Note: Only one Expansion Dock can be connected to the notebook at a time.
How Standby or Hibernate Mode Affects Devices Attached to the
Expansion Dock

External Monitors

When the Expansion Dock is connected to a notebook and an external monitor, if the notebook
goes into Standby or Hibernate Mode, the external monitor display goes blank.
Note: Depending on your notebook settings, the notebook might go into Standby or Hibernate
Mode when you close the lid.
When the notebook returns to an active state, the external monitor display keeps the same
settings it had before the notebook went into Standby or Hibernate Mode. However, if the
external 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 external monitor is in
Extended Mode and the notebook requires a login after Standby or Hibernate Mode, the login
screen appears on the primary notebook monitor, not the external monitor.
Other Devices
If another device is connected to a port on the Expansion Dock and the notebook goes into
Standby or Hibernate Mode, that device will not function. For example, if you are using the
Ethernet port for high-speed network access, network access will not be available until the
notebook returns to an active state.

Uninstalling the Video (USB-VGA) Software Driver

Occasionally you may need to uninstall the video (USB-VGA) software driver from your
notebook—for example, if you want to update the current driver with a new version
released by Kensington.
1. On your notebook, open the Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs.
2. Scroll the list of installed programs and select USB Display Adapter.

Troubleshooting
If your Expansion Dock does not operate as expected, first check these items to try and correct
the problem. If the problem persists, please contact Kensington Technical Support. Contact
information is provided in Technical Support, below.
General
The Expansion Dock does not appear to be "on."
1. Check to be sure that the power adapter (C) included with the Expansion Dock is plugged into
the Expansion Dock and into a working electrical outlet. Do not use the adapter that came
with your notebook or adapters other than the one supplied with the Expansion Dock.
2. Unplug the USB cable (B) from either the Expansion Dock or your notebook.
3. If the red light indicator on the back of the Expansion Dock is lit, the power is connected
properly. If not, go to step 4.
4. Use the USB cable (B) to test the Expansion Dock:
• Unplug the power adapter (C) from the Expansion Dock
• Connect the USB cable to the Expansion Dock and to your notebook. Make sure that no other
devices are connected to the Expansion Dock.
5. If the red light indicator is lit, the power adapter (C) does not work properly: be sure that the
power adapter is plugged into a working electrical outlet. If the light is not lit, there may be a
problem with the Expansion Dock.
My notebook will not "connect" to the Expansion Dock.
1. Insert the CD (D) into your notebook's CD-ROM or DVD drive.
2. Unplug and replug the USB cable (B) into both the Expansion Dock and your notebook.
If Windows does not find new hardware, go to step 3.
3. Plug the USB cable (B) from the Expansion Dock into a different USB port on the notebook.
If Windows does not find new hardware, go to step 4.
4. Test the operation of the Expansion Dock with these steps:
• Make sure that the power adapter (C) is connected to the Expansion Dock.
• Plug a USB device, such as a USB mouse, into one of the USB ports of the Expansion Dock.
• Restart the notebook.
• If Windows now finds new hardware, go to Installing the Software Drivers, above, and follow
the steps to reinstall the software drivers. If installation is successful, the USB device plugged
into the Expansion Dock should work properly. If Windows does not find new hardware, there
may be a problem with the Expansion Dock.
Video Output
The display on my monitor is blank.
• Make sure that the USB cable (B) is connected to your notebook and the power adapter (C) is
connected to the Expansion Dock and to a working power outlet. Make sure that the video
.
cable is securely connected to the VGA video output port (G) and secured with the fixing
screws on both sides.
• Make sure that the notebook connected to the Expansion Dock is running properly and is not
in Standby or Hibernate Mode. When the notebook is in Standby and Hibernate Mode, the
monitor display is always blank.
If you check both of the above and your monitor still does not display correctly, you may need to
reinstall the video (USB-VGA) driver. Follow these steps to make sure that the driver is properly
installed:
1. Unplug the USB cable (B) from the Expansion Dock; leave the power adapter (C) connected to
the Expansion Dock.
