How to Prolong Battery Life
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC e740 with the AC adapter.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC under the following conditions,
the power consumption will be higher than normal. Please use the AC
adapter when:
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC e740 is operated while connected to your
computer.
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC e740 is operated with a storage card or
with any other optional equipment.
■ Select the short power-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten
the time the unit will remain on if not used. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter.
■ Turn off the front light.
■ Set the screen brightness to power save mode (Med Bright or low
Bright). Also shorten the light turn-off time. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter.
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with an ambient temperature between
15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F). This temperature range is the most
effective for the battery.
■ When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC e740 in high or low
temperature environments, the operable time is shortened due to
the decrease of the battery capacity.
■ Turn off the Wireless Communication Switch when you don’t use
Bluetooth or Wireless LAN (Bluetooth and Wireless LAN models
only).
Battery Life
The battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging of the
battery gradually decreases operable time.
■ Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC in a place of high or low
temperature. It may shorten battery life.
If you have not used the Toshiba Pocket PC for several days, its battery
charge level reading may be inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery before
using.

confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the
line.
■ For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
■ Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words
so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
■ Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
■ If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®,you can synchronize the information on
your computer with the information on your device. Synchronization
compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both
computers with the most recent information. For example:
■ Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device
with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
■ Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
device and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
■ Back up and restore your device data.
■ Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and
computer.
■ Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize
command.
■ Select which information types are synchronized and control how
much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many
weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your PC from the
Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your device.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you
connect your Pocket PC to your PC, set up a partnership so you can
synchronize information between your Pocket PC and your PC, and
customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization
process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.

mail messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync® you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your computer with your device. You can also
synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server.
Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made
on your device and computer or server and updates both computers with
the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see
ActiveSync Help on the computer.
You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service
you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on
the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends
on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then
Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and
then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to
another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then
tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail
server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
■ If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync.
The folders you create and the messages you move will then be
mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from
the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated
Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family
folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the
messages while away from your computer.
■ If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
■ If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and
their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail
server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox
and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no
longer have access to messages that you move to folders created
from anywhere except the device.
■ If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you
move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to
you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your
device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/ delete
folders when connected.

■ DNS: Domain Name System is a database system that translates
addresses and domain names. For example, a numeric address like
232.245.021.54 can become something like cba.com. DNS can also
be used to control Internet email delivery.
■ WINS: In Pocket PC, Windows Internet Naming Service has two
functions; one is a Microsoft Net BIO name server that eliminates the
broadcasts needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by
providing a cache or database of translations. The other one is to set
the IP address of the host computer that you already construct the
partnership for Network adaptor Active sync purpose.
Without setting the host computer’s IP address in the WINS, you cannot
wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC with your host computer.
■ Alt DNS: Alt DNS stands for Alternative Domain Name System. Used
to substitute main DNS when necessary.
■ Alt WINS: Alt WINS stands for Alternative Windows Internet Naming
Service. Used to substitute main WINS when necessary.

■ Mode: Use the Mode pull-down menu to select the operating mode.
Infrastructure – This is a default mode. This mode allows Wireless LAN
Module to transmit and receive data with an Access Point. This mode
enables roaming between AP cells in the network.
802.11 Ad Hoc – This mode allows Wireless LAN Module to form its
own local network where adaptors communicate peer-to-peer without
Access Points using a shared SSID.
■ SSID: Service Set Identifier is a group name that will be shared by
every member of your wireless network. You will only be able to
connect with an Access Point (AP), which has the same SSID. Note
that the SSID will be case sensitive. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the
SSID must be the same among stations so that the Pocket PC can
communicate properly within the Wireless Network.
■ Channel: In France, only channel 10 and 11 are available. In USA,
Canada, Europe or Australia, you have 11 options: channel 1~11.
If you cannot connect with the APs or the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network
Stations, check if the channel been used is between 1~11. Using channels
other than 1~11 will not enable the connection.
The channel is set by the adaptor, which starts the 802.11Ad Hoc
network. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the first station forms the 802.11
Ad Hoc network should choose a proper SSID and the channel for
use. Other stations will only have the same SSID set to join the 802.11
Ad Hoc network automatically.
■ Rescan: Used to search the proper Access Point close to the
adaptor.
■ Link Quality: An indicator of how clearly the adaptor can hear the
Access Point.

