• A USB-A to USB-C cable cannot be used for video transmission.

• Some devices have Type-C ports that only support charging and not display output. If the monitor shows “No signal”, your device’s port may not support display output.

To connect the FORHELP F156P1 monitor to a device with an HDMI port, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable from the monitor’s Mini HDMI port to the laptop/PC’s HDMI port for video signal.

2. Connect the monitor to a power source using the USB-A to USB-C cable and the wall charger.

Note: Please use the wall charger to power on the monitor to avoid a black or flashing screen when the power supply from the device’s USB port is not enough.

To connect your FORHELP F156P1 to a device with a (mini) DisplayPort, you will need a (mini)DP to HDMI adapter. The connection steps are:

1. Connect the (mini)DP to HDMI adapter to your device.

2. Connect the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable from the adapter to the monitor.

3. Provide power to the monitor using the USB-A to USB-C cable and the wall charger.

Note: Always use the wall charger to power the monitor to avoid a black or flashing screen due to insufficient power.

To connect the FORHELP F156P1 monitor to a gaming console like a PS5, PS4, or Xbox:

1. Connect the console to the monitor using the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

2. Power the monitor using the USB-A to USB-C cable connected to the wall charger.

Note: It is recommended to use the wall charger for a stable power supply to prevent a black or flashing screen.

To connect the FORHELP F156P1 to a Nintendo Switch:

1. Connect the Switch to the monitor using the USB-C to USB-C cable.

2. The Switch cannot provide enough power for the monitor. You must use the Switch’s original PD charger and plug it into the other Type-C port on the monitor. Using other chargers may not work.

Yes, if your Android phone has a full-function USB-C port that supports video output.

1. Connect the phone to one of the monitor’s Type-C ports using the USB-C to USB-C cable.

2. Since phones may not provide enough power, especially at high brightness, plug the wall charger into the other Type-C port on the monitor to power it on.

Note: Some phones, like the Google Pixel, have a USB-C port that does not support video output.

Yes, you can connect the FORHELP F156P1 monitor to an iPhone, but you will need a Lightning to HDMI adapter. Follow these steps:

Phone

Laptop

If you encounter a black screen or a “No signal” message, try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure you are using the original cables and charger provided with the monitor. Note that a USB 3.0 A Male to USB Type C cable does not support video signal transmission.

2. Plug the wall charger into a Type-C port for power. Wait for the screen to display “no signal,” then plug in the USB-C video cable or HDMI cable into the appropriate port.

3. If using a single USB-C cable for power and display, be aware that some devices (like HP Elitebook, Acer Aspire) have Type-C ports that only support charging, not video output.

4. In Windows, ensure the display mode is set to “Extend”.

5. Connect the monitor to a different device to check if the monitor itself is working correctly.

Flashing or continuously restarting is usually caused by an insufficient power supply.

If the monitor and your device (laptop or phone) are connected by a single USB-C cable, the device may not be providing enough power. To resolve this, please plug the included wall charger into the other Type-C port on the monitor to provide adequate and stable power.

There are two common reasons for this issue:

1. Insufficient Power: Phones may not provide enough power for the monitor. Please plug the wall charger into one Type-C port on the monitor, then connect your phone to the other Type-C port using the USB-C cable.

2. Unsupported Port: The Type-C port on some phones does not support video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode) and is only for charging. For example, the Type-C port on Google Pixel phones does not support video output.

Yes. The connection method depends on your iPad model:

• If your iPad has a Type-C port, the monitor will work well with a single USB-C to USB-C cable.

• If your iPad has a Lightning port, a Lightning to HDMI adapter is required to connect to the monitor. You will also need to power the adapter and the monitor separately.

The FORHELP F156P1 portable monitor does not contain a built-in battery and therefore does not have a memory function. The brightness setting cannot be saved and will reset when the monitor is turned off. You will need to reset the brightness each time you turn on the display by simply sliding the brightness adjustment wheel (the Multi-Function Key).

The brightness and contrast settings on the FORHELP F156P1 are automatically locked and cannot be adjusted under certain conditions:

• When HDR Mode is turned on.

• When the ECO mode is set to “MOVIE,” “GAME,” or “TEXT” mode.

• When DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) is turned on.

To be able to adjust brightness and contrast, please ensure HDR and DCR are turned off, and the ECO mode is set to “Standard”.
