There are two categories of Safety Instructions included in this manual:
Product Warnings, (i.e., what must never be done to assure avoiding
those hazards that could cause bodily injury or property damage); and
User Directions (i.e., what must always be done to assure the safe use of
your Pocket PC).
The Safety Instructions contained in this manual have been categorized
in accordance with the seriousness of the potential hazards through the
use of Signal Words.
Those Signal Words, and their intended meanings, are as follows:
Signal Word Meaning
DANGER Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety
Instructions could result in serious bodily in-
jury.
CAUTION Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety
Instructions could result in minor bodily injury
or property damage.
WARNING Designates important information that relates
to the safe use of your Pocket PC.
Your Pocket PC produces low levels of RF energy due to the generation of
digital timing pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your Pocket PC has
been equipped with internal shielding to minimize any stray emissions of
RF energy.
Airlines may nevertheless prohibit the on-board use of all portable PCs
(and all other portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray
RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any pos-
sible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navi-
gational devices.

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 desktop computer with the information on your device. Synchroniza-
tion 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 desktop 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 desk-
top computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your desktop 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 con-
nect your Pocket PC to your PC, set up a partnership so you can synchro-
nize information between your device and your desktop computer, and
67
Chapter 3: Microsoft ActiveSync
customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization pro-
cess will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and
Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information you’ve stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you
didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your PC and
you’re ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your device. To switch to
ActiveSync on your device, tap , and then tap ActiveSync.
For information about using ActiveSync on your PC, start ActiveSync on
your PC, and then see ActiveSync Help.
For more information about ActiveSync on your device, switch to ActiveSync,

Microsoft® Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and
Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example,
e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail
messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync® you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop 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 desktop computer or server and updates
both computers with the latest information. For information on using
ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the menu.

zation process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help
on the PC.
During synchronization:
• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook
on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your
device. By default, you will receive messages from the past three
days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments
of less than 100 KB in size.

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 desktop 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 dupli-
cate 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 avail-
able to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from
your device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders oc-
curs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or
rename/delete folders when connected.

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 Presenter
Getting Started
After you invoke IA Presenter, the screen lists all the converted PowerPoint
presentations currently in your \My Documents folder. A sample presenta-
tion 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.
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 us-
ing IA Presneter’s Desktop Converter.
161
Chapter 10: Optional Functions
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 di-
mension 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 dimen-
sion 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:
¾Pocket 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, en-
ter 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:
¾VGA – 640 x 480
¾SVGA – 800 x 600
¾User-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 x768 is not supported.

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 auto-
matically 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.
163
Chapter 10: Optional Functions
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 Out-
put “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.
• 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 asso-
ciated 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 Automati-
cally 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.
164
Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 User’s Guide
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.
165
Chapter 10: Optional Functions
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.) Be-
fore 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 Tran-
sition 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 ToolsJOptions
JDisplay 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,Previ-
ously 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 ToolsJSet Up Show... command or Set Up
Show icon. For example, if you have specified to advance the slides manu-
ally, 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.

Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 User’s Guide
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 presen-
tation 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 de-
fault White color.
167
Chapter 10: Optional Functions
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 projec-
tion 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” op-
tions. 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 acti-
vated.
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 accord-
ingly.
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 com-
mand.
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).
168
Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 User’s Guide
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 Re-
sume 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 Re-
store when you are ready to return to the slide that was previously dis-
played.)
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 re-
peatedly 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.
169
Chapter 10: Optional Functions
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.
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 ToolsJOptions... com-
mand 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 di-
rected to both the Pocket PC’s LCD screen and the external con-
nected 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 dur-
ing ActiveSync conversion. Or if your current presentation has a di-
mension 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 pre-
defined size, or manually drag your stylus on the LCD screen to specify
the desired area of the slide. Then use the VGA Zoom Ratio com-
mand 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 en-
able 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.
170
Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 User’s Guide
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.
More information about the General,File,Display, and VGA Output tabs
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 posi-
tion, 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 com-
mand 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
you start the merge operation, if desired.

rity service. After that, configure the IEEE 802.11b WLAN adapter. Set
the same SSID, Channel and WEP as the Access Point’s. 802.11 Ad
Hoc Mode allows your Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 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 .

connection.
(2) If your network does not use DHCP, you should enter the IP ad-
dress, 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 nu-
meric 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 elimi-
nates 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 adapter Active sync
purpose.

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 Net-
work, 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 Net-
work 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 gate-
way settings?
When the Wireless Network does not have the DHCP server, you
should set your own IP address, Submask and Default gateway for
Wireless Network connection. Otherwise, the OS might set the differ-
ent Network group IP address for you, which will cause the discon-
nection for the Wireless Network.
D4: How can I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway
settings?
Simply click StartJSettingsJConnectionsJNetwork
adapterJIEEE802.11b WLAN AdapterJPropertiesJIP 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.

E. Security
E1: What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security service, used to
prevent the unauthorized access to your wireless network.
E2: How many WEP security service modes does my Wireless LAN
support?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy that is the security service
for the Wireless Network. There are three WEP security service modes
available for “IEEE 802.11b WLAN Adapter” formed Wireless Net-
work. The first is “Disable” which will disable the WEP security ser-
vice; the second is “64bit” which will support 5 bytes Hexadecimal
value WEP security service; the third is “128bit” which will support 13
bytes Hexadecimal value WEP security service.
E3: How do I set the WEP security service?
Please click Start?Settings?System?Wireless LAN Utility?Advanced
to view Advanced page where you can set the WEP security service.
Please choose the proper WEP Key Mode, WEP KeyID and WEP Key
value for the Wireless Network.

the same as your Wireless Network’s to enable the connection.
Example of setting the WEP:
You can choose
1. WEP Mode “64bit”, KeyID “1” and Key “1234567890”, or
2. WEP Mode “128bit”, KeyID “1” and Key
“12345678901234567890123456”, or
3. WEP Mode “Disable” for connection
F. Performance
F1: Will IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter work in the environment where
Bluetooth network is employed?
Yes, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter can coexist with Bluetooth environ-
ment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter?
It depends on the data transmission rate and the condition of the envi-
ronments. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it could cover.
At 11 Mbps, the adapter can go up to 300 meter in an outdoor environ-
ment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only go up to 100 meter.
Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior walls and re-
flected signals, indoor range is usually shorter than outdoor range.
186
Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 User’s Guide
F3: How does the data transmission rate work?
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter allows you to choose one of the six data
rate options: Fixed 1Mbps, Fixed 2Mbps, Fixed 5.5Mbps, Fixed 11
Mbps, Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, and Fully Auto.
The farther the distance between two communicating devices, the
slower the data rate should be used. Basically, with slower data rate,
the data delivery will be more reliable. If you don’t know which data
rate should be used, simply choose “Fully Auto”, and the data rate will
automatically step down from 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps
if you move farther your Toshiba Pocket PC e750/e755 away from the
Access Point or other connected mobile device.
F4: The Wireless LAN uses lots of power. What should I do to save