ATI Presentation Pack
Introduction
The Toshiba Expansion Pack with ATI IMAGEON Dual Display Solution
comes bundled with the ATI Presentation Pack, which includes the IA
Presenter and IA Screen Mirror modules.
IA Presenter
Take your Microsoft Windows PowerPoint slides and use IA Presenter to
run a smooth presentation directly from your Pocket PC. IA Presenter can
run as a standalone mobile PowerPoint player using your portable
device’s LCD screen. But with IA Presenter and the Toshiba Expansion
Pack linked to an LCD projector or a monitor, you can create powerful
presentations from your Pocket PC.
IA Screen Mirror
This module projects the current contents of your Pocket PC’s LCD
screen onto an external projector, or monitor. It can display up to nine
different images from your LCD output at the same time on the second
display.
Installing the ATI Presentation Pack
All components of the ATI Presentation Pack are installed together by
doing as follows:
1
Make sure your Pocket PC is connected to your computer and that an
ActiveSync connection has been established.
2
Start the ATI Presentation Pack installation by running the Setup
program.
You can setup ATI Presentation Pack from Companion CD (Enhance Your
Pocket PC > Tools > AT Presentation Pack > Install)

messages via the Windows Start Menu.
A Note about Updates to the ATI Presentation Pack
Your copy of the ATI Presentation Pack contains the latest versions of IA
Presenter and IA Screen Mirror. For updates, please visit the IA Style web
site (www.iastyle.com).
IA Presenter
Getting Started
After you invoke IA Presenter, the screen lists all the converted
PowerPoint presentations currently in your \My Documents folder. A
sample presentation file is included with the installation, so at least one
file will be listed when you initially invoke IA Presenter.
To receive a presentation file into the \My Documents folder of your
Pocket PC via Infrared beaming, tap Tools in the lower left corner of the
screen, then select Receive via InfraRed... from the menu shown above.
To drag- and-drop a PowerPoint file from your computer to your Pocket
PC, see the section Using IA Presenter’s Desktop Converter on the
next page.
The Options... command on the Tools Menu opens the General, File,
Display, and VGA Output tabs. These tabs are explained in the on-line
Help file, which can be accessed from the Tools Menu by tapping
Help....Or, after opening one of the tabs, select Help from the Windows
Start Menu.

ATI Presentation Pack
Using IA Presenter’s Desktop Converter
When you drag-and-drop a PowerPoint file from your PC to your Pocket
PC, the ActiveSync Converter in the IA Presenter will automatically
convert the PowerPoint file to a special IA Presenter format for your
Pocket PC, using the resolution you specify. The file will be placed in any
folder on your mobile device where you choose to drag-and-drop it.
PowerPoint 97 or PowerPoint 2000 (or greater) is necessary for using IA
Presneter’s Desktop Converter.
There are two ways to open the “Set ActiveSync Conversion Options”
dialog box:
■ 1) Select ATI Presentation Pack from the Start Menu, and then Set
IA Presenter ActiveSync Conversion Options from the submenu.
The dialog box will open, establishing it as your default PowerPoint
filter for your ActiveSync drag-and-drop operations. You can choose a
dimension and then uncheck the Show this option dialog box next
time checkbox (it is checked by default as shown in the figure above).
If you uncheck it, the dialog box will not open whenever you drag-
and-drop a file from your computer to your mobile device. Instead, the
dimension you specified will be used during each conversion.
■ 2) You can set the dimension each time you drag-and-drop a
PowerPoint file from your computer to your mobile device. If the Show
this option dialog box next time checkbox has not been un-checked,
the IA Presenter “Set ActiveSync Conversion Options” dialog box will
open automatically every time you drag-drop a PowerPoint file to your
Pocket PC.
Choosing Dimensions for the Converted .IAP File
The conversion filter supports both PPT and PPS PowerPoint files. The
conversion options are:
■ Pocket PC LCD Size – 320 x 240: Select this option if you only want
to display the presentation on the LCD screen of your Pocket PC.
However, if you have tried the 320 x 240 button and then find that
images on the Pocket PC screen have been “stretched” to fit the
screen, and you do not want this effect, try converting again using the
User-defined button. After selecting User-defined, enter 240 in the
first box, and 320 in the second box.
If you want to prepare the file to project the presentation to a VGA screen
or video monitor, select one of these options:
■ VGA – 640 x 480
■ SVGA – 800 x 600
■ User-defined: If you do not want to use one of the pre-defined
dimensions listed above, select the User-defined option and enter
your own value in the fields.
XGA 1024 x 768 is not supported.

