5. Using the Dock n’ Charge
This section provides information on how to use the headset and
microphone jacks, Gigabit Ethernet connector, USB connectors, and
video outputs on the Dock n’Charge.
 Using the headset and microphone jacks:
The headset and microphone jacks are located in the front of the Dock n’Charge and
are both 3.5 mm in size.
To use the headset and microphone jacks simply, connect your headset, speaker or
microphone to the appropriate jack.
Note: The headset and microphone jacks on the docking station are automatically
enabled when you have successfully connected the docking station to your laptop or
tablet and installed the device driver. However, if you cannot hear anything from the
headset connected to the 3.5mm jack on the docking station, you can manually
enable the headset by right clicking on the volume icon in the taskbar
Using the Gigabit Ethernet connector
To use the Gigabit Ethernet connector on the docking station, connect the docking
station to a standard 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network, and wait until the
docking station is fully configured by the Windows operating system.
Using the USB connectors
To use the USB connectors, connect a USB device to any of the six USB connectors on
the docking station with a USB cable. When the USB device is correctly connected to
a USB connector on the docking station , an information window will be displayed in
the Windows notification area, indicating that the USB device has been connected to
the computer.
Using the USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function
The USB 3.0 connector with battery charging function enables you to charge USB
devices even when the computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, or the docking
station is disconnected from the computer. 2 of the USB 3.0 ports enable battery
charging, 1 in the front and 1 in the back. They are clearly marked on the unit.
Notes:
•Most mobile devices can be charged by the USB 3.0 port with battery charging
function, but some devices with special configurations might not be charged.
•The charging time varies depending on the device configuration and the
environment.

9
Using the video outputs
The video outputs on the Dock n’ Charge consist of one HDMI connector and
one DVI-I connector. A VGA monitor can be plugged into the DVI-I output with the
included DVI to VGA adapter. You can simultaneously connect up to two external
displays to the docking station using the two video outputs. You do not have to
disconnect the docking station from your computer each time when you connect the
external displays.
To use the video outputs, connect a DVI cable (or VGA cable using the included
adapter) to an external display. For displays with an HDMI input or for connecting
the docking station to a television, you can use the available HDMI output. This
output supports both video & audio to the television.

6. Configuring External Displays
This Section describes how to use DisplayLink Software which is
included with the Dock n’ Charge and is used to run the external
displays
Notes:
• The DisplayLink System tray Graphical User Interface (GUI), covered below, will only
be available when the Dock n’ Charge is plugged into the USB port of the computer
and an external display is plugged into the Dock n’ Charge
• Terminology for “Mirror Mode” can vary between operation systems and the
DisplayLink GUI. The terms “Clone”, “Mirror”, and “Duplicate” are interchangeable and
provide the same function of making the contents of the selected displays identical.
Resolution Support
When a Display is connected to the Dock n’ Charge, the DisplayLink host software
reads the supported modes (resolutions) of the Display. These are the only modes
offered through the DisplayLink GUI or Windows Display Properties window. The
software will use the monitor’s preferred mode by default.
If the Display does not report any supported modes, DisplayLink will offer a list of
default modes to choose
Note: This communication standard is called EDID. While connecting your external
display directly to your computer may allow you to use other resolutions that what we
provide, we strictly adhere to the EDID protocol. This is the only way to ensure that a
resolution or refresh rate that could cause damage to the external Display is never
used.
Windows 8 & 7 – Controlling the Display
When Displays are attached, an icon appears in the taskbar. This gives you access to
the DisplayLink Manager menu.
To use the DisplayLink Manager menu:
Click on the DisplayLink icon:
If the DisplayLink Icon is not showing, from the Taskbar,
click on the ‘ Show Hidden Icons’
arrow to show all available icons.

After clicking on the DisplayLink icon, a menu appears with several options. They are
shown and described below.
Select an option from the menu, using the following tables for the options available

6.1 Understanding the Video Output Modes
The Dock n’ Charge works in the following three video output modes:
•“Extend mode”
•“Mirror mode”
•“Single-display mode”
By default, the docking station works in extend mode. All three options can be
changed by clicking on the DisplayLink icon located in the Task Bar and discussed
earlier in section 6.0
 Extend Mode
When the Dock n’ Charge is in extend mode, it splits your display across multiple
monitors.
There are three options when you are using Extend Mode:
•Extend: When you select this option, your Laptop/Tablet monitor becomes the
primary display and the external monitor(s) become the secondary display(s), and
the external monitor display(s) are on the right side of the notebook computer
monitor display by default.
•Extend To: When you select this option, your Laptop/Tablet monitor becomes
the primary display and the external monitor(s) become the secondary display(s).
You can give each monitor its own frame buffer through the submenu options
Right, Left, Above, and Below. The display space is a continuous area; therefore,
windows and objects can be moved between different displays, or even straddled
across multiple displays.
•Set as Main Monitor: When you select this option, the external monitor(s)
become the primary display(s) and the Laptop/Tablet monitor becomes the
secondary display.

15
Mirror mode
When the Dock n’ Charge is in mirror mode, it clones your Laptop/Tablet screen to the
external monitor(s). The docking station automatically selects the settings (screen
resolution, color quality, and refresh rate) for the external monitor(s), which will enable
the best resolution based on your Laptop/Tablet’s resolution capabilities.
Single-display mode
When the Dock n’ Charge is in single-display mode, it enables you to show your
desktop on only one screen.
There are two options when you are using single-display mode:
•Laptop/Tablet Monitor Off:
When you select this option, the display of your computer monitor turns off
and the display of the external monitor turns on.
Note: This option is available when there is only one external monitor
connected to the docking station.
•Off:
When you select this option, the display of the external monitor(s) turns off and
the display of your notebook computer monitor turns on. However, the other
functions such as audio, Ethernet, and USB connection still work though the
display is off.

16
 Fit to TV
What is Fit to TV?
• If using your Dock n’ Charge to connect to a TV, all of the Windows desktop may
not be available to view. Many TVs will automatically 'overscan' the image streamed
by cutting off the borders and filling the screen with the image.
• On some TVs it may be possible to turn this 'overscan' off in your TVs settings
menu. Consult your TVs User Manual to see if this is an option for you. If you can do
so, then you will not need to use the Fit to TV function of the DisplayLink UI. This is
the best way to correct this issue.
• Fit to TV can be used to reduce the size of the Windows desktop on the TV screen.
Notes:
• Fit to TV only works in extend mode. If choosing the option while in mirror mode,
the DisplayLink screen will change to extend and be placed above the laptop screen in
Windows Display Properties.
• Fit to TV does not support rotated modes.
Using ‘Fit to TV’
•To configure Fit to TV, choose the option from the DisplayLink GUI. The following
interface appears:

17
•You will also see a red border on the External display
•The red border shows the size of the new Windows desktop. Use the “+” and “-”
controls on the Fit to TV GUI to change the size of the red border until it fits on the TV
screen.
Note: Finer configuration of the size of the border can be achieved by holding down
the CTRL key and clicking the “+” and “-”.
•Once the red border is at the edges of the TV screen, click “Apply” to resize the
Windows desktop.

 Inferred Modes
Some modes in the DisplayLink GUI are shown with [ ] around them.
•This occurs when connecting a monitor with a preferred mode higher than the
maximum supported resolution of the W device
•In this case, the preferred resolution of the monitor cannot be supported. However
we add lower resolutions of the same aspect ratio to be tried with the monitor. Modes
in square brackets [ ] imply that these are modes not reported by the monitor, but have
been made available by the DisplayLink software for you to try.
•As these are inferred modes from the preferred mode of the monitor, they are not
guaranteed to work with the display.
