5.1.2 Using Extend Mode

Use the

Extend

mode to display different content on each display screen. In

Extend

mode,

the display attached to the Easy Dock becomes an extended part of the Windows desktop.
The extra desktop area is a great productivity aid, allowing you to view or work with more
applications or documents at the same time. You can also use this mode to extend your
desktop to fill multiple screens that are positioned next to each other for a larger continuous
work space.

5.1.3 Laptop Operation with the Lid Closed

You can work conveniently with a laptop by setting its default action upon closing the lid to
"

Do nothing

" (to prevent the laptop from entering "sleep" or "hibernation" mode,

Control

Panel > Power Options, "When I close the lid:" - "Do nothing"

), and then set the Easy Dock

screen as the primary display while disabling the main screen (see Sec. 5.3.2.5 Setting the
Easy Dock as the Primary Display)
.

The laptop lid can then be closed, and the laptop can be used with the Easy Dock screen and
an external keyboard and mouse attached to the laptop. This configuration can be used
together with either Mirror mode or Extend mode.