ATI Presentation Pack
Opening a Presentation and Using View Modes
When you invoke IA Presenter, the first screen that appears lists all the
converted PowerPoint presentations currently in your \My Documents
folder. Tap on the name of the file you want to load. You can then choose
from the following view modes.
Normal View
Normal view allows you to view the current slide in the upper pane, while
still able to navigate slides conveniently using the lower thumbnail pane.
You can drag the Splitter Bar that divides the two panes up or down, to
adjust the screen distribution above and below the splitter. The Normal
View icon is located at the leftmost side of the Toolbar, as shown below.
You can also use the stylus to pan the slide image in the upper pane to
show the part covered by the lower pane. The splitter position will
automatically be remembered across multiple application sessions,
freeing you from having to adjust the splitter position again during the
current IA Presenter session.
To display a different slide in the upper pane, simply tap on the desired
thumbnail in the lower pane, or use the Slide Title Bar (unnamed slides
will be represented by a number in the Slide Title Bar drop-down list). The
lower thumbnail pane in Normal view provides slide navigation. If you
want to select multiple slides for further operations, use the Slide Sorter
view, as explained in the next section.
You can project the currently selected slide to VGA Display by activating
the VGA Slide Toggle command on the View Menu, or by tapping the
VGA Slide Output Toggle icon at the rightmost side of the Toolbar. To
end the projection, select the command again to toggle it off.
Slide Sorter
Slide Sorter view fills the entire application space with either large or
small thumbnails, depending on whether Large Thumbnail or Small
Thumbnail is active on the View Menu. You can select:
■ One slide by tapping on it, or
■ Multiple adjacent slides by dragging your stylus over them, or
■ If you select Multiple Select Mode on the Edit Menu, you can tap,
drag, or a combination thereof, to select multiple slides that are
separated.
Selected slides will be highlighted by a different border color.
You can project an individual slide to the VGA output by activating the
VGA Slide Toggle command on the View Menu, or by tapping the VGA
Slide Output Toggle icon at the rightmost side of the Toolbar. When you
activate this function:
■ If one slide is selected at the time you toggle the VGA Slide Output
“on,” that slide will be output to the VGA Display.
■ If multiple slides happen to be selected, the first selected slide in the
sequence will be output to the VGA Display.

