How do I update the firmware on the docking station?

Firmware updates are available on the Targus support website. Download the latest firmware utility for the PA248U5W, connect the dock to your computer, and run the update tool. Follow on-screen instructions.

Is the docking station compatible with MacBooks?

Yes, it is compatible with MacBooks that have a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. macOS 10.15 or later is supported. However, features like Power Delivery may require specific models.
