Making Effective Presentations from your handled Efficiently
Making presentations when standing away
The remote control device included in the product packaging can be very useful when making
presentations. It helps you make presentations while you are at the podium or elsewhere in the room. A
few tips:
•
When the handheld “hears” the remote control, you will see an innocuous red-dot appear at the
bottom-right corner of your presentation. If that red-dot does not appear when you press any key
on the remote-control, it means that the remote-control is not being recognized (out-of-range,
low-battery, etc.) Make sure to point the remote control at the infra-red (IR) window of the
handheld.
•
You can make a complete presentation from a Remote Control. Other features include going
directly to a particular slide by punching that slide number. To return to the slide you came from,
simply press the RETURN button on the Remote Control.
Reviewing Notes and Slide Text Content while Making Presentations- the Cheat Sheet
One of the powerful features of the Presenter-to-Go solutions is the ability to review notes and slide text
content while making presentations. Here is how you can do it:
•
Select the notes of the first slide that you want to show.
•
From within the Notes window, pressing the Down button on the Visor or Forward button on the
remote will advance the presentation to the next slide. The notes and text content corresponding
to that slide are shown on the Visor display.
•
If you are in the standard slide list display (i.e. not in the notes page), and while you are viewing
one slide, you can check the notes or slide text content of another by pressing its note button.
The display will not advance. You can then determine if you want to hide that slide or not. You
can the press the note button of the slide you are showing to re-synchronize the notes with the
presentation.
Charging a handheld while making a presentation
You must use a Handspring Visor Prism handheld to have the ability to charge while making a
presentation.
•
Obtain a Travel Charger from Handspring, and connect it to the HotSync connector at the
bottom of the Prism handheld.
•
Now you can have the Presenter-to-Go module powered and the handheld charging at the
same time.