ATI Presentation Pack
■ If no slides are selected, there is no change to the current status of
the VGA Display. That is, if an image is already displayed on the VGA
Display, that image remains until you select a slide on your LCD
screen for projection.
To end the projection and return to viewing the slide only on your mobile
device’s screen, just select the command again (or tap the icon a second
time) to toggle it off.
Indicator Icons under Thumbnails
Under each thumbnail in Slide Sorter view mode, there may be various
small icons displayed which indicate the status/attributes of the slide, as
follows:
The transition icon indicates that a transition effect has been associated
with the slide, and tapping the icon will “demo” the transition effect.
The shape icon indicates that the slide contains animated shapes.
If you assigned a transition delay-time to the slide in the Automatically
field of the Edit Menu > Slide Transition... screen, the delay- time will be
shown.
The slide number is always shown at the right. If the slide has been
hidden using the Hide Slide command on the Edit Menu, the slide
number will be enclosed in a red box with a line crossing it out.
Notes Page
Notes Page view displays the current slide content in the upper pane,
with the lower pane displaying the speaker notes that were entered for
the original PowerPoint presentation, or entered/edited in IA Presenter.
The upper pane operation is the same as in Normal view. The lower pane
is both a Notes display window and an editing window. After editing a
Note, tap OK in the upper right corner to save it.
When in Notes Page view mode, you can project the currently-selected
slide to VGA output by activating the VGA Slide Toggle command on the
View Menu, or by tapping the VGA Slide Output Toggle icon at the
rightmost side of the Toolbar. To end the projection and return to viewing
the slide only on your mobile device screen, just select the command
again to toggle it off.
Quick Notes
The Quick Notes command on the View Menu (and the Quick Notes View
icon on the Toolbar) gives you a view mode that combines the thumbnail
images of Slide Sorter view with the Notes pane of the Notes Page view.
When you tap on a thumbnail, a border around it indicates it is selected.
You can also use the Up, Down, Left, or Right buttons on your mobile
device to move the selection focus (or the Slide Title Bar, if you chose to
display it).

The lower pane displays the Speaker Notes that were entered for the
original PowerPoint presentation, or entered/edited in IA Presenter. The
lower pane is both a Notes display window and an editing window. Tap in
the lower pane to start editing a Speaker Note. The editing functionality is
the same as for Notes Page view.
If the Cut/Copy/Paste/Clear/Undo/Select All commands are required
for editing the text, press your stylus within the Notes pane to activate the
pop-up editing menu. The Notes-editing operation can be undone by
selecting the multiple-steps Undo command on the Edit Menu, pop-up
menu, or Toolbar.
Slide Show
The Slide Show command on the View Menu starts a full screen Slide
Show on the Pocket PC’s LCD screen. (If you want to project the slide
show to VGA output, you must use the VGA Slide Show command.)
Before selecting Slide Show or VGA Slide Show, you should select Set
Up Show... from the Tools Menu to set up the desired behavior for your
slide show.
If the Auto-Rotate option is checked in the Tools > Options > Display
tab, the slide will be automatically rotated according to the direction you
choose (Left or Right).
Depending on the slide advancement setting specified in the Slide
Transition dialog box, you can tap to advance the slide (or the next
animated object); use the navigation (arrows) buttons of your Pocket PC
to advance/ back play the slides; or, IA Presenter will automatically
advance slides based on the number of seconds (delaytime) you set.
Sound effects will also be played according to your assignment.
Pop-Up Menu for Slide Show Mode
If the Show Popup-Menu Button option is checked in the Tools >
Options > Display tab, a small transparent icon will be shown in the
upper left corner of the LCD screen. Tapping on the small icon will
activate the Slide Show mode’s pop-up control menu. If this option isn’t
checked, you can always tap-and-hold your stylus during Slide Show
mode to activate the pop-up menu. The commands on the menu are
explained below.
Next / Previous
Displays the next or previous slide, or next or previous animated object (if
the animated object display was designed). Hidden slides won’t be
shown.
Go
The Go submenu allows you to jump to the First Slide, Last Slide,
Previously Viewed Slide, or jump to any slide using Navigate by Title.

