The Pairing Button is an easy way for the user to connect to the docking
station. The user just pushes the pairing button on the docking station and the
host will automatically connect to this docking station. There is a backlit LED
on the button. The Pairing LED will be White for the success state and Amber
for the error state.

If the wireless link between the computer and the Dell Wireless Dock
becomes weak, move the computer closer to the Dell Wireless Dock or rotate
the computer to find a position with a stronger wireless link. For example, if you
find that the wireless signal strength is reduced when the notebook lid is closed,
you can try to rotate the notebook to find the best reception.
Note: The wireless connection works best if your computer lid (logo side)
directly faces the front side of the docking station and there is a line-of-sight
between the computer and the docking station.
3.2.1 Using The Network Port
When you want to use Internet via the network port of the docking station, you
just plug the network cable into the network port of the docking station. The
meanings of the LED indicators on the network port are listed below:

3.2.2 Using the Video/Audio Port
The video quality is similar to that of a notebook/PC connected to a TV/Monitor
via a real cable. When you want to use HDMI/DisplayPort on the docking
station to make a video output, just use the HDMI/DisplayPort cable to connect
the docking station to the monitor/TV. You can enjoy HD video on a big-sized
screen. The Dell Wireless Dock D5000 also has an audio jack to output audio
and MIC input. The Dell Wireless dock can support simultaneous HDMI and
DisplayPort output.