2. Insert the CD (D) in your notebook's CD-ROM or DVD drive.
3. Select Start, select My Computer, and then double-click on the CD-ROM or DVD drive where
you have inserted the CD.
4. Double-click on the folder USB VGA.
5. Double-click on the file Setup.exe.
Note: During driver installation, the screen will go blank a couple of times. This is a normal part
of the installation process.
6. Once the drivers are installed, reconnect the USB cable (B) to the Expansion Dock.
7. The computer will automatically detect the new USB device and install it in your
computer through the Found New Hardware Wizard, as described in Installing the
Software Drivers, above.
When I close the lid of my notebook the display of the external monitor goes blank.
By default, most the notebooks go into Standby or Hibernate Mode when the lid is closed. To
change these settings, do the following:
1. Open the Control Panel and select Power Options.
2. On the Advanced tab, in the Power buttons section, under the option "When I close the lid of
my portable notebook, " select Do nothing.
The shortcut key on my notebook for cloning a display does not work correctly when I am using an
external monitor in Extended Mode.
Your notebook may have a shortcut key that allows you to clone your notebook display to an
external monitor connected to an external VGA connector such as the Expansion Dock. However,
if the Expansion Dock is in Extended Mode, the shortcut key may not function correctly. Changing
the Expansion Dock to Clone Mode should enable the shortcut key to function correctly; see
Adjusting Video Settings, above, for details.
Note: The shortcut key and its functionality can be different depending on the notebook. Check
your notebook's user manual or contact the manufacturer to identify the shortcut key.
The display on my external monitor is blurred.
We recommend that you auto-adjust the external monitor once in a while to realign its settings
with the video output of the Expansion Dock. This action should fix most of the issues related to
the quality of the video on the external monitor. Refer to the user manual of your monitor how to
do the auto-adjust procedure.
The video display stays on my monitor after I unplug the power adapter.
When you unplug the power adapter (C), the Expansion Dock still gets a small amount of power
from the USB connection with your notebook. However, this power source is limited and can be
unstable, so we recommend you always use the Expansion Dock with the power adapter connect-
ed and plugged into a working outlet.
On the Display Properties screen on my notebook, I do not see an entry for USB Display
Adapter (Newnham).
• Make sure that the Expansion Dock is powered and connected to a USB port on your notebook.
• Make sure that you have successfully installed the software drivers as described in Installing
the Software Drivers, above.
• In some case, you may need to restart your notebook.
My monitor shows an "Unknown Resolution Mode" or similar message.
An error message may appear if the screen resolution is set to a number that is not supported by
either the Expansion Dock (as listed in Adjusting Video Settings, above) or by the external monitor.
Select a lower screen resolution until the Windows display appears on the monitor.
The external monitor connected through the Expansion Dock is flickering.
Flickering is usually associated with CRT monitors caused by a low refresh rate. Always try and use
the maximum refresh rate available:
• In Clone Mode, increase the refresh rate of your notebook screen, which will in turn increase
the refresh rate of the external monitor.
• In Extended Mode, increase the refresh rate of the external monitor.
For supported refresh rates, see Adjusting Video Settings, above.
DVD playback does not work.
DVD playback is controlled by your notebook system and by the DVD application, not by the
Expansion Dock. The audio and video quality of DVD playback depends on your notebook system.
Some systems do not support DVD playback through the Expansion Dock:
• In Clone Mode, if the external monitor screen goes blank when you try to play a DVD,
then your system and the DVD application do not support DVD playback through the
Expansion Dock.
• In Extended Mode, if the following message appears on the external monitor screen:
"Due to limitations of your notebook's display device, this video can only play back on
one of your monitors. Please, move the video window completely onto that monitor."
we recommend that you move the DVD playback application to your notebook and start the
application again.
Ethernet Connection
My Ethernet connection is not working.
