Working with the PowerBook Duo System This section summarizes m how your PowerBook Duo behaves when it is docked, or
when it is moved from one Duo Dock to another
m how to take advantage of the Duo Dock’s features Your preferences The PowerBook Duo uses your preferences—including desktop pattern, window views, and so forth—when you dock it. This means that your PowerBook will be customized the way you like it no matter where you work. The PowerBook Duo can also remember certain selections that apply only when you are docked (such as an Ethernet network
setting). Each time you dock, these settings take effect again without any action on your part.
Battery recharging A docked PowerBook Duo draws power from the Duo Dock, not
from its own battery. The battery recharges while the PowerBook is in the dock. You can remove the battery before docking if you want to recharge it in a recharger. You can also remove the battery from the PowerBook while it is docked if you want to recharge a
second battery inside the PowerBook. Power conservation A docked PowerBook Duo does not sleep. You cannot put the
PowerBook to sleep as long as it remains docked. The microprocessor in a docked PowerBook Duo does not cycle on and off, because there is no drain of power from the battery.
