Using the Docking System
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have an undocking password and your OmniBook is shut down, when you
try to undock the OmniBook 800, then a blue screen is displayed instead of a
password prompt. Enter your password to undock, or press the On/Off button and
start the OmniBook before undocking.
How do I manually undock the OmniBook?
If you can't undock the OmniBook using the Undock button, you can manually
undock it. Manual undocking overrides password protection (see question on
docking security).
1. Save your work and shut down your operating system.
2. Insert a key or other thin object into the security opening located on the left
side of the docking system.
3. Press the key inward and pull the undock latch forward.
Why does my OmniBook suspend when I undock it?
The OmniBook automatically suspends when you undock. The OmniBook assumes
that you are undocking for transport.
Make sure you exit any applications using network connections before undocking.
A PC network card loses connection if the OmniBook is undocked.
Why do I have problems with some Plug and Play ISA cards?
The Plug and Play ISA standard is loosely defined. If a Plug and Play ISA card causes
problems in Windows 95 or in Windows for Workgroups, try disabling the plug-and-
play feature in the card's drivers. For more information on using ISA or PCI Cards
refer to your OmniBook Docking System User's Guide.
Which ac adapter do I use with the docking system?
The OmniBook ac adapter F1044B is designed to power only one device in addition
to the OmniBook 800. Never connect more than this to the OmniBook ac adapter.
Do not connect the OmniBook 800, OmniBook 800 Docking System and OmniBook
CD-ROM to the same ac adapter. Use a second ac adapter for the OmniBook CD-
ROM. Alternatively, you can use the optional 60-watt ac adapter (HP model
F1140A) to power all three devices.