1. Be sure that the power adapter (C) is plugged into the Expansion Dock and into a working
electrical outlet, that the correct drivers are installed, and that the network cable is connected
to the Expansion Dock's Ethernet port (H).
2. On your notebook, open the Control Panel and select Network Connections. Roll the cursor
over Local Area Connection icons. One icon will display a name containing USB 2.0 Fast
Ethernet Adapter.
in the system tray.
3. Double-click on this icon. If the Connection Status shows "Connected, " the port is correctly
configured and the Ethernet connection should work properly.
4. If the status does not show "Connected, " test the cable by plugging it into the network port on
your notebook. If the status still does not indicate a connection, the problem is with the cable
or the network and is NOT related to the Expansion Dock. If the status shows "Connected, "
there may be a problem with the Expansion Dock.
Network Connection
My network connection is not working.
In order to connect to some networks, you may have to know the NIC card address for the network
card on the notebook. Follow these steps to locate the address:
1. Make sure the Expansion Dock is connected to your notebook using the USB cable (B).
2. On your notebook, open the Control Panel and select Network Connections. The following
icons are displayed: Local Area Connection, Wireless Connection (if your notebook has wireless
capabilities), and Local Area Connection x (where x is some number, for example, 2, 3, 4, etc.).
The third icon corresponds to the network connection for the Expansion Dock.
3. Right-click on that icon and select Properties.
4. On the General tab, look for the adapter name containing USB to Fast Ethernet Adapter. Roll
the cursor over the adapter name to display the NIC card address.
Audio
I cannot adjust the volume from my notebook keyboard.
If the volume control does not work using the volume control keys on your notebook, use the
mouse to adjust volume using the controls from the notebook's system tray. You can also install
the latest upgrades for your operating system to try and fix the problem; on a Windows notebook,
we recommend Windows XP Service Pack 2.
I cannot hear anything through my notebook speakers.
Some notebooks default to the USB audio when the Expansion Dock is connected, disabling your
notebook's built-in speakers. To enable the speakers:
1. Open the Control Panel and select Sounds and Audio Devices.
2. On the Audio tab, under Sound Playback, select a device that is not USB Audio.
Note: You must close the application currently using the audio device and restart it to
enable this change.
Devices
Devices on the Expansion Dock's USB ports do not operate.
You must install the software drivers (as described in Installing the Software Drivers, above) in
order for USB devices to work with Expansion Dock. If you plug a device into a USB port (B) on the
Dock before you install the drivers, your notebook will not recognize the device and the device will
not work. If the software is installed and devices do not work, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the power adapter (C) is plugged into the Expansion Dock and into a working
electrical outlet.
2. Unplug and replug the USB cable into the same USB port. If this does not correct the problem,
plug the device into a notebook USB port. If the device still does not work, there may be a
problem with the device.
3. If the device works, plug the device into each of the Expansion Dock's USB ports (F) to verify
that it works with each. For ports that do not appear to work, test again. If some ports do not
work, there may be a problem with the Expansion Dock.

Utilisation de l'Expansion Dock
Vous pouvez connecter des périphériques au port approprié sur l'Expansion Dock lorsque votre
ordinateur portable est sous tension. Il faut quelques secondes à l'ordinateur portable pour
reconnaître le nouveau périphérique.
Ports USB 2.0
Connectez le périphérique USB à l'un des quatre ports USB de l'Expansion Dock (F). Chaque port
possède un voyant lumineux d'état qui indique l'état de ce port :
• Si aucun périphérique n'est connecté au port, le voyant est éteint.
• Si un périphérique est connecté au port et que la connexion fonctionne correctement,
le voyant lumineux s'allume en vert.
Remarque : si un périphérique USB est connecté à l'Expansion Dock et qu'il ne fonctionne pas
correctement, essayez de le faire fonctionner en le branchant directement sur l'un des ports USB
disponibles sur votre ordinateur portable.
