The ThinkPad(R) 755CDV has a new, innovative LCD display and built-in CD-ROM that highlights the 755CDV system. By removing the cover on the LCD, the LCD becomes transparent. When the system with its still-attached transparent LCD is placed on an overhead projector, information on the LCD is directly displayed on the projection screen. The ThinkPad 755CDV is equipped with a wireless remote controller, which uses the IR capability of the system, and advanced presentation software that help you generate impressive presentations and navigate through them. For example, with a touch of a button on a remote controller, you can magnify, spotlight, or highlight the screen to emphasize important information. A ThinkPad 755CDV system combined with any one of the four IBM docking solutions can easily become your primary personal computer, providing an alternative to a desktop system unit. Even without the docking solution, the ThinkPad 755CDV easily serves as a primary system with its large color display, high-capacity hard disk, large RAM capability, local bus video, high-performance microprocessor, and two Type II or one Type III PCMCIA slots. Host connectivity is attained with PCMCIA cards. SelectaSystem(TM) allows you to choose between DOS, Windows+, or OS/2(R) Warp operating systems. If you choose to use OS/2 Warp, you can run multiple DOS, Windows, and OS/2 applications at the same time without conflict. Plus, you can take advantage of the BonusPak applications that come with OS/2 Warp, including IBM Works and an Internet access kit with everything you need to travel the information superhighway via the IBM Global Network. The ThinkPad Pentium Upgrade (755CD) optional features allow you to upgrade the 755CDV system processor from the IntelDX4**-100MHz to the Intel** Pentium** 75MHz processor for increased performance. The IBM ThinkPad 755CV/CDV Cooling Fan Kit optional feature allows the use of overhead projectors that have more than a 575 Watt bulb or exceed 6,000 lumens by providing additional cooling to prevent damage to the ThinkPad 755CDV or 755CV.

DESCRIPTION Everything you need to make a quality presentation is neatly packaged in a compact 6.5 pound notebook. By removing the cover from the back of the display panel, the panel becomes transparent. By opening the panel to 180 degrees and placing the system on an overhead projector, you can display images just as they appear on your ThinkPad screen -- in over 64,000 colors. The 5.25-inch CD-ROM drive has XA (extended architecture), double-speed (150/300 Kbps), and multisession Photo CD, plus you get the following: Enhanced video card Stereo speakers MIDI/joystick port IBM ThinkPad 755CDV at a Glance IntelDX4-100MHz processor Large memory capacity (8MB to 40MB using DIMM memory modules and the Memory Module Adapter) High-capacity hard disks: 540MB or 810MB standard; optional 1.2GB hard disk Removable 5.25-inch CD-ROM, enhanced video, and stereo speakers NiMH battery pack (optional LI-Ion battery pack) Local bus video with acceleration Mwave DSP subsystem 14.4 Kbps data/fax modem Built-in microphone and speaker Dial volume control Infrared (IR) TrackPoint III Full complement of ports for peripheral connections 240-pin docking connector Removable 1.44MB floppy diskette drive Type III PCMCIA slot Large 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) active matrix display (640 x 480 resolution VGA) Preinstalled software: OS/2 Warp 3.0 with BonusPak applications, PC DOS 7, and Windows 3.11 operating systems preinstalled with SelectaSystem capability, plus a suite of applications preinstalled for the user to choose from Onscreen electronic personalization Compatibility with previous ThinkPad 755 systems and IBM docking options These ThinkPad 755CDV advanced-function models bring you innovative technology, instant productivity with preinstalled software, and outstanding service and support. ThinkPad 755CDV Features LCD Display: These models have the 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display with VGA resolution. This bright, TFT Active Matrix display provides superior viewing capability and lessens the glare indoors. The 755CDV features the new LCD technology providing data projection capability. By removing the LCD cover and putting the computer on an overhead projector, information on the LCD screen is projected on a larger screen. When the LCD cover is installed, this LCD serves as a regular 10.4-inch (maximum viewable area when measured diagonally) TFT screen. With the appropriate display driver installed, up to 65,536 simultaneous colors can be displayed. Depending on work surface area of the overhead projector and/or projection-table design, the 755CDV may be difficult to put on the overhead projector so that information is projected right-side-up. It is possible to rotate information on the LCD screen by using a video driver setup. Information can be projected right-side-up by rotating information on the LCD, and