TARGUS UNIVERSAL

NOTEBOOK DOCKING

STATION WITH VIDEO

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus

Universal Notebook Docking Station with Video. This

portable expansion module allows you to connect

through a single USB connection up to 4 USB devices,

monitor, network (Ethernet/LAN) connection, speakers,

microphone and a serial device.

The docking station also offers Targus Always On

technology, Targus Power Port providing twice the USB

spec for high power devices, and USB ports that are

widely spaced for larger adapters. Targus Always On

provides power to the USB ports even when the

notebook is shut-down, disconnected from the docking

station or in hibernate/stand-by mode. This allows USB

devices that charge via the USB port to keep charging

under any circumstance.

Fe at u re s

Heat dissipation by natural convection:

Place the back edge of your laptop on the rubber pads of

the Docking Station. Most laptops dissipate heat through

the bottom and the more air that’s allowed to flow under

the bottom, the better chance that heat will dissipate by

natural convection.

The raised platform provides a more comfortable position

for hands and increased airflow for better cooling.
