Chapter 3. Using the dock

This chapter provides information about using the headset and microphone combo jack, USB connectors,
Gigabit Ethernet connector, and HDMI connector on the dock.
You can connect devices to the appropriate connectors on the dock while your notebook computer is turned
on. Normally it will take several seconds for the notebook computer to recognize new devices.

Using the headset and microphone combo jack

The headset and microphone combo jack on the dock is a 3.5 mm headset and microphone combined jack.
It only works for the standard 3.5 mm headset, microphone, or speaker.
To use the headset and microphone combo jack on the dock, connect your headset, microphone, or speaker
to the headset and microphone combo jack on the dock.
Notes: The headset, microphone, or speaker connected to the headset and microphone combo jack on the
dock is automatically enabled after the dock is successfully connected and recognized by your notebook
computer. However, if you cannot hear anything from your device, do the following:
• Install the latest device driver by following the instructions on the Web site at:
http://www.lenovo.com/onelinkdrivers
• Manually enable the headset and microphone combo jack on the dock. See "Manually enabling the
headset and microphone combo jack" on page 11 for more information.

Using the USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function

The USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function enables you to charge devices even when the
computer is shut down, is in sleep or hibernation mode, or the dock is disconnected from the notebook
computer.
To charge a device, connect the device to the USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function on the
dock using a USB cable.
Notes:
• Most devices can be charged by the USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function, but some devices
with special configuration might not be charged.
• The charging time varies depending on the device configuration and the environment.

Using the USB connectors

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