Using the USB-C™ Port
Connecting an External USB-C™ Device
The USB-C™ port mounted on this product supports USB 3 2 Gen 1x1 standards
Use the USB-C™ port to connect USB devices or to output a screen to an external display

USB 3 1 Gen 2) to USB 3 2 Gen 1x1 and USB 3 2 Gen 2x1
Connecting a USB Device
If a USB device is connected to a USB-C™ port, the port works as an ordinary USB port
Tip
• To use a conventional USB device, a separate conversion adapter should be used
(Conversion adapters may be purchased separately )
Outputting to an External Display
By connecting a display that supports USB-C™ Alternate Mode, you can use the USB-C™
port to output a screen to an external display
Tip
• Alternate Mode is a mode that uses display outputs such as DP (Display Port) and HDMI
through the USB-C™ port
• We support DisplayPort (DP) interface standards
Caution
!
• You must use a cable that supports Alternate Mode to output a screen to another display
• If you use USB-C™ accessories (cables, interface adapters, etc ) that are used for other
products, you may have compatibility problems (no screen output or a malfunction)
Using USB-C™ Charging Function
You can connect the USB-C™ device to charge a Chromebook battery or an external
device, and the operation mode is automatically selected depending the charge settings of
the connected device
• To charge a Chromebook battery, the external device (USB PD Charger, Chromebook,
etc ) should support USB Power Delivery 10 W (5 V / 2 A) or higher profile
• The external devices that use the USB-C™ port support 7 5 W (5 V / 1 5 A) and
15 W (5 V / 3 A)
• A USB device compatible with USB PD (Power Delivery) supports charging at
15 W (5 V / 3 A), whereas a regular USB device supports charging at
7 5 W (5 V / 1 5 A)
• USB PD batteries cannot be charged using the USB-C™ port of the Chromebook
• Always-On Charging is supported only with USB-C™ ports, but not with the regular
USB ports
• If you connect an adapter with a lower output than the rated adapter, it may take
more time to charge the Chromebook

a connected device Charging the Chromebook by using the mobile phone is not
supported )
