dynadock™ W20

Using standby/sleep/hibernation modes with the
dynadock™

When your docked computer enters standby/sleep/hibernation mode,
devices connected to the dynadock™ will not function until the computer
returns to an active state.

In addition, please keep in mind the following important information
regarding the affect of standby/sleep/hibernation mode on external
monitors connected to the dynadock™:

n

The external monitor connected to the dynadock™ will go blank if the
computer enters standby/sleep/hibernation mode.

n

In Mirror mode, the external monitor retains the settings it had
previously when the computer resumes from standby/sleep/hibernation.

n

In Extended mode, windows that were previously on the external
monitor may appear on the computer's built-in display when the
computer resumes from standby/sleep/hibernation. You may need to
reposition the windows by dragging them to the external desktop again.

n

If the external monitor is in Extended mode and the computer requires
you to log in after resuming from standby/sleep/hibernation, the login
screen will appear on the primary computer monitor, not the external
monitor. This is consistent with Windows

®

operating system standards.

Securing the dynadock™

The security lock slot enables you to connect a security cable (not
provided) to help prevent unauthorized removal of the dynadock™.

Follow these steps to secure your dynadock™:

1. Attach your security cable (purchased separately) to a desk or other

large object, following the instructions included with your security cable.

2. Insert the lock end of the security cable into the dynadock’s security

lock slot.
