A7. Is it possible to capture still images using the FlyJacket i3800?
Yes, capturing still images is possible using either the bundled IA Image Capture or the FlyViewMax application (click here for free download). The IA Image Capture application allows the image to be captured in a choice of 3 file formats -JPEG, BMP and GIF.

A8. Is it possible to record full motion video using the FlyJacket i3800?
Our R&D team is currently testing an application that will permit full motion video recording. The expected release date is early to mid-March 2002.

A9. Can I access data stored on a CompactFlash card while using the FlyJacket i3800?
Certainly. The FlyJacket i3800 is equipped with a fully compliant CompactFlash slot (Type I /II) that is specifically designed to handle this functionality. That means that you have total access to data stored on any CF Type I or Type II card including presentation files, image files simply by inserting the card into the FlyJacket i3800CF slot.

A10. Does the FlyJacket i3800 require connection to a power adapter during operation?
No, the FlyJacket i3800 does not require connection to a power adapter during operation. When the FlyJacket i3800's internal battery power is drained, charging via the iPAQ power adapter is required.

11. Will the FlyJacket i3800 drain power from the iPAQ main battery?
Never. The FlyJacket i3800 receives its power solely from its internal battery and not from the iPAQ. The FlyJacket i3800's design prevents it from feeding off the iPAQ main battery - even when near empty.

A12. Is it possible to connect my camcorder and output video to my TV simultaneously using the FlyJacket i3800?
No. The FlyJacket i3800 can only perform video input OR video output tasks, but not both simultaneously.

A13. How long can I expect the FlyJacket i3800 battery to last on a full charge?
A reasonable range is between 1.5 to 2 hours providing no power consuming device such as a Microdrive is connected in addition to the display device.

A14. Is it possible to use presentation or image viewing applications other than those included in the IA PowerMedia Suite?
At this time, the FlyJacket i3800 supports video output and video input functionality using the IA PowerMedia Suite only. Additional software applications will be supported in the coming months.

A15. Can I preview video full-screen on my iPAQ?
Yes. To preview video full-screen, simply run the FlyViewMax application (free download) and have a video input device such as a camcorder or VCR connected to your FlyJacket i3800.

A16. Is there a presentation tool included in the FlyJacket i3800 package?
Yes. The FlyJacket i3800 package includes a pen-sized remote control / laser pointer. One end of the pen functions as a laser beam while the opposite end emits an infrared signal to the FlyJacket i3800 to advance or return to previous slides/images when using IA Presenter and IA Album.

A17. Will the FlyJacket i3800 be able to output to my flat panel LCD monitor?
Yes, the FlyJacket i3800 is able to provide VGA output to flat panel LCD monitors that meet or support Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) VGA frequency standards. We have based the FlyJacket i3800 VGA output frequencies on those that are promulgated by VESA mainly because it is the most widely adapted standard. A majority of LCD VGA monitors have a range of frequency values supported for output at 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions that fall within VESA frequency standards. However, some LCD VGA monitors don't follow this standard.
The table below indicates the VESA VGA frequency standards that the FlyJacket i3800 is currently supporting.

A18. I can't get my remote control device to work.
If you are experiencing difficulties with the remote control device, please review the following:

       Make sure that ALL 6 batteries provided were properly inserted.

       
       Remember that the remote control is for use with IA Presenter and IA Album applications for slideshow page up/ down and image advance, respectively.
       The batteries might be low or have insufficient charge. Please purchase a replacement set according to the table below.

A19. It takes several seconds for the slide to advance during a slideshow on IA Presenter when I use the infrared remote control.
It is normal to experience a delayed response. The cause for the hesitation is NOT related to the FlyJacket i3800, rather it involves several other factors (application processing speed, iPAQ memory, file size, etc) involved with processing the 'infrared command'.

A20. If have connected a camcorder / VCR to the FlyJacket, what application do I use to preview video?
Use the IA Image Capture application included in the IA Style® PowerMedia Suite software bundle. Simply go to the Programs menu and tap on IA Image Capture icon to launch the program.

A21. I keep getting error messages when trying to connect a Microdrive™
Please consult the Microdrive? manufacturer's website for information on downloading and installing the latest driver version.

A22. There is "flickering" or "noise" on the VGA display.
These types of display errors occur when old FlyJacket i3800 drivers are installed. Please go here to download the latest version.

A23. Why does the battery meter on the PowerShow application indicate an incorrect value or none at all?
The first release of the PowerShow application had a tendency to display inaccurate battery levels. This error has been corrected in the newer version available here.

