Work environment
▲ CAUTION
Your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 has been designed to be compact, light-weight and extremely portable, (and they include a self-contained battery pack), so that they can be easily carried and used almost anywhere.
Proper use of your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 does not pose any health hazards. When used in accordance with the safety instructions that follow, they also offer an alternative to Pocket PC users who wish to avoid exposure to the additional sources of electromagnetic field (EMF) emission that may be present in Pocket PCs.
Ideally, your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 should always be used at a well-designed work station so that your arms, shoulders, and hands are in natural and comfortable positions. This will minimize physical discomfort to the back, neck, wrists, and other parts of the body. During normal use, your forearms should be parallel to the floor, your wrists should be arched comfortably upward (i.e., so that your hands are above your forearms); your fingers should be gently curved downward, and your upper arms should be hanging freely at your side. This will avoid physical discomfort.
Furthermore, you should ideally always be seated in front of your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 in a comfortable chair that provides firm support for your back, permitting your feet to be flat on the floor, your knees to be bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more, and your thighs to be at an angle of 90 degrees or greater in relation to your torso. Since Toshiba Pocket PCs are specifically intended to be used in the field, it is foreseeable that they will not always be used at carefully designed and well illuminated work stations. Instead, they may often be used where lighting conditions are poor, where viewing distances and angles are inconvenient, where they will be subject to vibration or vehicle motion, where available seating conditions may require awkward arm and wrist positions, and where adequate neck and back support cannot be provided.
Furthermore, since the LCD is not detachable from the keyboard, conditions of use in the field may sometimes cause the LCD to be too low for comfort (or the keyboard to be too high for comfort). As a result, opportunities may often exist for the misuse of your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 under adverse conditions, which could result in eyestrain and in physical discomfort to various parts of the body.
The following safety instructions should always be followed to avoid the adverse consequences that could otherwise result from the misuse of your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 under sub optimum field conditions.
Prevention of eyestrain
Viewing angle and viewing distance of LCD
When using Pocket PCs, the operator is linked to the equipment through the eyes as well as through the hands. Viewing angle and viewing distance are two of the controllable factors which significantly affect the ability of the eyes to focus easily on the LCD.
Viewing distances of less than 16 inches can cause eyestrain and headaches, both in persons with normal vision and in persons who must wear corrective glasses or contact lenses. Consequently, viewing distances of at least 16 inches must be maintained. Closer viewing distances will create stress both on the binocular (eye aiming) system and on the accommodating (eye-focusing) system.
Most persons also find it to be more restful on the eyes if the top line of the LCD is located 20 degrees or more below eye-level, rather than straight ahead or upward. In general, the closer the location of the LCD, the lower it should be placed.
▲WARNING
Always locate the LCD directly in front of you, at a comfortable viewing distance, always greater than 16 inches both for persons with normal eyesight as well as for those who wear corrective glasses or contact lenses.
Always ensure that the top line of the LCD is located at least 20 degrees below eye-level.
Always tilt the top of the LCD away from you until you have located the position that affords maximum visibility.
Always adjust the brightness and contrast controls to maximize the character and image quality on the LCD.
Ambient lighting
Adequate lighting increases work effectiveness and reduces eyestrain. Sources of illumination should be selected that are located outside of the peripheral field of vision, to minimize both direct and reflected disability glare (i.e., glare that results in a reduction of the readability of the information displayed on the LCD), and discomfort glare (i.e., glare that produces visual distraction).
Ambient illumination, comprised of general lighting and local (task) lighting, must be sufficiently bright, uniform, and free from both disability and discomfort glare, or from flicker, to permit the use of your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 without any noticeable visual impairment or eyestrain.
▲WARNING
Always position your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 (in relation to the available sources of light) so that direct glare or reflected glare will be minimized at the LCD, in order to maximize visibility.
If the room in which you are working has windows, use available blinds, shades, or drapes to control the amount of direct or reflected light in the room. Always locate your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 so that the side of the unit faces the windows, in order to minimize direct, or reflected, glare on the screen.
Always position the LCD between rows of overhead lights, if possible, to avoid direct glare.
Always combine the available general and task lighting to best suit your lighting needs, but avoid placing bright light sources within your field of vision.
Always use indirect lighting where possible, in order to avoid bright spots on the LCD.
