This section provides information on how to use the headset and microphone jacks, Gigabit Ethernet connector, USB connectors, and video outputs on the Dock n’Charge.



Using the headset and microphone jacks:

The headset and microphone jacks are located in the front of the Dock n’Charge and are both 3.5 mm in size.

To use the headset and microphone jacks simply, connect your headset, speaker or microphone to the appropriate jack.

Note: The headset and microphone jacks on the docking station are automatically enabled when you have successfully connected the docking station to your laptop or tablet and installed the device driver. However, if you cannot hear anything from the headset connected to the 3.5mm jack on the docking station, you can manually

enable the headset by right clicking on the volume icon in the taskbar

 Using the Gigabit Ethernet connector

To use the Gigabit Ethernet connector on the docking station, connect the docking station to a standard 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network, and wait until the docking station is fully configured by the Windows operating system.

 Using the USB connectors

To use the USB connectors, connect a USB device to any of the six USB connectors on the docking station with a USB cable. When the USB device is correctly connected to a USB connector on the docking station , an information window will be displayed in the Windows notification area, indicating that the USB device has been connected to the computer.

Using the USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function

The USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function enables you to charge USB devices even when the computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, or the docking station is disconnected from the computer. 2 of the USB 3.0 ports enable battery charging, 1 in the front and 1 in the back. They are clearly marked on the unit.

Notes:

• Most mobile devices can be charged by the USB 3.0 port with battery charging

function, but some devices with special configurations might not be charged.

• The charging time varies depending on the device configuration and the

environment.

 Using the video outputs

The video outputs on the Dock n’ Charge consist of one HDMI connector and one DVI-I connector. A VGA monitor can be plugged into the DVI-I output with the included DVI to VGA adapter. You can simultaneously connect up to two external displays to the docking station using the two video outputs. You do not have to disconnect the docking station from your computer each time when you connect the external displays.

To use the video outputs, connect a DVI cable (or VGA cable using the included adapter) to an external display. For displays with an HDMI input or for connecting the docking station to a television, you can use the available HDMI output. This output supports both video & audio to the television.