Trigger
If the Trigger mode is selected, the slide show will advance according to
the mode you set using the Tools > Set Up Show... command or Set Up
Show icon. For example, if you have specified to advance the slides
manually, they will advance each time you tap on the screen. If the slide
show is set to play automatically, you can use the pop-up menu to put it
on pause or end it immediately. IA Presenter is set to Trigger mode by
default.
Pen
Select the Pen command to enter Ink annotation mode. During the Ink
annotation mode, you can use the stylus to mark or highlight the
presentation elements on the screen. To exit the Ink annotation mode,
select the Trigger, VGA Pointer, or VGA Zoom mode from the pop-up
menu.
Use the Pen Color submenu to choose the Ink color, and use the Pen
Width submenu to choose a thickness.
If Pen mode is active when you select Blank from the Screen submenu,
you will be able to draw or write Ink annotation on the projected black
screen. (The Screen submenu also lets you undo the most recent Ink
stroke, or erase all of the Ink strokes.)
VGA Pointer
This mode works only when IA Presenter is in VGA Slide Show view. After
you select the VGA Pointer command, your stylus movements on the
LCD screen will simulate a laser pen light on the VGA screen during
presentations. (To exit the VGA Pointer mode, select Trigger, Pen, or
VGA Zoom from the pop-up menu.)
VGA Zoom
This mode works only when IA Presenter is in VGA Slide Show view. After
you select the VGA Zoom mode, you will be able to specify a portion of
the screen which will be projected to the VGA screen, and also a zoom
ratio for that specific area. (To exit VGA Zoom mode, select Trigger, Pen,
or VGA Pointer from the pop-up menu.)
The message that appears on your screen when you invoke VGA Zoom
mode depends on the value that is currently selected on the VGA Zoom
Size submenu. The message will either tell you to tap-and-drag your
stylus to define an area yourself, or it will tell you to simply tap your stylus
to create a zoom area of pre-defined size. You can specify the zoom ratio
using the VGA Zoom Ratio submenu, accessed from the Slide Show
pop-up menu.
Pen Color
Tapping Pen Color opens a submenu of available colors to use for your
Ink annotation when in Pen mode. Select one of the available colors as
the new pen color. The Reset command resets the pen color to the
default White color.

Pen Width
Tapping Pen Width opens a submenu of available pen widths to use for
your Ink annotation when in Pen mode. Select a thickness settings as the
new pen width to be used for Ink strokes on the LCD screen (and
projection to VGA output, if desired). The 1 Unit option is the thinnest
setting. Higher values give you thicker widths.
VGA Zoom Size
The VGA Zoom Size command opens a submenu of “zoom area”
options. When you invoke VGA Zoom mode by selecting it on the pop-up
menu, the current setting on the VGA Zoom Size submenu will be
activated.
The Quarter, Large, Medium, Small, and Tiny settings on the submenu
represent pre-defined areas. For example, if Quarter is selected, tapping
on your LCD screen will automatically produce a rectangular area which
is the size of one-quarter of your LCD screen (centered around the spot
where you tapped).
The “zoom area” will be displayed on top of the already-existing
projection of the entire slide on the VGA screen.
After the rectangular zoom area exists on your screen, you can drag it to
any part of the screen you wish. It can also be converted to any of the
other pre-defined sizes by pressing your stylus on the LCD screen to
open the pop-up menu again, then selecting a different value from the
VGA Zoom Size submenu. The size of the existing area will then be
changed accordingly.
If you select Drag Select on the submenu, you will be able to drag your
stylus on the LCD screen and freely define any area for zooming. After the
desired area has been specified, you can drag it to any portion of the
screen. You can also resize it by dragging any of its corners. To specify
the zoom ratio for the projected zoom area, use the VGA Zoom Ratio
command.
VGA Zoom Ratio
The VGA Zoom Ratio command opens a submenu of pre-defined “zoom
ratio” options. When you invoke VGA Zoom mode by selecting it on the
pop-up menu, the current setting on the VGA Zoom Ratio submenu will
be activated.
Screen
The Screen submenu contains commands that allow you to pause a Slide
Show (Pause Auto Play), project a blank screen (Blank), undo the most
recent Ink stroke (Clear Last Pen), or erase all Ink strokes (Clear All Pen).
Pause Auto Play
If you have specified that you want slides to advance automatically after a
specified number of seconds (using the Set Up Show... command on the
Tools Menu or the Set Up Show icon on the Toolbar), you can select
Pause Auto Play during the playing of a slide show to pause the show.
When ready to continue the automatic progress of a slide show, tap
Resume Auto Play.

