Initially, I’d suggest you gently lift the top of the Switch 2 dock’s back panel, and it should come off quite smoothly once it’s unclipped.

The dock seems to attract smudges easily, so if you find that annoying, remember to clean it up later. Have a look at the pictures above for a clearer picture!

Afterward, insert an HDMI cable into the middle HDMI slot on the dock, and then connect the opposite end to your monitor.

But how can HDMI function without power? Instead, use the provided adapter, insert the USB-C cable, connect it to a power outlet, and then link the opposite end to the uppermost USB-C slot on the Switch 2 dock.

After that, pop the cover back on to keep things neat and tidy.

Lastly, ensure that your screen is activated, then gently insert Switch 2 into its dock while confirming it’s properly connected to power. In a short while, your Switch 2 should be linked to the display!