Vision care
All new users of Toshiba Pocket PCs should have vision tests performed before undertaking Pocket PC use, and all users should have vision tests performed periodically thereafter to ensure that they have adequately corrected their vision (if necessary) to satisfactorily handle such work.
An association between bifocal use and vulnerability to neck disorders is also known to exist. Bifocal use while operating your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 may result in more head movements from keyboard to screen, a backward declination of the head, and increased static loading of the neck muscles, which could cause neck discomfort. The use of bifocals reportedly may also result in awkward postural adjustments which could cause further discomfort to the body.
Consequently, all individuals who wear bifocals must have vision tests performed before beginning Pocket PC work, and must be evaluated periodically by a vision-care specialist, to determine whether their current lenses are appropriate for your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 work that they will be performing.
▲WARNING
Always have your eyes examined periodically by a vision care specialist, to maintain good vision.
Always wear corrective glasses or contact lenses, where required, to minimize eyestrain when using the CRT monitor.
If you wear bifocals, always have vision tests performed before your first use of your Toshiba Pocket PC e830, and then periodically thereafter, to protect against eyestrain and possibly physical discomfort as well.
Always keep your glasses, contact lenses, and the LCD as clean as possible.
Always take frequent rest breaks, and relax the focusing system of the eyes by looking at distant objects (objects located at a distance greater than 15 feet).
If you experience vision-related problems, including (but not limited to) eyestrain, irritation or pain, blurred or double vision, excessive tears or dry eyes or excessive blinking or squinting, always consult a vision-care specialist to protect your eyesight.
Prevention of physical discomfort
When Toshiba Pocket PCs are to be used under the less-than ideal conditions that may sometimes be encountered in the field, prudent precautions must be taken to prevent physical discomfort to the body or to the hands, wrists and arms. Physical discomfort can be avoided by taking frequent rest breaks and by periodically initiating changes in activity, environment or work-tempo.
Prevention of physical discomfort to the body
To prevent physical discomfort to the back, neck, shoulders and other parts of the body, even while using your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 under sub optimum field conditions, the following work practices should always be observed:
▲WARNING
Always avoid sitting in one position for long periods of time, by periodically performing alternate tasks or by periodically moving to a different environment.
In order to avoid exposing the body to physical discomfort, always initiate periodic changes in work-tempo and take periodic breaks when working with your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 over an extended period of time.
Always avoid any awkward working positions that could cause discomfort or stress to the back, neck, or shoulders.
Always take time to stretch and exercise your body periodically, throughout the workday, to avoid experiencing muscular and skeletal aches and pains.
Prevention of physical discomfort to the hands, wrists, and arms
To prevent physical discomfort to the hands, wrists, and arms, even while using your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 under sub optimum field conditions, the following work practices must always be observed:
WARNING
Always avoid performing repetitive tasks with your hands for long periods of time, either by taking periodic breaks or by periodically engaging in other activities.
Always avoid working in uncomfortable positions that result in discomfort or stress to either the hands, wrists, or arms.
Avoidance of exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions
Extremely low frequency (ELF) emissions (50Hz (Europe) or 60Hz (US))
▲ CAUTION
Since most Toshiba Pocket PCs are low-voltage direct current (DC) devices, your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 emits no EMF (Electro-Magnetic Field) energy in the ELF range when it is being powered by its main battery pack.
Your Toshiba Pocket PC e830, however, can also be powered by an alternating current (AC) Adapter, which converts a 60 Hz AC power source to DC.
When your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 is being powered by an AC Adapter, the AC Adapter and its associated AC power cord may themselves emit low levels of ELF energy. The intensity levels of those ELF emissions, however, even in close proximity to the AC Adapter and its associated AC power cord, is relatively low in comparison to those of other common household appliances.
The minute levels of EMF energy in the ELF range that are emitted by the AC Adapter and its AC power cord pose no known health hazards to human beings.
Very low frequency (VLF) emissions (30,000Hz to 66,000Hz)
▲ CAUTION
Since the LCD used in your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 for the presentation of visual information is a flat-panel, reflective device which requires no sweep-frequency, your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 emits no EMF emissions in the VLF range.
A cathode ray tube, on the other hand, is an emissive device that does require the presence of a sweep-frequency in the 15,000 to 20,000 Hz (VLF) range in order to perform its function.
Consequently, only desk-top computers which use cathode ray tube monitors for the presentation of visual information are emitters of EMF emissions in the VLF range.