putting the ThinkPad on the overhead projector on the side with more space on it. This rotate function is supported for Windows. OS/2 Warp Version 3 support for a rotate video driver will be available during 1995. Processor: At the heart of this system is the IntelDX4-100MHz processor with an internal cache and floating-point processor, providing exceptional performance. The IBM ThinkPad Pentium 75MHz Upgrade option is also available for the 755CD and 755CDV systems. Memory: These systems are designed to use parity memory. The system comes standard with 8MB RAM, upgradeable to a total of 40MB using DIMM memory modules with the Memory Module Adapter. The system memory can exceed 24MB when using IC DRAM cards larger than 16MB. This high-capacity and fast memory (70ns) can handle almost any application the mobile professional may have to execute. PCMCIA: The Type III slot can accommodate either two Type I, or two Type II, or one Type III PC card. If additional PCMCIA cards are required, the optional ThinkPad PCMCIA cartridge can be placed in the ThinkPad 755CDV ThinkPad UltraBay providing an additional Type III slot. The ThinkPad UltraBay not only can accommodate this option, but it can also house the optional 2.88MB diskette drive (FDD). IBM PC Card Director software is preinstalled and provides support for the latest PCMCIA standard, 2.1. This software enables many PCMCIA cards, allowing the user to simply plug in the card. PC Card Director with Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver: PC Card Director helps you get status and information on PCMCIA cards installed in the system. In addition, on OS/2 and on Microsoft** Windows, PC Card Director can register an application program for PCMCIA cards and execute them automatically. Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver enable supported PCMCIA cards by sensing them automatically. Supported PCMCIA cards by Auto Configurator and Memory Device Driver are listed in the Compatibility and Supported Products section. Keyboard and TrackPoint III: The keyboard has the familiar ThinkPad layout with a function key capability, allowing you to quickly access system functions, like power management control. The keyboard lifts up, allowing access to the FDD bay, HDD bay, and battery for quick upgrades or battery changes. The TrackPoint III is an enhanced Trackpoint(TM) II with improved non-slip TrackPoint cap and more accurate pointing capability through improved software. The "drag and drop" function of the click buttons is enhanced. You can lock and hold the buttons in without having to keep pushing on them. Storage: The standard, customer-installable hard drive is 540MB or 810MB. An optional 1.2GB hard drive is available. The drive is easily removed by lifting up the keyboard. You can have multiple "systems" by installing a different hard drive. Systems can also be shared by users who have their own hard drive but no ThinkPad system unit. A 1.44MB FDD drive comes standard. The ThinkPad UltraBay, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of an FDD or PCMCIA cartridge in what would normally be just the floppy diskette drive bay. The 755CDV comes with a 5.25-inch CD-ROM with XA (extended architecture), double-speed (150/300 Kbps), in the ThinkPad UltraBay instead of the diskette drive. IBM Mwave Digital Signal Processor (DSP): The Mwave MDSP2780 operates at up to 60 million operations per second for integrating audio, games, music, data/fax modem, and telephony into a DSP. Features and benefits include: 44.1KHz MPC-2 16-bit audio with real-time compression Simultaneous audio play and record Digital audio mixing with up to eight open .WAV sources General MIDI-compatible, 32-voice wavetable synthesizer Sound Blaster** support 14.4 Kbps data/fax modem Full-featured telephone Answering machine with variable speed message playback and voice compression Hands-free, full-duplex speakerphone This feature set can be enhanced simply by upgrading the DSP software. Audio/Video/CD-ROM: The audio capability on the system board (DSP) and the integrated microphone allow voice annotation and audio capability. The system is equipped with audio in/out jacks for stereo speakers/headphone and external microphone. A separate dial volume control is located to the rear of the keyboard on the system. The 755CDV systems have VESA local bus support with video acceleration, providing exceptional video performance. With its own advanced functions, the 755CDV also has the same integrated functions as the 755CD, including: 5.25-inch CD-ROM drive XA (extended architecture), double-speed (150/300 Kbps) Multisession Photo CD Enhanced video card providing for: Additional video acceleration (interpolative scaling or smoothing) Composite IN and S-Video IN for still image, motion video capture, and overlay Composite OUT and S-Video OUT to TV Note: NTSC and PAL protocols are supported. Stereo speakers .5W each Located on the keyboard above the function keys