Installation (Two Options)

Connecting your SideTrak Swivel Pro

Check the ports on your laptop.

To connect your SideTrak Swivel, use the USB-C to USB-C cord.

Check your USB-C port for the symbols shown in the table below. If you have one of the green checked symbols, then your USB-C port is compatible.

NOTE: Apple MacBook ports are compatible even if there are no symbols next to them. Touchscreen functionality is not compatible with MacBook models.

USB-C to USB-C cord

2 If you have a laptop that lacks a compatible USB-C port, or doesn't have a USB-C port at all, you will need to download the DisplayLink driver.

If you have a Chromebook that lacks a USB-C port, you do not need to download the DisplayLink driver.

3 If you are setting up a triple screen, you may need to provide additional power to run both monitors. If supplemental power is required, use the optional USB wall charger.

If your laptop only has one USB-C port, the SideTrak USB-C cord will prevent access for other devices. In this instance, you can use a hub that provides additional USB-C ports. Check out SideTrak USB-C Hub.

1 Adhere stick-on metal plate.

Peel the backing from ONE (1) of the stick-on metal plates and insert it into the open space on the mounting guide. Make sure to align the SideTrak logo in the bottom right corner.

Before attaching your SideTrak, give the metal plate a few minutes to allow the adhesive to properly grip your laptop.

Apply light pressure for 10 seconds and remove the mounting guide from your laptop.

NOTE: The metal plate will be semi-permanently adhered to your laptop. If you would not like the metal plate adhered directly onto your laptop, we recommend using a plastic laptop case or skin.

IMPORTANT: If you are installing a triple screen SideTrak setup, flip to the next page for second metal plate placement instructions before moving on to step 4 (attaching your Swivel Pro).

Attach SideTrak Swivel Pro onto laptop.

After giving the metal plate a few minutes to adhere, clip the monitor to the metal plate on your laptop.

It is easiest to clip when the monitor and mounting frame aren't folded. Wiggle the monitor's mounting frame, if it pops off it is not fully clicked in. You will hear a loud click when it is properly placed. Then, simply plug in and you'll be all set to start using your new SideTrak Swivel Pro monitor!

NOTE: If you DID NOT purchase a triple screen pack, but have just installed a second plate for your second monitor (purchased another SideTrak single to create a triple setup), flip to page 18 to adjust your monitors so they can nest on your laptop when closed.

Second Monitor Setup

If you purchased the second monitor separately

When you purchase the triple screen setup, the monitors come setup ready for installation. If you purchased the second monitor separately, one monitor will need a raised mounting plate while the other is flush with (will lay flat against) the screen, as shown in the image to the right. Adjusting the mounting frame will help the monitors nest with each other when closed.

If you purchased the second monitor separately, both mounting plates will be the same, both will be flush with the screen when closed.

In order for these monitors to nest with each when closed, you will have to raise one of the monitor's mounting frames. Follow the steps on the next page to raise the mounting frame.

IMPORTANT: Change only ONE of your monitors. The other monitor's mounting frame must remain flush with the screen.

Steps to raising your mounting frame

Remember to only do this to ONE of your monitors and only if you bought monitors separately and not in a triple screen pack.

1 Turn the mounting frame perpendicular to the monitor. This will reveal two screws on each side of the monitor.

2 Use the provided adapter tool to unscrew the 2 screws, one from each side of the mounting frame. This will separate out the mounting frame from the monitor.

How to attach and detach your SideTrak

SideTrak's metal plate will stay on your laptop, making it easy for you to attach and detach your SideTrak whenever you need!

To reattach your SideTrak, angle the SideTrak slightly, "hooking" the mounting frame to the top of the metal plate. You should feel SideTrak click onto the magnets. Wiggle the monitor's mounting frame and if it pops off then it is not fully clicked in. You will hear a loud click when it is properly placed.

QUICK TIP: Your SideTrak doesn't need to be removed to store with your laptop. SideTrak stays securely attached to the metal plate and has a protective cushion for your laptop.
