APPENDIX Docking Solution For long-term use of the Notebook PC or if the Notebook PC is intended to be a desktop replacement computer, the PortDock provides a convient docking solution. A desktop PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard, stereo speakers, monitor, printer, serial device, and Notebook PC power can all be connected to the PortDock. When the Notebook PC is used on a permanent desk, the single docking connector can be easily used to connect or disconnect all of these desktop peripherals at once. The result is a complete desktop computer with a space-saving flat panel! When portability is required simply remove the PortDock connector (and LAN cable if used) and you're off! A second power adapter kept at a secondary site or in your Notebook PC carrying bag will be helpful so that it does not require constant removal and setup on your desktop. Audio CD When an audio CD is inserted into the CD/DVD-ROM within the PortDock, the CD player software in the Notebook PC will be activated and the LCD display and CD controls of the PortDock disabled. The CD controls will be available again after the software audio player is running. The audio output of the CD/DVD-ROM will be heard only through the PortDock's stereo speakers. When the PortDock's cable is removed from the Notebook PC or if the Notebook PC is turned OFF, the CD/DVD-ROM within the PortDock will rescan for audio tracks and if detected will enable the LCD display and CD controls. Two dashes will be see in the PortDock's LCD display if there are no audio tracks detected. 84

APPENDIX
Docking Solution
For long-term use of the Notebook PC or if the Notebook PC is intended to be a desktop replacement
computer, the PortDock provides a convient docking solution. A desktop PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard,
stereo speakers, monitor, printer, serial device, and Notebook PC power can all be connected to the
PortDock. When the Notebook PC is used on a permanent desk, the single docking connector can be
easily used to connect or disconnect all of these desktop peripherals at once. The result is a complete
desktop computer with a space-saving flat panel! When portability is required simply remove the Port-
Dock connector (and LAN cable if used) and you’re off! A second power adapter kept at a secondary
site or in your Notebook PC carrying bag will be helpful so that it does not require constant removal and
setup on your desktop.
Audio CD
When an audio CD is inserted into the CD/DVD-ROM within the PortDock, the CD player software in
the Notebook PC will be activated and the LCD display and CD controls of the PortDock disabled. The
CD controls will be available again after the software audio player is running. The audio output of the
CD/DVD-ROM will be heard only through the PortDock’s stereo speakers. When the PortDock’s cable
is removed from the Notebook PC or if the Notebook PC is turned OFF, the CD/DVD-ROM within the
PortDock will rescan for audio tracks and if detected will enable the LCD display and CD controls. Two
dashes will be see in the PortDock’s LCD display if there are no audio tracks detected.