Radio frequency (RF) emissions
▲ CAUTION
All personal Pocket PCs generate digital timing pulses at frequencies within the RF range, and consequently may emit minute levels of stray EMF emissions in the RF range.
As a result, all Pocket PCs have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and also to comply with Canadian ICES-003 regulations as being “Class B” digital devices. (“Class B” digital devices are authorized for use in residential environments and are not permitted to intentionally emit RF energy. Nevertheless, they are permitted to unintentionally emit low levels of RF energy, as a result of the generation of digital timing pulses by their clock oscillator circuits.)
The allowable levels of RF energy that may be emitted by Toshiba Pocket PCs are severely limited in their intensity by existing FCC Regulations (47 CFR Section 15.109(a)) and ICES-003 to prevent interference with reception on nearby radio and TV receivers.
Toshiba Pocket PCs have therefore been equipped with internal shielding to significantly reduce the stray emission of RF energy.
Nevertheless, airlines may prohibit the use of Toshiba Pocket PCs (as well as other portable electronic devices that could emit stray RF energy) during take-offs and landings, because of possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigation devices.
For instance, because FCC and ICES regulations for "Class B" digital devices severely limit the levels of RF energy that may be emitted by a Toshiba Pocket PC, the resulting emissions also fall well within the allowable limits that have been adopted by OSHA in 29 CFR § 1910.97, and
that have been adopted by the promulgators of all other known regulations and standards that relate to the emission of EMF energy in the RF range.
Consequently, the minute levels of EMF energy in the RF range that are emitted by Toshiba Pocket PCs comply with all existing regulations and standards, and pose no known health hazards to human beings.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.
Converting writing to text
Tap Tools and then Recognize.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized by the program, it remains as a handwritten word.
If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use or the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.
Tips for getting good recognition:
- Write neatly.
- Write on the lines and draw descendants below the line. Write the cross of the "t" and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not 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 your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 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 is not included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Drawing on the screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
Creating a drawing
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke.
A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines are treated as writing.
NOTE
You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then a zoom level.
Selecting a drawing
To edit or format a drawing, you must first select it by tapping and holding the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.
You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, then drag a selection handle.
Recording a message
In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone recording or add a recording to an existing note. If you want to add a recording in a note, open the note first. In the Messaging program, you can add a recording to an email message.

- To reply to or forward the selected email, tap the Reply icon on the command bar.
- Tap the OK to return to the message list.
NOTE
To delete a message, tap the Delete E-mail icon on the command bar.
Composing messages
- In the message list, tap New.
- In the To field, enter the email address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon or select a name from the contact list by tapping Address Book. All email addresses entered in the email fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book.
- Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message.
- Tap Send when you've finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and is sent the next time you connect. If you are working online, it is sent immediately.
Managing email messages and folders
Each email account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Messaging 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 on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4.
- If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook is automatically synchronized with your Toshiba Pocket PC e830. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then 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 PC.
- If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server notes that the messages are missing from your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it
also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except your Toshiba Pocket PC e830.
- If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email 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 Toshiba Pocket PC e830 or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

- Tap and hold the command run program xxx, then select Edit.
- Select the application you want to assign by tapping the Browse.
- Tap OK.
NOTE
There may be times when Voice Command does not capture the spoken word accurately or does not recognize the word at all. This can happen for a number of reasons, for instance, the words may be spoken too quickly or the background environment may be noisy.
If this happens, try the following:
- speak more slowly
- speak as clearly as possible
- move to a quiet environment and try again

FAQ for Wi-Fi
A. Compatibility
A1: Should I use equipment with the same brand as the IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter's to enable the wireless communication?
This is not necessary. The IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter is Wi-Fi certified; it works well with differing brands of equipment as long as the equipment is also Wi-Fi certified.
A2: Can I connect IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to other devices using Bluetooth?
No, you can only connect the IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter 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 adapters 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, tap Start, Settings, System, then Wireless Networks.
B2: How can I connect my Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to the usable Wireless Network?
Tap Start, Settings, System, then Wireless Networks. Tap and hold the Wireless Network you desire, then tap Connect from the pop-up menu.

C. Application
C1: What should I do to use the ActiveSync Function through Wireless Network?
(1) Make sure you have already setup the partnership between your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 and your host PC through USB Interface and the ActiveSync can work properly. (The ActiveSync connection Interface should also choose the Ethernet interface for Wireless LAN ActiveSync Connection)
(2) Make sure you are within the range of a functioning Wireless Network.