A24. If I power off my iPAQ, will it also shutdown the FlyJacket i3800?
No, since the FlyJacket i3800 battery functions independently from the iPAQ battery. To power off the FlyJacket i3800 requires closing the LifeView Shadow application by tapping on the EXIT button or the OK button (upper right-hand corner) from within the program.

A25. Why is the iPAQ performance so slow when connected to the FlyJacket i3800?
When the iPAQ is connected to the FlyJacket i3800, and a program like IA Presenter or IA Album is open, the Flyjacket display drivers are also running in the background. It is this resulting demand on iPAQ's limited memory from multiple programs working that creates processing delays.

IA PowerMedia Suit

Q1. Is it possible to install IA Style® PowerMedia Suite on a Secondary Storage card?

During the IA PowerMedia Suite installation process, a dialog box will appear asking: "Install IA Style® PowerMedia Suite using the default application install directory?" Select No, then another box will appear asking you to "Select Destination Media". Just select Save In Storage Card, and then the program will be saved in the storage card.

Q2. An error message appears when I try to "drag-n-drop" an MS PowerPoint® presentation file to my iPAQ.

Most error messages that appear during your use of the IA Presenter ActiveSync Filter/Converter are actually reported by the underlying Microsoft Office OLE automation libraries called by the IA Presenter Converter. IA Style® recommends that you first check the slides and try to identify what presentation object caused the problem. Deleting and re-generating that object may solve the problem. Completely uninstalling and re-installing MS PowerPoint® might help also.

However, if you are experiencing one of the rare cases in which the above suggestions don't work, and you receive an error message that you don't understand and that does not include any hints for correction, please send an e-mail to IA Style® containing a screen shot of the error message (or type the text of the message, including any numbers that follow the message). Also please tell IA Style® anything that might help IA Style® to duplicate the error, and, if possible, include the PowerPoint® file.

Q3. How do I use IA Presenter to output to VGA?

After inserting your iPAQ into the Flyjacket i3800, connect your VGA display device to the VGA connector: On your iPAQ, tap the Windows Start icon and then tap on Programs from the menu. Locate and tap on the IA Presenter icon. When IA Presenter opens:
   Select the Powerpoint file you wish to view by tapping on it
   Tap the following tabs: Tools | Options | VGA Output.
   Select the FlyJacket Sleeve (VGA Card), VGA (Output to) and your choice of resolution(Mode) and then tap "OK"
   Tap the View tab and select VGA Slideshow to view presentation on your VGA display device.

Q4. Two presentations appear, a full screen and a smaller display version, when I open my PowerPoint® file in IA Presenter.

This will occur in two situations:
   If the LifeView® Shadow application is not 'exited' prior to launching IA Presenter.
   If IA Presenter is launched while the IA Screen Mirror application is running.

Q5. When I use IA Presenter, the slide appears cut-off on the projector screen or LCD monitor, what should I do?

In most instances, using the "Refresh or Auto-Sync" function of the projector will correct this display error. Alternately, access the projector display menu to adjust the Horizontal Position or Vertical Position setting until slide appears correctly.

Q6. How do I use IA Album to output to VGA?

After inserting your iPAQ into the Flyjacket i3800, connect your VGA display device to the VGA connector: On your iPAQ, tap the Windows Start icon and then tap on Programs from the menu. Locate and tap on the IA Album icon. When IA Album opens:

   Tap the following tabs: Tools | Options | VGA
   Select the FlyJacket Sleeve (VGA Card), VGA (Output to) and your choice of resolution (Mode) and other parameters, then tap "OK"
   From the View tab, tap Mode and then select VGA Select to view images on your VGA display device

Q7. When I use IA Image Capture, the video preview display screen will 'freeze' after I capture an image.

This error has been corrected in the latest version of IA Image Capture. Please refer to the IA Style® website to receive the updated version.

Q8. I have converted a PPT file to IAP file format, but when I try to use IA Presenter to open the file, I see the error message: "10200:1000:10 File format is not valid".

The problem you are experiencing is a bug that sometimes shows up in IA Presenter 2.0. IA Style has updated IA Presenter, and as a FlyJacket i3800 owner, you can download and install a new version of the IA PowerMedia Suite (the suite of applications that includes IA Presenter.)

Q9. When I copy-paste my PPT file to my iPAQ, it still PPT, not IAP file why?

IA presenter only can convert PPS file to IAP. Please save your Power Point file to PPS, than copy-paste to your mobile device, you should see IAP file format in your iPAQ.

NOTE
For further technical questions or support issues relating to any of the 4 programs in the IA PowerMedia Suite, please visit IA PowerMedia Suite website or send an e-mail directly to the IA Style® support team.
