Connecting the computer to the docking station

You may connect your computer to the docking station as long as it is not in a power saving mode, i.e., Standby or Hibernate. Connecting the computer while it is in a power saving mode may result in data loss or a computer malfunction. Note the following before connecting your computer to the docking station:

Disconnect the VGA, USB, AC, and Ethernet devices from your computer. Leaving these devices connected while you connect the docking station could damage them.

Ensure that the battery is installed. If you install a charged battery, you can connect the docking station while the computer is on.