(3) Make sure you can "ping" your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 from your host PC. (Make sure the SSID, WEP keys and channel for all devices in the network are set the same.)
(4) Make sure you have entered the IP address of the host PC as the WINS server on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830.
(5) Reset your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to make the TCP/IP settings take effect and execute the ActiveSync function on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830.
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) is assigned automatically. On your Toshiba Pocket PC e830, simply tap Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters, then IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to configure the proper setting for your 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 255.255.255.0 Gateway is a device used to forward IP packets to and from a remote destination.
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.
WINS (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 function is to set the host PC IP address of the previously constructed Network adapter Active Sync partnership.
To set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway, tap Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, then IP Address. To set the DNS or WINS, tap Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, then Name Servers.
(3) To ping your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 from your host PC. In the host PC, 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 on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 using Internet Explorer.
C3: How do I check my email on my wireless Toshiba Pocket PC e830?
(1) Make sure that you can use the ActiveSync function through USB interface, then make sure you can use the ActiveSync to receive and send email. For corporate email, please check with your network administrator for necessary connection settings.
(2) Make sure you have entered the host PC IP address as the WINS server on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830.
(3) Reset your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to make the TCP/IP settings take effect and execute the ActiveSync function on your Toshiba Pocket PC e830.
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 an 802.11 Ad Hoc Network, the SSID must be the same among stations to enable the wireless communication within the local area network.
NOTE
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 does 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 am I unable to choose the “Channel” field in “Infrastructure” Mode?
For the Infrastructure Mode, the Channel is decided by the Access Point. You cannot create a new Wireless Network; only join the existing Access Point formed Wireless Network.
D3: When should I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway settings?
When the Wireless Network does not have a DHCP server, you should set your own IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway for your Wireless Network connection. Otherwise, the OS might set a different Network group IP address for you and disconnect you from the Wireless Network.
D4: How can I set the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway settings?
Tap Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, Network Adapters, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter, then IP Address to set the 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?
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security service, used to prevent 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 Network. The first is "Disable" which disables the WEP security service; the second is "64bit" which supports 5 bytes Hexadecimal value WEP security service; the third is "128bit" which supports 13 bytes Hexadecimal value WEP security service.
E3: How do I set the WEP security service?
Tap Start, Settings, System, then Wireless Networks. Tap the network to which you want to connect, then the Network Key tab to set the WEP security service.
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 environment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter?
Working range depends on the data transmission rate and environmental conditions. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it can cover. At 11 Mbps, the adapter can cover up to 300 meter in an outdoor environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only cover up to 100 meter. Due to ceiling, higher RF, interior wall, and reflected signal interference, indoor range is usually shorter than outdoor range.
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 a slower data rate ensures reliable data delivery. If you do not know which data rate should be used, select "Fully Auto", and the data rate automatically steps down from either 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps as you move your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 further away from the Access Point or other connected mobile device.
F4: The Wireless LAN consumes too much power. What should I do to save power?
(1) Turn off the Wireless LAN Switch if you are not using the Wireless Network currently, or
(2) Tap Turn radio off on the TMU icon.
(3) Tap Start, Settings, System, then Wireless LAN Manager. On the Power tab, set each power saving mode, then tap Apply.
NOTE
(1) Turning off the Wireless Communication Switch will cause the disconnection of the Wireless Network, please make sure to close all the Wireless Connection before you execute this function.
(2) The Turn Off function on the TMU icon causes the disconnection of the Wireless Network, please make sure to close all the Wireless Connection before you execute this function.
(3) Enable “Power Saving Mode” keeps the connectivity but lowers the average throughput due to longer connection period for the Wireless Network.
(4) If you are in 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode, you are not allowed to enable “802.11 Power Saving Mode”, because Ad Hoc Mode doesn’t support this function.
F5: How do I make sure that the Wireless LAN software has been installed successfully and that Wireless LAN already work properly?
(1) Please check if the "IEEE 802.11b WLAN Adapter" already exist in Start, Settings, Connections, Network Cards, then Network Adapters tab; if not, the Wireless LAN Driver is not Installed successfully.
(2) Please check if the Wireless LAN Utility already exist and could be opened successfully by simply tapping Start, Settings, System, then Wireless Networks.
(3) Tap Start, Settings, System, Wireless LAN Manager, then Link to check the current Link information.