Blank
When you select Blank, your LCD screen will become completely black,
and the black screen will also be projected to your VGA screen. (After you
have selected Blank, the command name changes to Restore. Tap
Restore when you are ready to return to the slide that was previously
displayed.)
Using the Blank Option with Pen Mode:
When the Blank option is active and IA Presenter is in Pen mode, you can
write or draw digital Ink on the screen, and it will be output to the VGA
device. In effect, this allows you to project an “electronic blackboard”
which you might find useful when giving a presentation to an audience.
Be aware that any Ink strokes you draw on the Blank screen will be lost
when you exit Blank mode. They cannot be retained.
When IA Presenter is in VGA Zoom mode or VGA Pointer mode, the
Blank option is not available.
Clear Last Pen
Erases the last individual Ink stroke. This command can be applied
repeatedly until there are no more Ink strokes in the current slide.
Clear All Pen
Erases all the pen strokes on the current slide.
Speaker Notes
This command displays the current slide’s Note text (if any) in a pop-up
window, with the slide number also shown, on top of the displayed slide.
To advance the slide or object when the Speaker Notes window is shown,
tap on the underlying slide. When you advance the slides, the Speaker
Notes window remains open and interactively displays the Note text of
the related slide. To close the Speaker Notes window, tap the “X” in the
upper right corner.
End Show
This command terminates the Slide Show playback mode and returns to
the mode you were using prior to entering Slide Show mode. The Action
button on your Pocket PC can also be used to exit Slide Show mode.

ATI Presentation Pack
VGA Slide Show
VGA Slide Show mode operates almost identically to the Slide Show
mode, except for the following operational differences:
■ You should use the VGA Output tab in the Tools > Options...
command to set VGA output-related options. You can also elect to
have IA Presenter perform dithering for your slide if you project your
slide to an external VGA/video device with less color capability (such
as only 256 colors available).
■ During VGA Slide Show mode, the presentation output will be directed
to both the Pocket PC’s LCD screen and the external connected VGA
device or video device. The Pocket PC will always show the reduced
size version, while the VGA/video device will view the original
matching dimensions set during ActiveSync conversion. Or if your
current presentation has a dimension specified which is different from
the exact dimension of your selected output dimension, IA Presenter
will automatically re- size the slides to fit the output dimensions.
■ The Ink annotation will be projected to both the VGA video device and
the LCD screen.
■ You can use VGA Zoom on the pop-up menu to designate an area on
a slide during VGA Slide Show view, and project that specific area to
the VGA screen (on top of the already-existing projection of the entire
slide). Use the VGA Zoom Size command to specify an area of
predefined size, or manually drag your stylus on the LCD screen to
specify the desired area of the slide. Then use the VGA Zoom Ratio
command to choose the ratio at which you want the zoomed area to
be projected. After the “zoom window” has been created, it can be
dragged to enclose other portions of the slide on your LCD screen,
and this movement will also be reflected in the projected image on the
VGA output.
■ You can use the VGA Pointer command on the pop-up menu to
enable movements of your stylus on the LCD screen to simulate a
laser pen light on the VGA screen during VGA Slide Show
presentations.
■ In addition to being able to draw digital Ink annotation on your slides,
you can project a black screen to the VGA output and write or draw
projected Ink on it. To use Ink on the blank screen, make sure you are
in Pen mode on the Slide Show pop-up menu before selecting Blank
from the Screen submenu.
In addition, before a VGA Slide Show can be projected to a VGA screen,
you must specify the appropriate settings. Select Options... from the
Tools Menu, then tap VGA Output.

are included in the on-line Help.