MIDI/joystick port The addition of the above functions allows the 755CDV to comply with the MPC-2 multimedia standard. The 755CDV has the same preinstalled software as the 755CV, with the following additions: Digital Video Producer from Asymetrix to perform video overlay and still image/video capture with the Enhanced Video card ThinkPad Multimedia Library -- an assortment of CD-ROMs to take advantage of the integrated CD-ROM drive. The "Microsoft Home CD Sampler with Custom Windows Entertainment Pack" will be part of the ThinkPad Multimedia Library while supplies last. The CD-ROM drive fits into the ThinkPad UltraBay and is mutually exclusive with the floppy diskette drive. To use the floppy diskette internally, the CD-ROM drive must first be taken out, which is easily done. To use the internal CD-ROM and the FDD simultaneously, the FDD external enclosure and one of the four docking solutions are required. Note: The CDPD Mobile Communications module cannot be used in the ThinkPad 755CDV system. Infrared (IR): The use of IR has been greatly enhanced by the incorporation of Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro software on all models and the inclusion of the IR Mind Path Remote Control with the 755CDV. This combination of Mind Path products on the 755CDV allows the system to be controlled remotely through the use of the wireless IR capability during presentations. It also enables the use of effects such as magnify, spotlight, and telestrator to be added to the screen during presentations. The system has IR transceivers in front and back for wireless file and data transfer. The ThinkPad 755CDV is designed for compliance with the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) IR data link specification Version 1.0. The system supports three modes of operation: IBM mode (from 57.6 Kbps to 1.15 Mbps) HP** mode (from 9600 bps to 115 Kbps) Sharp** mode (9600 bps) Preinstalled software provides wireless file transfer, file synchronization, and clip board data transfer. With the infrared feature, data can be exchanged with the following systems by using the following vendor software packages: Systems Software Omnibook 300** LapLink Remote Access** HP 100LX** Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX** Sharp Wizard** PC Interface Software, 9000 Link for PCs OZ-990(W)** When using the infrared feature to communicate with this system, the communications distance may be shorter than when communicating with another ThinkPad 755CDV, 755CV, 755CE, 755CSE, or 755CD depending on the capabilities of the other systems. The ThinkPad 755CDV is shipped with the IR Mind Path Model 55 Wireless Remote Controller Kit and Presentation F/X Pro software. The remote mouse controller communicates with ThinkPad native IR ports (115 Kbps modulation). The remote controller has mouse disk and click buttons to provide full mouse-compatible movement and clicking operation. Special buttons of the remote controller are useful to perform special effects, such as highlight, magnify, and spotlight on projected presentation. Special effects are performed by Presentation F/X Pro software preinstalled on the hard disk drive. It is possible to change the selection of effects and characteristics by using the setup screen of the Presentation F/X Pro software. At time of shipment, mouse function is supported for DOS, Windows, and OS/2. Special effect by the Presentation F/X Pro is supported for Windows. Presentation F/X Pro upgrade to OS/2 is presented by the Mind Path Technologies in Dallas, Texas. For more details, call 214-233-9296 for customer support sponsored by the Mind Path Technologies. Warranty service for the Mind Path Remote Controller is provided by Mind Path Technologies and is a customer-direct return item. Refer to the information included in the 755CDV shipping carton, or contact Mind Path Technologies at the above number. Other Features: The use of system memory by BIOS, for example, is significantly reduced. BIOS uses 96KB of system memory (video, 32KB -- all other, 64KB). The system has the full complement of ports (enhanced parallel port, SVGA, pointer-keyboard, and serial). In addition, a 240-pin connector supports the four IBM docking solutions: Dock I -- portable docking with a slot and bay Dock II -- desktop docking with slots, bays, and PCMCIA slots Port Replicator I -- cable manager with a Type III PCMCIA slot or Type II PCMCIA slots Port Replicator II -- cable manager only An RJ11 jack is also included because the DSP provides data/fax modem capability with speeds up to 14.4 Kbps. New Options for ThinkPad 755CDV The ThinkPad 755CDV system supports most of the options that were announced with the ThinkPad 755CD, 755CE, and 755CSE systems. The IBM ThinkPad 755CV/CDV Cooling Fan Kit optional feature allows the use of overhead projectors that have more than a 575 Watt bulb or exceed 6,000 lumens by providing additional cooling to prevent damage to the ThinkPad 755CDV or 755CV.