Port Ethernet
Le port Ethernet de l'Expansion Dock est un USB 2.0-to-Fast-Ethernet adapter.
Branchez un câble réseau (vendu séparément) au port Ethernet (H) pour un accès réseau à hautes
performances. Les voyants lumineux du port Ethernet fonctionnent de la façon suivante :
• Le voyant situé à gauche du port s'allume lorsqu'il existe une connexion réseau.
• Le voyant situé à droite du port s'allume lorsqu'il existe une activité réseau.
Port vidéo
Branchez un câble VGA (vendu séparément) au port de sortie vidéo VGA (G) sur l'Expansion
Dock et à un moniteur externe. Ce câble peut être connecté et déconnecté à tout moment sans
débrancher l'Expansion Dock du port USB sur votre ordinateur portable.
Remarque : la station d'accueil Notebook Expansion dock prend en charge tous les écrans LCD
et CRT analogiques. Vous pouvez également connecter des écrans DVI-A et DVI-I à l'aide d'un
convertisseur VGA vers DVI approprié.
Vous pouvez régler des paramètres vidéo pour personnaliser votre utilisation de l'Expansion Dock
with Video ; reportez-vous à la section Réglage des paramètres vidéo pour plus d'informations.
Remarque : Il est recommandé de régler automatiquement le moniteur externe de temps en
temps pour réaligner ses paramètres avec la sortie vidéo de l'Expansion Dock. Consultez le
manuel de l'utilisateur de votre moniteur pour plus d'informations sur la procédure de réglage
automatique.
Si la sortie vidéo de l'Expansion Dock ne fonctionne pas une fois que cette dernière est connectée
correctement à un moniteur externe, le pilote vidéo (USB-VGA) n'a certainement pas été installé
correctement. Suivez les étapes ci-dessous pour vérifier que le pilote est correctement installé :
1. Débranchez le câble USB (B) de l'Expansion Dock ; laissez l'adaptateur d'alimentation (C)
connecté à l'Expansion Dock.
2. Insérez le CD (D) dans le lecteur de CD-ROM ou DVD de votre ordinateur portable.
3. Sélectionnez Démarrer, Poste de travail et double-cliquez sur le lecteur de CD-ROM ou DVD
dans lequel vous avez installé le CD.
4. Double-cliquez sur le dossier USB VGA.
5. Double-cliquez sur le fichier Setup.exe.
Remarque : pendant l'installation, l'écran devient vide plusieurs fois. Ceci est normal.
6. Une fois que les pilotes sont installés, rebranchez le câble USB (B) à l'Expansion Dock.
7. L'ordinateur détecte automatiquement le nouveau périphérique USB et l'installe dans votre
ordinateur au moyen de l' A ssistant Nouveau matériel détecté.
Déconnexion de l'Expansion Dock
Vous pouvez connecter et déconnecter l'Expansion Dock alors que votre ordinateur portable
est sous tension.
1. Si l'Expansion Dock est en train de transférer des données au moyen de l'une de ses
connexions, patientez jusqu'à ce que l'opération soit terminée.
2. Si vous êtes connecté à l'aide du port Ethernet (H), fermez la connexion réseau.
3. Sur votre ordinateur portable, cliquez sur l'icône Safely Remove Hardware
dans la
barre d'état système.
4. Sélectionnez Safely Remove USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter.
5. Débranchez le câble USB (B) du port USB de votre ordinateur portable.
Lorsque vous débranchez le câble USB, l'affichage du moniteur externe connecté à l'Expansion
Dock devient vide.
Remarque : si la sortie vidéo de l'Expansion Dock est configurée en mode étendu (Extended
Mode) (reportez-vous à la section Modes vidéo), les fenêtres ouvertes sur le moniteur externe
sont transférées vers l'écran de l'ordinateur portable principal. Lorsque vous reconnectez
l'Expansion Dock à l'ordinateur portable, la sortie vidéo est de nouveau configurée pour le
mode Extended avec le moniteur externe. Néanmoins, les fenêtres qui étaient précédemment
sur le moniteur externe ne sont pas retransférées vers cet écran secondaire.
