Gigabit Ethernet for fast network connectivity.

General Use Warnings

•

Please read the TS4 manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with the

product before use.

•

Avoid using the TS4 in extremely hot and cold environments. A safe

temperature range is between 50°F – 95°F (10°C - 35°C).

•

Avoid using the TS4 in humid environments. Moisture and condensation can

accumulate in the device and cause damage to the electrical components.

•

Only use the power adapter that has been supplied with the TS4. An

excessive or inadequate power supply can result in unstable performance

or device failure.

Safety Warnings

•

Keep the TS4 away from liquids and moisture. Exposure to liquids can result

in damaging the unit, electric shock, and result in a fire hazard.

•

If your TS4 gets wet while it is still off, do not turn it on. In the case of any

issue with the device, do not attempt to repair or open the device yourself.

Connecting Dual Monitors or a single Higher Refresh Rate Monitor

You can add up to two external monitors to the TS4 as long as your computer’s Thunderbolt

ports support dual displays. M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, Intel based Macs, Thunderbolt 4,

and Thunderbolt 3 PCs support up to dual displays. Some early Thunderbolt 3 PCs do not

support dual displays. Check if your Thunderbolt 3 PC supports dual displays. Users on

original Apple M1 computers, or on USB-C PCs can only connect a single display to the

TS4. In addation to the dual monitor support, TS4 can support an external monitor with

higher refresh rate showing below.

USB-C Video Adapter*.

Option 2

- Connect one monitor to one of the spare Thunderbolt 4 ports via a USB-C

Video Adapter*.

- Connect the second monitor to one of the spare Thunderbolt 4 ports via

a USB-C Video Adapter*.

Option 3

- Connect two USB-C or Thunderbolt monitors directly to two of the

Thunderbolt 4 ports.

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet

The TS4 has a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port with up to 2.5X performance* of

Gigabit Ethernet. The 2.5GbE ports is backwards compatible with standard

Gigabit Ethernet, and can be used with a 5GbE, or 10GbE network.

Audio

The TS4 has one front-facing audio combo port, one rear-facing audio out

port, and a second audio in port on the back of the device. Only the front-

facing combo port or the rear-facing audio ports can be connected at a time.

If you have all of these three audio ports connected to the devices at the

same time, the TS4 will default to the audio in/out on the front audio port.

Once you disconnect your audio device from the front audio port, the audio

will default to the device connected to the back of the TS4.

On macOS, the audio devices must be selected in the “Sound” section under

“System Preferences”. The TS4’s audio devices will be listed as ‘CalDigit TS4

Audio - Front’ or ‘CalDigit TS4 Audio - Rear’ in your settings depends on the

audio port you use.

* 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet is only supported on Thunderbolt based hosts.
