.
Configuration and Cable Options
Single-cable option: The USB Type-C cable can supply monitor power, video signal, audio signal
and touch functionality if the computer/source equipment has a USB Type-C output that is capable of
supplying those functions (USB Type-C with DP ALT mode and 12VDC @ 5A power). Not all USB
Type-C sources have all the functionality; consult the documentation for your equipment. It is very
important that the MicroTouch-supplied USB Type-C cable be used when using the single cable option.
Multiple-cable options: If the computer/source equipment does not have a USB Type-C port that
supports 12VDC @ 5A power output, power is supplied by the included AC-to-DC power converter’s
fixed 12 volt DC cable connector. Plug the DC barrel connector into the DC IN jack on the monitor.
Plug the AC power cable female connector into the receptacle on the power converter, then plug the
male connector of the AC cable into a wall outlet.
If the computer/source equipment does not have a USB Type-C port that supports DP ALT mode, then
connect the HDMI cable from the computer/source equipment to the monitor. Also, find the USB Type
C-to-A cable and connect the Type-C end to the monitor and the Type-A end to the computer/source
equipment to supply the Touch output.
