How many external monitors can I connect?
The Orbit docking station features one HDMI port that can drive a single external monitor at up to 4K @ 60Hz. Some devices may support extended display via DisplayPort over USB-C, but the station itself outputs only one video signal.
Why is my USB device not recognized?
First, ensure the USB device is properly connected. Check if the docking station's drivers are installed (usually plug-and-play). Try a different USB port on the station or reboot your computer. Avoid using USB hubs or extension cables.
Can I use the Ethernet port without an internet connection?
The Gigabit Ethernet port provides wired network access only if an active Ethernet cable is connected. It does not create a hotspot or share internet from other sources.
Does the docking station work with Nintendo Switch or other game consoles?
The Orbit is not officially tested with game consoles. While the USB-C connection may power the console, video output and data transfer may not work reliably. For best results, use with standard laptops or tablets.
How do I clean the Promate Orbit?
Unplug the station from power. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface. Do not use any liquids, sprays, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the electronics.

Can I connect a printer or external hard drive?
Yes, the Orbit has multiple USB 3.0 ports that support storage devices, printers, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals. For high-power devices, an external power adapter may be required.
Is the docking station hot-swappable?
Yes, you can connect and disconnect the docking station without turning off your computer. However, safely eject storage devices before unplugging to avoid data loss.
