USB 2.0 Display Adapter - HD User’s Manual 

Standby and Hibernate, Shut Down and Restart 

When the adapter is connected to a computer and an external monitor, if the computer 

goes into standby or hibernate mode, the external monitor display goes blank.   

When the computer returns to an active state, the external monitor display keeps the same 

settings it had before the computer went into standby or hibernate mode. However, if the 

add-on monitor was set for extended mode, windows that were previously on the external 

monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor. Also, if the add-on monitor is in 

extended mode and the computer requires a login after standby or hibernate mode, the 

login screen appears on the primary computer monitor, not the external monitor. 

If the computer is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the add-on monitor returns to 

the same mode as it was before shutdown. 

 

Disconnecting the Adapter 

If the adapter is unplugged from the computer, the add-on monitor goes blank. All windows 

and icons move to the primary screen. 

On reconnection of the adapter, the adapter returns to the same mode as it was before 

disconnection. However, windows and icons that were previously on the screen will not be 

moved back. 

 

Using Dual Adapters 

Up to two adapters can be simultaneously attached to one computer. To use two adapters: 

1.  Install the driver as described in the “2. Installation” section and connect the first 

adapter to your computer.   

2.  Then connect the second adapter to your computer. The system will automatically 

complete the installation.   

While two adapters are connected to a computer, in most cases both adapters supports 

extended and mirror modes. The only exception is on Windows Vista XDDM mode as 

described below.