Controlling Transition Effects
Any transition effects that were assigned in your original PowerPoint file
will be retained when the IA Presenter Converter converts it to an .iap file
on your Pocket PC.
However, IA Presenter also furnishes many attractive transition effects
that can be assigned to the .iap file. You can assign a particular transition
effect to an individual selected slide, or to all slides in the current file.
After you select one or more slides, tap Slide Transition... on the Edit
Menu or the
icon on the Toolbar.
The Slide Transition screen will appear. In it, you can select a transition
effect, a speed for the transition effect, method of slide advancement
during a slide show, and associate a sound (.wav file) to a slide.
Merging Presentations
You can merge the slides of two different presentations into one file. The
new inserted slides will adopt the Master Slide style of the current file.
Therefore, you should first open the presentation whose Master Slide
style you want to adopt to.
The next thing you should do is select Options... from the Tools Menu
and open the File tab. Tap OK to close the tab and save the settings.
If you selected To Current Selection in the File tab as the insertion
position, use your stylus to tap the desired insertion point in the current
file (in Slide Sorter view). Or, select the slide after which you want the
imported slides to be inserted.
Select the Insert Slides From Files... command from the Tools Menu. A
listing of files will appear. Tap the name of the file whose slides you want
to merge with the current file, and it will be done immediately. This
command can be undone or redone (Edit Menu). You can also use Save
Presentation As... (Tools Menu) if you wish to save a backup copy before

WLAN Adaptor’s to enable the wireless communication?
This is not necessary. IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor is Wi-Fi certified
which means that it will work well with different branded equipment as
long as the equipment is also Wi-Fi certified.
A2: Can I connect IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor to other devices using
Bluetooth?
No, you can only connect the IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor to other
IEEE802.11b equipment.
B. Wireless LAN Connectivity
B1: How do I form a wireless network?
Typically, you can form a wireless network by connecting Access Points.
Different Access Points should have different channels. Every devices
connected to the network should have the same SSID. When you are
using Access Points, set the mode to “Infrastructure” mode. Without
Access Points, you can still build a network where adaptors communicate
peer-to-peer using a shared SSID. When you are not using Access
Points, change the operating mode to be “802.11Ad Hoc”. To set the
operating mode, click Start > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Utility >
Config.

802.11 Ad Hoc Network?
802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is used to create a peer-to-peer connection without
an Access Point. The SSID must be the same among stations to enable
the wireless communication within the local area network.
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the first 802.11 Ad
Hoc station. For other stations want to join the same SSID group, you
could only choose the same SSID as the first station for connection. The
Channel setting for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network stations to join the
existing 802.11 Ad Hoc Network will automatically be set as the channel
number of the network.

B5: What is the difference between “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad
Hoc” Network Mode? How do I choose?
Infrastructure Mode is used to connect your Pocket PC with the Access
Point. Usually, to form a Wireless Network, you can connect your Access
Point to the ADSL, Cable Model or LAN Ethernet and then configure the
Access Point base on the User Guide for the Ac- cess Point to set the
proper SSID, Channel and WEP security service. After that, configure the
IEEE 802.11b WLAN adaptor. Set the same SSID, Channel and WEP as
the Access Point’s. 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode allows your Pocket PC to form
its own local network where devices communicate peer-to-peer, using a
shared SSID, without Access Points. Under 802.11 Ad Hoc mode, the
SSID must be the same among stations so that the devices can
communicate properly within the Wireless Network. If you want to form
your network without any Access Points, you should choose 802.11 Ad
Hoc mode.
B6: Could I use the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode to access the LAN
resources? How can I access the LAN resource without an Access
Point?
Yes , you can access the LAN resources without an Access Point . Follow
the steps shown below:

FAQ about Wireless LAN
C2: How do I wirelessly browse the Internet?
1
If your network uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), an
IP address and DNS (or WINS) will be assigned automatically. On your
Pocket PC, simply click Start > Setting > Connections > Network
Adaptors > IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor > Properties to set the proper
setting for Internet connection.
2
If your network does not use DHCP, you should enter the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway and DNS (or WINS).
IP Address is Internet Protocol Address; a numeric address such as
10.37.238.100 that the domain name server translates into a domain
name. Each node on the IP network should have a unique IP address.
Subnet mask is a number used to identify a subnetwork when
multiple networks share one IP address. For example
255.255.255.0Gateway is a device used to forward IP packets to and
from a remote destination.
DNS stands for Domain Name System, a database system, which
translates addresses and domain names. For example, a numeric
address like 232.245.021.54 can become something like cba.com.
WINS stands for Windows Internet Naming Service which has two
functions; one is a Microsoft Net BIO name server that eliminates the
broadcasts needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by
providing a cache or database of translations. The other one is to set
the IP address of the host computer that you already construct the
partnership for Network adaptor Active sync purpose.
To set IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway, click Start > Settings >
Connections > Network Adaptors > IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor >
Properties > IP Address. To set DNS or WINS (Windows Internet
Naming Service), click Start > Settings > Connections > Network
Adaptors > IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor > Properties > Name
Servers.
3
To ping your Pocket PC from your host computer. In the Host
Computer, open the DOS command mode window, type the
command “Ping” followed by the IP address, such as “Ping
140.124.40.112”. If you can see the reply from this IP address, the
connection is complete. You are now ready to browse the Internet
using Internet Explorer on your Pocket PC.
C3: How do I wirelessly check my e-mail?
1
Please make sure that you can use the ActiveSync function through
USB Interface at first, and make sure you can use the ActiveSync to
receive and send e-mail successfully. For corporate e-mail received
and sent, please check with your network administrator for necessary
connection settings.

FAQ about Wireless LAN
D. Settings
D1: What is SSID? What should I set in the SSID field?
SSID stands for Service Set Identification, which is the ID to form the
Wireless Network. You can set up to 32 characters in the SSID field. For
the Infrastructure Mode, you should set the SSID the same as the Access
Point been connected with. To create a 802.11 Ad Hoc Network, the SSID
must be the same among stations to enable the wireless communication
within the local area network.
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the first 802.11 Ad
Hoc station. For other stations want to join the same SSID group, you
could only choose the same SSID as the first station, but the channel will
not take effect. The 802.11 Ad Hoc must enter the proper SSID. Blank
SSID for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode is not allowed. The stations want to
join the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network must have the same SSID and are
suggested to have the same IP Address in the Network group.
D2: Why can’t I choose the “Channel” and “Country” field in “Infra-
structure” Mode?
For the Infrastructure Mode, the Country and Channel are decided by the
Access Point. You can only join the existing Access Point formed
Wireless Network but not create a new Wireless Network. That is the
reason why you can’t set the “Channel” and “Country” settings.
D3: When should I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default
gateway settings?
When the Wireless Network does not have the DHCP server, you should
set your own IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway for Wireless
Network connection. Otherwise, the OS might set the different Network
group IP address for you, which will cause the disconnection for the
Wireless Network.
D4: How can I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway
settings?
Simply click Start > Settings > Connections > Network adaptor >
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor > Properties > IP Address to set IP address,
Subnet mask and Default gateway settings.
D5: What Transmit Rate should I choose for Wireless Connection?
Suggest you to use the “Fully Auto” option in the “Transmission Rate”
field for full Transmission Data Rate range to automatically adjust the Best
Communication Data Rate and to be compatible with other Low speed
802.11 Wireless Device.

F. Performance
F1: Will IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor work in the environment where
Bluetooth network is employed?
Yes, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor can coexist with Bluetooth
environment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor?
It depends on the data transmission rate and the condition of the
environments. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it could
cover. At 11 Mbps, the adaptor can go up to 300 meter in an outdoor
environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only go up to 100
meter. Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior walls and
reflected signals, indoor range is usually shorter than outdoor range.
