Chapter 4. Working with the port replicator
This chapter provides information about the video output function of the port replicator and instructions on
how to work with the port replicator utility, which enables you to configure the port replicator to your needs.
Understanding the video output modes
The port replicator works in two video output modes:
• Extend mode
• Mirror mode
By default, the port replicator uses Extend mode to output the video.
Extend mode
Extend mode splits your display across two monitors. In the Windows XP or Windows Vista operating
system, there are two options when you are using Extend mode:
• Extend To: In this mode, your notebook computer monitor will be the primary display and the external
monitor will be the secondary display. You can give each monitor its own frame buffer through the
submenu options Right, Left, Above and Below and through drag operations. The display space will
be a continuous area, allowing windows and objects to be moved between, or even straddled across
both displays.
• Set as Main Monitor: In this mode, the external monitor will be the primary display and the notebook
computer monitor will be the secondary display.
In Extend mode, you can drag and drop windows from one display to the other. Also, you can increase
your productivity by doing the following:
• Read e-mails on one display and open the attachments on the other.
• Expand a spreadsheet across both displays.
• For graphics editing, increase your work area by putting all the palette and toolbars on the second display.
• Keep the desktop on one display and watch a DVD on the other.
Mirror mode
Mirror mode clones the display of your notebook computer monitor to the external monitor.
© Copyright Lenovo 2010, 2011

The port replicator automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality, and refresh rate) for the
external monitor, which will enable the best resolution based on your notebook computer settings.
In the Windows XP or Windows Vista operating system, there are two options when you are using Mirror
mode:
• Notebook Monitor Off: In this mode, the display of the notebook computer monitor will be off and the
display of the external monitor will be on.
• Off: In this mode, the display of the notebook computer monitor will be on and the display of external
monitor will be off. When this mode is enabled, though the display is off, the other functions such as
Ethernet, audio, and USB can still work.
Working with the port replicator utility
The utility enables you to switch between Extend mode and Mirror mode, set the resolution of the external
monitor in Extend mode, change the display settings, and disable the video output of the port replicator.
Note: The settings you have configured for the port replicator will be retained each time you connect the
notebook computer to the port replicator. This feature is useful when you use your notebook computer with
multiple port replicators. For example, if you use a notebook computer both at home and at work, you can
set up both work areas with port replicators. Then, you just connect your notebook computer to the port
replicator at either location, and you are ready to work.

secondary. Then, select Extend To or Set as Main Monitor. You can also give each monitor its own frame
buffer through the Right, Left, Above, and Below options under the Extend To option and through drag
operations. If you want to use Mirror mode, decide which monitor is on and which is off. Then, select
Notebook Monitor Off or Off.
For the Windows 7 operating system:
1. Click the Lenovo USB 2.0 Port Replicator with Digital Video icon in the taskbar notification area.
2. Select Advanced....

original date of purchase specified on your sales receipt or invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in
writing. The warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below
under the section titled “Warranty Information.”
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES
OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT,
SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW AND ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME
STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY
LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty service by
contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a “Service Provider.” A list
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges may
apply outside a Service Provider's normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific
information.
What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures
specified.
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone, e-mail, or
through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated
software updates.
Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you can install yourself called a “Customer
Replaceable Unit” or “CRU.” If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software
updates or the installation of a CRU by you, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of
warranty service designated for the product under the section titled “Warranty Information.”

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will replace
it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole remedy
is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase price.
Replacement of a Product or Part
When the warranty service involves the replacement of a product or part, the replaced product or part
becomes Lenovo's property and the replacement product or part becomes your property. Only unaltered
Lenovo products and parts are eligible for replacement. The replacement product or part provided by
Lenovo may not be new, but it will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the
original product or part. The replacement product or part shall be warranted for the balance of the period
remaining on the original product.
Before your Service Provider replaces a product or part, you agree to:
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;
2. ensure that the product or part is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its replacement;
and
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product or part if you do
not own it.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:
1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;
2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;
3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to perform service; and
4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals (“Personal Data”) is deleted from
the product or that, with respect to any Personal Data that you did not delete, you are in compliance
with all applicable laws.
Use of Personal Information
If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use, and process information about your warranty
service and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail address. Lenovo
will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our business relationship
with you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty service or to notify
you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we may transfer your
information to any country where we do business and may provide it to entities acting on our behalf. We may
also disclose it where required by law.

• uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
• loss of, or damage to, your data;
• any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;
• failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper maintenance by you;

to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such instance, regardless of the basis of your claim against
Lenovo (including breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except and to the
extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, Lenovo shall not be liable for more than
the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you, up to the amount you paid for the product. This limit
does not apply to damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property or tangible
personal property for which Lenovo is liable under law.

for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider are collectively responsible.

If required, your Service Provider will provide repair or exchange service depending on the type of warranty
service specified for your product and the available service. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time
of your call, parts availability, and other factors.
A warranty period of three (3) years on parts and one (1) year on labor means that Lenovo will provide
warranty service without charge for:
a. parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period (or a longer period as required by law); and
b. parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the warranty period. Your Service
Provider will charge you for any labor provided in performance of the repair or replacement in the second
and third years of the warranty period.
Types of Warranty Service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) Service
Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for installation by you. CRU information and
replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon
request. CRUs that are easily installed by you are called Self-service CRUs, while Optional-service CRUs
may require some technical skill and tools. Installation of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may
request that a Service Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of the other types of warranty
service designated for your product. An optional service offering may be available for purchase from Lenovo
to have Lenovo install Self-service CRUs for you. You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the
CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1)
return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement
CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the
defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your location.
You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product. For
some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated
service center.

3. Courier or Depot Service
Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service center,
with shipping arranged by your Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A
shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product to a designated service center.
A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or
exchange, the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated
service center, with delivery or shipping arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your
Service Provider specifies, (prepaid by you unless specified otherwise) the product, suitably packaged to a
designated location. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your
collection. Failure to collect the product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it
sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovo's expense, unless your Service
Provider specifies otherwise.
5. Product Exchange Service
Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product to your location. You are
responsible for its installation and verification of its operation. The replacement product becomes your
property in exchange for the failed product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must pack
the failed product in the shipping carton used to ship the replacement product and return it to Lenovo.
Transportation charges, both ways, are paid by Lenovo. Failure to use the carton in which the replacement
product was received may result in your responsibility for damage to the failed product during shipment. You
may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive the failed product within thirty (30)
days of your receipt of the replacement product.
