| Connecting a HUAWEI monitor to a device such as a computer |
The monitor ports are located on the back of the monitor. For certain models, you'll need to open the protective cover on the back of the monitor to find the ports. You can connect the monitor to a computer, phone, or tablet based on the application scenario via different cables.
Introduction to cables and ports
- Standard cables vary depending on the monitor model.
- Certain cables are not delivered with the monitor and need to be purchased separately if necessary.
- If a device, such as a computer, does not have a port that matches the monitor, please purchase a docking station or contact the device manufacturer for assistance.

For a ZQE-CAA/XWU-CAA/HSN-CAA/HSN-CBA monitor, if you want to use the microphone of the monitor, you'll need to connect the USB-C end of the USB-C to USB-A cable to the monitor, and the USB-A end to the computer. If the microphone cannot record sound, check whether the microphone of the monitor is configured as the sound input device in the connected device's system.
