Connecting the docking station
You can connect the docking station to the computer while the computer is turned on or off. Connecting the computer while
it is in power saving mode (Standby or Hibernate) may result in data loss or a computer malfunction.

station while the computer is on.
3. Plug one end of the AC adapter cable into the DC IN jack on the docking station, and plug the other end into an
AC outlet. The DC IN indicator turns on.

of the docking station.
