Steps:


1. Ensure Wi-Fi Connection:

- Make sure both your iPad Air and the Arzopa S1 Table portable monitor are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.


2. Enable Screen Mirroring:

- On your iPad Air, swipe down from the top-right corner to open the Control Center.

- Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" or "AirPlay" icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing up) to see a list of available devices.


3. Select the Portable Monitor:

- Choose the Arzopa S1 Table portable monitor from the list of available devices. Ensure that screen mirroring is enabled on the monitor.


4. Adjust Settings (if needed):

- Depending on the portable monitor and your preferences, you might need to adjust settings such as display orientation or resolution on the monitor itself.


5. Power Connection:

- Ensure that both your iPad Air and the Arzopa S1 Table portable monitor are adequately powered. Connect the iPad to a power source, and make sure the monitor has its power supply connected.


6. Use an HDMI Adapter (if available):

- Some portable monitors may support a wired connection via an HDMI adapter. If the Arzopa S1 Table monitor has an HDMI port, you can try using a Lightning to HDMI adapter for a direct connection.


7. Check for Updates:

- Make sure your iPad Air is running the latest version of iPadOS and that the Arzopa S1 Table monitor has the latest firmware or software updates installed.


Remember that while screen mirroring allows you to display content from your iPad Air on the external monitor, it may not provide the same extended display functionality as a wired connection. Check the manufacturer's instructions for your specific portable monitor model for any additional steps or compatibility requirements.

Your iPad Air5 has a USB-C port that supports USB-PD Power Delivery. Your Arzopa S1 Monitor has two USB-C ports, optimally designed to power your iPad...


1) Connect your iPad to the monitor using a full feature USB-C to USB-C cable (the charging cable supplied with your iPad should be adequate).


2) Connect a USB-C Power Adapter that supports USB PD to the second USB-C port of the Monitor - noting that the Power Adapter must output sufficient power for both the iPad and Monitor (a Power Adapter rated at 30W or greater should be adequate).


This simple arrangement allows power to be supplied to the iPad, from the monitor using just one Power Adapter, over the existing USB-C connection.



Alternatively, you can use a USB-C to HDMI Adapter - and connect this to the mini-HDMI port of the monitor using a suitable HDMI to mini-HDMI cable. This arrangement is more complex - requiring the use of two USB-C Power Adapters (one each for the monitor and the iPad), the USB-C to HDMI Adapter and suitable cables.
