Connecting the Port Replicator

When using the port replicator, always use the AC adapter to power the port replicator; otherwise, the port
replicator will be without power and will not function properly. Also, take precautions to avoid disconnecting the AC
power supply when moving the computer with the port replicator attached.
Before you connect the port replicator, you may want to install the rechargeable battery, if it is not already installed. The
installed battery automatically charges while the computer and port replicator are powered by the AC adapter.
Connecting a port replicator while the computer is in a power saving mode (Standby or Hibernate) may result in data
loss or a computer malfunction.
