Getting Help
Dell provides a number of tools to help you if your docking device does not
perform as expected. For information on these help tools, see the “Getting
Help” section in the computer’s User’s Guide.
Docking Device Overview
NOTE: Alert your network administrator before you connect the docking
device to a network.
You must attach an AC adapter to the docking device before you dock the
computer to the docking device and turn on the computer. The AC adapter
powers the docking device and the computer at the same time. Any battery
installed in the computer charges while you use the docking device.
NOTICE: Always use the Dell PA-6 AC adapter that came with the docking
device. If you use any other commercially available AC adapter—or the AC
adapter from older models of Dell computers—you may damage the docking
device or the computer.
