Lets you attach your computer to a docking device. See the documentation that came

with your docking device for additional information.

NOTICE:

Your computer features Undock & Go™ technology that allows you to undock your computer without

going into standby mode. Because the computer will not go automatically into standby mode when it is undocked,

be sure the settings in the Power Options control panel do not prohibit the computer from going into standby mode.

If you change the Power Options control panel to prohibit the computer from going into standby mode, you greatly

increase the chances of causing your battery to wear down quickly or causing your computer to overheat.

The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer

from overheating.

CAUTION:

Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Do not store your

computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow
can damage the computer or cause a fire.

NOTE:

The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a

problem with the fan or the computer.
