Standby And Hibernate, Shut Down And Restart; Disconnecting The Adapter; Using Dual Adapters - Black Box USB Display Adapter User Manual

Standby and Hibernate, Shut Down and Restart

When the adapter is connected to a computer and an external monitor, if the computer
goes into standby or hibernate mode, the external monitor display goes blank.
When the computer returns to an active state, the external monitor display keeps the same
settings it had before the computer went into standby or hibernate mode. However, if the
add-on monitor was set for extended mode, windows that were previously on the external
monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor. Also, if the add-on monitor is in
extended mode and the computer requires a login after standby or hibernate mode, the
login screen appears on the primary computer monitor, not the external monitor.
If the computer is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the add-on monitor returns to
the same mode as it was before shutdown.

Disconnecting the Adapter

If the adapter is unplugged from the computer, the add-on monitor goes blank. All windows
and icons move to the primary screen.
On reconnection of the adapter, the adapter returns to the same mode as it was before
disconnection. However, windows and icons that were previously on the screen will not be
moved back.

Using Dual Adapters

Up to two adapters can be simultaneously attached to one computer. To use two adapters:
1. Install the driver as described in the "2. Installation" section and connect the first
adapter to your computer.
2. Then connect the second adapter to your computer. The system will automatically
complete the installation.
While two adapters are connected to a computer, in most cases both adapters supports
extended and mirror modes. The only exception is on Windows Vista XDDM mode as
described below.
