Depending upon the configuration of your Tablet PC, the display image may or may not change orientation automatically when the display is rotated. To manually change the orientation of the display image, use the Orientation application button. (See your system User’s Guide for more information).

ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE DISPLAY

To adjust the angle of the display, press the two easel release buttons towards each other (See figure 2 on page 2 for location). While the buttons are pressed, slide the easel to the desired position. Release the buttons when the display is at the desired angle.

CONNECTING DEVICES

This section contains instructions on attaching external peripherals to your Tablet Dock.

To Attach an External VGA Monitor

This option allows you to use an external monitor with your system. The only requirement is that the external device (monitor, projector) is a VGA device. Consult the instructions that come with the device.

1.Securely insert the external monitor plug into the display port on the back of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2). Always check the icon by the port before inserting. Tighten screws if available.

2.You may switch between the internal monitor and external monitor using the Display Configuration utility located in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen, or through the Control Panel settings.

To Attach a USB device

If your Tablet PC supports USB 2.0 devices, the Tablet Dock will also support USB 2.0 devices.

To attach a USB device, securely insert the connector into one of the three USB ports on the left side of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2). It may be necessary to wait a short time while the appropriate drivers are located and installed by the system.

To Attach an IEEE 1394 device

The IEEE 1394 interface allows you to attach IEEE 1394- compliant devices (e.g., digital cameras, digital video cameras) to the docked system.

T a b l e t D o c k U s e r ’ s G u i d e

To attach an IEEE 1394 device, securely insert the connector into the IEEE 1394 jack on the left side of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2).

Refer to the device manufacturer’s installation and usage instructions for configuration instructions.

To Attach External Audio Equipment

The Tablet Dock provides a Line Out jack for head- phones or external speakers.

Connecting external speaker, headphones, or microphone disables the system’s internal speaker or internal microphone.

To attach an external audio device, insert the plug into the Line Out jack on the back of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2).

To Attach a LAN Device

The LAN (RJ-45) jack allows you to connect the system’s internal Fast Ethernet to a LAN, or broadband devices such as a cable modem, DSL, or satellite internet.

Some models of the Stylistic ST Series Tablet PCs support Gigabit Ethernet. If your Tablet PC supports Gigabit Ethernet, the Tablet Dock will also support it.

To attach a LAN device, insert the plug into the LAN (RJ-45) jack on the back of the Tablet Dock.

Refer to the device manufacturer’s installation and usage instructions for configuration instructions.

USING THE INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE

The Tablet Dock may be outfitted with an optical drive or weight saver insert. The instructions for installing and removing disks is the same for all drives. For informa- tion about the software’s features and capabilities, refer to the help files associated with the related applications.

Do not operate your optical drive unless your system is sitting on a relatively flat surface. Using the drive when the system is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation.

Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will significantly reduce your battery life if no other power source is attached. Be sure to attach a power adapter when using the Tablet Dock for prolonged tasks.