The 180-degree rotation function of the video device driver is for 256-color and 640 x 480 resolution only. The video capturing function and simultaneous display (LCD and CRT) mode are not supported by 180-degree rotation video driver. DOS programs are not supported by the 180-degree rotation video driver. The 180-degree rotation video driver support is only available when using applications under Windows 3.11. The 180-degree rotation driver for OS/2 Warp (native sessions or with WIN-OS/2(TM)) will be provided, when available, through the PCC BBS by calling 919-517-0001. The OS/2 version of Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro is available. Information can be obtained by calling Mind Path Technologies, Inc., at 800-736-6830, or the PCC BBS at 919-517-0001. Either the Mind Path IR remote controller device driver or the IBM IR device driver can be enabled at any time in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file. It is necessary to disable the Mind Path IR remote controller device driver when the ThinkPad IR port, or an application that uses the COM1 port for data transmittal is used as this port by the Mind Path Remote Controller. In the Infrared panel of the Mind Path Presentation F/X Pro setup program, click the "off" button in the Infrared box to disable the IR remote controller and enable the IBM IR driver. To use the remote controller, click on the ThinkPad Internal button. If the ThinkPad enters suspend mode while a video is playing, when using Video for Windows and Presentation F/X Pro and the Mind Path Remote Controller, the ThinkPad may not resume properly. Close the Presentation F/X Pro software prior to suspending the system, if a video is playing. Some optional features or applications may use the COM1 port. OS/2 Warp Version 3 will not load COM.SYS if the COM1 port is already in use. Only one such feature or application that uses the COM1 (for example, communications or PCMCIA) can be used at a time. For example, the Mind Path IR Remote Controller uses the COM1 port and this controller must be disabled to use another application that also uses COM1. Some special effects of the Presentation F/X program are not effective during motion pictures and digital video playback that frequently access the video buffer. A wavy pattern may appear if the lamp circuit noise of certain overhead projectors interferes with the 755CDV LCD display. A wavy pattern may appear on the LCD or/and projected information. Use an alternative overhead projector. Do not use the 755CDV on an overhead projector that is specifically designed for very large magnification using extremely bright light source. The high temperature may cause hardware problems. Do not use overhead projectors with greater than 6,000 lumens, or a light source greater than a 575 Watt lamp. (Refer to Using the ThinkPad 755CDV with Overhead Projector section.) To prevent damage to the ThinkPad 755CDV or 755CV, the ThinkPad 755CV/CDV Cooling Fan Kit optional feature is recommended for use with overhead projectors that have more than a 575 Watt bulb or exceed 6,000 lumens. If the Pentium 75MHz processor upgrade has been installed in a 755CV or CDV, the use of the IBM ThinkPad 755CV/CDV Cooling Fan Kit is recommended for use with overhead projectors that have a light bulb of 400 Watts or more, or greater than 3,000 lumens. The Warp fixpak XR0W005 is required for audio, modem, and printer support if OS/2 Warp Version 3 needs to be reinstalled. Fixpak XR_A087 is required for audio, data fax modem, and telephony functions under OS/2 2.11. Call 800-992-4777 to get these APAR fixes.

Installation of the software update named WIN311.ZIP is required to use WIN-OS/2 session when OS/2 for Windows is used under Windows 3.11. This is currently available on the PCC BBS by calling 919-517-0001. The PCC BBS is available 24 hours a day on a toll-call basis with no access charge to the bulletin board. When using the redirector feature of the Connectivity Pack for the HP 100LX to exchange data over an infrared link at 115 Kbps, the ThinkPad 755CDV should be configured as the requestor. Telephony and answering machine functions do not support PBX. When using the 755CDV, video acceleration is not supported when the video output is shown on the TV. When video playback using enhanced video is shown on the TV, the video will not show on the TFT display of the 755CDV. Video performance is reduced when operating under the 64K color mode. In some applications, color or brightness differences in the displayed image may occur between the LCD and CRT when Enhanced Video is enabled and "Video-in/no video equipment" is selected. In this case, disable Enhanced Video or select "Video-out." The Mwave MDSP2780 (DSP) does not support cellular phone connection. The system cannot enter the suspend/hibernation mode when the Sound Blaster emulation mode is enabled in a DOS environment. IBM Enhanced Mouse (92G7457) cannot be used with TrackPoint III. When using the IBM Enhanced Mouse, TrackPoint III should be disabled. When the MIDI/joystick port is used, it is recommended that the POWER.EXE and FUELDOS.COM be removed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. These files may cause intermittent incorrect movement of the joystick. Continuous use of the HDD drive, such as reading long video files, will impact battery life. In the ThinkPad 755CDV, the use of the Enhanced Video function will also impact battery life. The fifth PCMCIA slot cannot be identified by the IBM PC Card Director memory device driver when installing the IBM ThinkPad PCMCIA Cartridge in the FDD bay of the system unit when the IBM ThinkPad Port Replicator I or ThinkPad Dock II is attached. The Cellular CDPD Communications Module cannot be used with the ThinkPad 755CDV systems. ThinkPad 755CDV systems have one memory slot per system. By using 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB IC DRAM optional feature cards, up