4. Hardware Connection
4.1 For Raspberry Pi 5 / CM5 / CM4 / CM3+ / CM3
- Connect the DSI port using a 15P to 22P 200mm FPC cable to the 22-pin DSI port on your Raspberry Pi.
- Use the included power cable to connect the display to the 5V and GND pin header on the Raspberry Pi.
- Secure the display with M2.0 screws.
4.2 For Raspberry Pi 4B / 3B+ / 3B / 3A+
- Connect the DSI port using a FFC Cable 15PIN 20cm (opposite direction) to the 15-pin DSI port on your Raspberry Pi.
- Use the included power cable to connect the display to the 5V and GND pin header.
- Secure the display with M2.0 screws.
Cable insertion notice: Pull the locking mechanism forward, insert the cable with metal contacts facing the user, then push the locking mechanism back to secure.

7. Safety Instructions
- Power off before connecting: Always shut down and disconnect power before connecting or disconnecting the display.
- Minimum input current: Ensure input current is ≥0.5A to prevent startup failure or damage to the display.
- Cable handling: Pull the locking mechanism forward before inserting the ribbon cable; insert with metal contacts facing the correct direction; push mechanism back to lock. Avoid folding or straining the ribbon cable.
- Operating environment: Use within 0–50°C in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to water, moisture, conductive surfaces, and excessive heat.
- Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent condensation or physical stress on the display.
- Fragile display surface: The display glass may shatter if dropped or struck. Handle with care.
