Monument cannot be connected to a computer via HDMI. You need to connect the device to a TV or Monitor only. This is only needs to be done during the initial setup.
If you don't have an HDMI cable, please manually update your firmware:
Can I connect to a computer HDMI? I want to connect 2 hard drives and a desktop or laptop.
