Why aren't there any pictures after I connect my docking station to my MacBook?
1. Allow accessory to connect
When connecting the FusionDock Max 1 to an Apple chip-based MacBook for the first time, the system will display two pop-up windows asking if you'd like to allow the accessory to connect to the Mac. You must grant permission for the accessory to connect in order to use it properly with your MacBook.

2. Configure in System Settings
If your MacBook only displays one pop-up window (or no pop-up at all) asking for accessory connection permission, please navigate to Apple menu > System Settings > Privacy and Security > Allow accessories to connect > choose "Always" or "Automatically When Unlocked".

3. Restart Your MacBook
If the issue persists, restart your MacBook, then unplug and replug the dual USB-C cable into your MacBook.