to 24MB of system memory is possible. Larger than 16MB IC DRAM cards may be available from IBM ThinkPad Proven(TM) vendors and can be used. By using the DIMM technology, the IBM Memory Module Adapter and the 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB memory modules, up to 40MB of system memory is possible. As the audio and communication features share the hardware resource of Mwave DSP, their concurrent usage has some restrictions. For example, when you are using any of the communication features, you cannot use the MIDI audio capability. The system is designed so that the PCMCIA card can be installed or removed without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card supports this function. Refer to the instructions that come with the PCMCIA card. When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only one card to be used. PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services Release 2.1. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that cannot be anticipated. Also, point enablers may interfere with client device drivers that communicate with Socket and Card Services Release 2.1. Additional testing in customer-specific environments is recommended. PCMCIA diagnostics programs usually do not recognize slot numbers greater than two. To diagnose a suspected faulty card, make sure the PCMCIA card is in one of the PCMCIA slots of the system proper. Point enablers usually do not support slot numbers above two. If using a PCMCIA card with a point enabler, make sure that the card is in the slots on the system proper. A video capture adapter that requires VGA pass-through (video pass-through, VESA bus) is not supported by the 755CDV and the IBM Docking Stations. The IBM 8516 Touch Screen Color Display and IBM ThinkPad Space Saver Keyboard require the TrackPoint III to be disabled before attaching it to the connector. To disable the TrackPoint III, follow the instructions provided in the User's Guide. The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector accessory is required when attaching an external keyboard to the system via the external input device port. The password prompt is not displayed when the computer resumes from partial suspend mode while it is attached to the IBM ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II. To operate, you will need to type the correct password. If one of these systems is used with the IBM ThinkPad Dock I or Dock II, then, for the comfort and convenience of the user, the height of the system should be adjusted or an external keyboard should be used. Using the ThinkPad 755CDV with Overhead Projector: In a small to medium size room (for up to 50 people), the ThinkPad 755CDV can be used on an overhead projector with a light bulb of 400 Watts or less, or a luminance of up to 3,000 lumens. For a large room, an overhead projector with a light bulb of up to 575 Watts or 6,000 lumens can be used. If the light bulb is over 575 Watts or 6,000 lumens, do not use the 755CDV on that projector. The computer may be damaged due to the heat coming from the projector. Use of the IBM ThinkPad 755CV/CDV Cooling Fan Kit is recommended when the overhead projector bulb is greater than 575 Watts or 6,000 lumens. Refer to the manual supplied with the projector to determine the lumens or check the wattage on the light bulb of the overhead projector. The ThinkPad Pentium Upgrade (755CD) optional feature allows you to upgrade the 755CDV system processor from the IntelDX4-100MHz to the Intel Pentium 75MHz processor for increased performance. If the Pentium 75MHz processor upgrade is installed in a 755CV or CDV, the use of the IBM ThinkPad 755CV/CDV Cooling Fan Kit is recommended for use with overhead projectors that have a light bulb of 400 watts or more or greater than 3,000 lumens. Suspend Mode Operational Considerations Do not remove or install PC cards during suspend mode. Suspend mode shuts off power to the PCMCIA sockets. When using Windows 3.11, ensure that the Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed. Non-disruptive battery exchange allows you to put the system in suspend mode and exchange battery packs without any loss of data or function. During suspend mode, the maximum power output becomes 60mA at 12 V. During suspend mode, PCMCIA cards cannot consume more than 60mA at 12 V. Planning Information Cable Orders: All cables are included with the system. Installability: ThinkPad 755CDV systems require about 20 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install other memory and optional features.

Your name, contact address, or phone number can be displayed on the screen when the system is turned on. This helps if the ThinkPad is misplaced. Personal data is stored in the system's non-volatile memory and is displayed with a password prompt. Passwords A Power-on Password (POP) protects the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears: Each time the system is turned on. When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode. A Supervisor Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Supervisor Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. The Supervisor Password prompt appears when the hardware configuration is changed. An HDD Password (HDP) protects HDD data from unauthorized users. Once HDP is set, data on the HDD cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored in the HDD, the data remains protected even if the HDD is removed to another system. The HDP password prompt appears: Each time the system is turned on. When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode. The user can use the hook on the hard disk locking mechanism to leash with a user-selected padlock and chain or cable. The user can attach the Kensington** lock to the keyhole on the side of the computer. This prevents the keyboard from opening and secures the internal devices under the keyboard. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
