Using the dynadock™ and Adjusting Settings
If you use multiple dynadocks with a single computer (for example,
one at work and one at home), the video settings for each
dynadock™ are saved when you disconnect the computer. This
enables you to have each dynadock™ adjusted to different video
settings for each location. The settings are retained each time you
use the dynadock™ with your computer.

Adjusting video settings

This section describes detailed information on adjusting the video
settings for a display connected to the dynadock™.

Selecting Extended mode or Mirror mode

You can choose to set the dynadock's video output signal to
Extended mode or Mirror mode.
Extended mode extends your desktop space across multiple
displays, so that you can display different information on each
display connected to your computer. This provides a number of
advantages to increase productivity, including the ability to:
❖
View large spreadsheets across two screens
❖
Multi-task more effectively without overlapping windows
❖
Compare two documents simultaneously across two screens
❖
View media on one screen and send messages on the other
Mirror mode duplicates the image on your computer screen on an
external display connected to the dynadock™. This mode is useful
if, for example, you want to view information on a larger, external
desktop display instead of a smaller, built-in computer screen. In
Mirror mode, the dynadock™ automatically adjusts the external
display's resolution, color quality, and refresh rate settings based on
your computer's settings.
To configure the dynadock's video output signal to Mirror mode or
Extended mode, connect an external display to the dynadock™ as
described in the section
page 21, and then follow the steps below:
1 Click the dynadock U3.0 icon in the system
