Congratulations on your purchase of the Targus Mobile 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 USE 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.
Features
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.
Comfort
The raised platform provides a more comfortable position for hands and increased airflow for better cooling.
The Docking Station provides the following ports:
15-pin VGA (Supports 1280 x 1024 at 16 bit colour)
- Two 3.5 mm Audio: (1) stereo out and (1) microphone in
- RS232 Serial

Press the Targus Always On button to enable the black USB ports to continue providing power even when the laptop is powered down or disconnected from the docking station. This allows you to charge the batteries of any USB rechargeable accessory you may have connected.
Using USB Devices That Require More Power
Some devices, which use large amounts of power, such as printers and optical drives, should be plugged into the USB Power Ports. These ports will provide up to 1000mA of power - double the power on standard USB ports.
Product Limitations
Some devices may halt temporarily when a high data transfer is occurring. For example, your mouse may respond slowly while a graphic print job is printing or while you are experiencing heavy network traffic.
We recommend the following guidelines:
- Do not transfer data to or from multiple high-speed devices, such as a digital camera or scanner, at the same time.
- If speed degradation does occur, close other programs that use a USB device to improve device performance.
Troubleshooting
Device Not Working
- Make sure that the device is fully inserted into the correct port on the docking station.
- Plug the device into a different port on the docking station. If it still doesn't work, test the device by connecting it directly to your computer.
- Verify that you ran the Setup or Install program for the device.
- Make sure that the device appears in Device Manager. For more information refer to "Verifying Devices are Installed" on page 17.
Targus Mobile Docking Station with Video
- Disconnect all devices from the docking station and reconnect them, one at a time. Check that each device works before plugging in the next one.
- Each USB port is equipped with over-current protection. Should a USB device draw more current than the USB port can supply, the port will shut down. To re-enable the port, unplug the device and go to Device Manager or to the message in the system tray and choose the Reset option. You can then plug the device back into the USB port. If a shut down reoccurs, check the power requirements of the device.
Verifying Devices are Installed
You can view the devices installed on the docking station from the Device Manager window in System Properties.
Right-click My Computer, Properties, then click the Hardware tab, and then the Device Manager button.
From the Device Manager window, expand the following:
- Display Adapters — displays Targus USB 2.0 VGA dock device
- Human Interface Devices — displays keyboards and pointing devices: mice, trackballs, and joysticks
- Network Adapters — displays ADM851X USB to fast ethernet adapter
- Ports (COM & LPT) — Serial on USB [COM x]
- Sound, Video and Game Controllers — displays USB audio device
- Universal Serial Bus controllers — displays the other devices installed for the docking station and generic hub.
Verifying a Serial Modem Connection
When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify that the port assigned to your modem is Serial USB (COMx), where x is the number of the COM port.
If the operating system does not detect automatically that your modem is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), run the Hardware Wizard again and choose Select from the list instead of Autodetect. Then, select Serial USB (COMx) as the COM port.
Error Message on Your PDA
If the error message "Connection Not Established" appears on your PDA, check that the COM port setting in either your HotSync or ActiveSync software matches the setting on the docking station. See "Verifying Devices are Installed" on page 17 to verify the COM port setting on the docking station.
Some older versions of the Palm ® Desktop software are not compatible with the USB to Serial conversion. Please contact your PDA vendor for software updates.
Video
Can I get a higher resolution on my monitor?
- No, resolution is set at 1280 × 1024 , 16-bit colour.
Can disk I/O functions such as, extensive reading and writing to an external hard drive or DVD, degrade video functionality?
- Yes. Since all data has to pass through a single USB connection, you may notice some degradation of your video performance. Video performance will return when disk read/write decreases or stops.
