About Your Dell Wireless Dock
The Dell™ Wireless Dock enables you to connect USB peripherals such as
external storages, printers, keyboards, mice, etc. to your notebook through

use a DVI to VGA adapter.
Wireless USB technology performs best within a one-meter range;
generally within a single room environment. The technology is different
from Wi-Fi®technology and is not discoverable by any Wi-Fi device.
