Important Information

The Baseus Spacemate 11-in-1 Docking Station requires specific setup for optimal performance, particularly on macOS.

Ensure your computer's USB-C port is full-featured (supporting charging, data transfer, and DP Alt Mode).

Product Overview

The docking station features 11 ports and a top-mounted indicator/screen-lock button. The device includes a detachable base with a reusable gel pad for secure placement on your desk.

If the indicator light flashes continuously, it indicates an abnormal output from the computer or a non-full-featured port.

Troubleshooting

  • Low resolution: Ensure the connected laptop, HDMI cable, and monitor support the desired resolution.
  • Heat: It is normal for the casing to get warm during operation. The device is tested to operate safely within temperature limits.
