It works well for me, but I can't tell how it knows.

Thanks.

There is a small magnet embedded in one of the side edges of the cover that triggers some sort of microswitch on the 770. There is nothing special about the magnet. I have been able to trigger the switch with a regular magnet. I can't remember if the polarity was important or not as it was a while back. So if it doesn't work one way, flip the magnet around and try again.