Modes vidéo
La sortie vidéo de l'Expansion Dock fonctionne dans deux modes :
• Mode clone (Clone Mode)
• Mode étendu (Extended Mode)
Mode clone (Clone Mode)
Ce mode effectue une copie (crée un affichage identique) de l'écran de votre ordinateur portable
au moniteur externe. Ceci est utile si vous souhaitez utiliser un écran de bureau plus grand
plutôt qu'un petit écran d'ordinateur portable, par exemple. En mode Clone, l'Expansion Dock
sélectionne automatiquement les paramètres (résolution de l'écran, qualité couleur et taux de
rafraîchissement) pour le moniteur externe qui permettent d'obtenir la meilleure résolution en
fonction des paramètres de votre ordinateur portable.
Par défaut, l'Expansion Dock utilise la sortie vidéo en mode Clone.
Remarque : si certaines icônes n'apparaissent pas sur votre moniteur externe car la taille de
l'affichage du ordinateur portable pour que l'affichage du moniteur les fasse apparaître.
Mode étendu (Extended Mode)
Ce mode vous permet de partager votre écran sur plusieurs moniteurs. Ceci fournit de nombreux
avantages pour augmenter la productivité :
• Lire le courrier électronique sur un écran, ouvrir les pièces jointes sur l'autre.
• Afficher un tableur sur deux écrans.
• Pour éditer des graphiques, agrandir la surface de travail en plaçant toutes les palettes et les
barres d'outils sur le deuxième écran.
• Laisser le bureau sur le moniteur externe et regarder un DVD sur l'écran de l'ordinateur portable.
Pour configurer l'Expansion Dock afin qu'elle utilise le mode Extended, suivez les étapes ci-dessous :
1. Positionnez la souris n'importe où sur le bureau de votre
ordinateur portable, cliquez avec le bouton droit de la
souris et sélectionnez Properties.
2. Dans l'écran Display Properties, cliquez sur l'onglet
Settings. Dans le menu déroulant Display, sélectionnez
l'option contenant USB Display Adapter (Newnham).
3. Cochez la case Extend my Windows desktop onto this
monitor.
4. Faites glissez les icônes dans la fenêtre en haut de
l'écran en fonction de l'organisation physique de l'écran
de votre ordinateur portable et du moniteur externe.
Remarque : cliquez sur Identify pour identifier les différents
moniteurs connectés à votre système et leurs positions.
5. Cliquez sur OK pour fermer l'écran Display Properties.

que vous souhaitez ensuite revenir en mode Clone, suivez
les étapes ci-dessous :
1. Positionnez la souris n'importe où sur le bureau de votre
mm
ordinateur portable, cliquez avec le bouton droit de la

Réglage des paramètres vidéo
En mode Clone ou Extended, vous pouvez régler les paramètres vidéo décrits ci-après. En mode
Clone, les paramètres s'appliquent au moniteur de l'ordinateur portable et au moniteur externe ;
en mode Extended, vous pouvez définir des paramètres séparés pour le moniteur de votre
ordinateur portable et le moniteur externe.
• Resolution représente le nombre de pixels affichés à l'écran horizontalement et verticalement.
Une résolution supérieure signifie que vous pouvez afficher une image plus grande à l'écran
sans la faire défiler ni la déplacer latéralement.
• Color depth définit le nombre de couleurs différentes pouvant être reproduites simultanément
à l'écran. Elle est proportionnelle à la qualité de l'image.
m
• Refresh rate (également appelé " fréquence verticale ") mesure la vitesse à laquelle l'écran
entier est rebalayé. Des fréquences supérieures réduisent le scintillement car elles éclairent
les pixels plus fréquemment, diminuant ainsi la gradation provoquant le scintillement.
