SOME HINTS

BOUT WHAT

O DO FIRST

Congratulations! By now you should have read the Installation Poster, started your T ablet PC, and initialized W indows XP. We recommend that you now take the following steps:

NOTE: If you are reading this User Guide from our website, you may not have set up nor used a Tablet PC before. When you can begin using your unit, you must plug it into a standard USB keyboard and initialize Windows XP operating system software. This procedure is described in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

• Calibrate the Pen

• Practice using the Pen

• Play Inkball

• Go through tutorials.

• Check out the Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300.

• See what’s on the Windows Help and Support Center page.

• Take the Microsoft Windows XP tour.

Each of these is briefly described in the following sections.

Calibrate the Pen

Your Pen will function better and you’ll be more successful using it if you calibrate it immediately and recalibrate it as needed. For information about calibrating the Pen, see the section “Calibrating the Pen” in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

Practice Using the Pen

The Motion M-Series Pen is one of the unique components of the Tablet PC, but it may take a little practice to use. Here are some hints:

• When you write with the Pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere on the display without disturbing any open programs or damaging the durable display surface.

• Watch the small dot, which is the Pen cursor, instead of the Pen tip when you write. The cursor is a guide for your Pen movements.

• Practice writing and learn how hard and where to tap on the display . You need these skills for writing recognition and for tapping icons and menus to activate functions.

• The Pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and when and how to click the function button to right-click like a mouse.

For other hints about using the Pen, see the section “Using the Pen” in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 4

Chapter 1 Getting Started with Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs

TABLET PC DISPLAY AND WRITING SURFACES

Chapter

Motion M1200 and M1300

Tablet PC Hardware

This chapter describes the Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs, their components, LEDs, hardware, and accessories.

All Motion Computing Tablet PC displays and writing surfaces combine three key components:

• A highly-readable, liquidcrystal display

• An acrylic protective layer that provides a hard writing surface, minimizes glare, and improves viewability

• Under the display, a digitizer panel that allows on-screen keyboard data entry, plus hand-written entry with a speciallydesigned Digitizer Pen

Unlike touchscreens and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), both T ablet PC displays respond only to the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen. Neither Tablet PC will not respond to a PDA stylus or to finger taps.

You can steady your hand on the display surface when you write. The pressure of your hand won’t affect any open programs or data input.

NOTE: For more information about the care and maintenance of either Tablet PC display and writing surface, see Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

applications open or any unsaved work, Windows XP prompts you to save it. Y ou will lose any unsaved work.

OPENING THE MOTION DASHBOARD

SAVING POWER USING STAND BY

OR HIBERNATE

In the following sections, you will be asked to open the Motion Dashboard. You can do this by pressing Hot Key #1, shown here, on the Tablet PC chassis.

You can also access Dashboard by first selecting Start, then All Programs, and finally Motion Resources, where the Dashboard option appears.

The Motion Dashboard offers many Tablet PC functions in a convenient location.

You can save Tablet PC power with either low-power Stand By or Hibernation modes. Each preserves your Tablet PC settings so you can resume work where you left off. Their differences are described below:

• Stand By mode — Greatly reduces Tablet PC power consumption, but

the Tablet runs on battery if not connected to AC power. The Tablet PC restarts from Stand By within a few seconds. Choose Stand By when you plan to return to work within a few minutes or hours and want to conserve power

• Hibernate mode — Completely shuts down the Tablet PC to conserve

power . It take slightly longer to restart from Hibernate than from Stand By. Choose Hibernate when you plan to stop work for longer periods such as overnight and for battery swapping.

Starting Stand By or Hibernate from the Start Button

To quickly access Stand By or Hibernate:

1. Select Start/Turn Off Computer.

2. From the pop-up window, tap Stand By or press the Shift key to toggle to Hibernate and then tap that option.

3. The Tablet PC will turn off. In Stand By, the power LED will flash green. In Hibernate, all LEDs are off.

IMPORTANT: Always select Hibernate when you install a battery if you want to resume work where you left off.

Calibrating the Pen to Increase Its Accuracy

Be sure to calibrate your Pen the first time you start your Tablet PC, then at other times if the onscreen pointer doesn’t seem to line up with the Pen tip. Each person who uses the Tablet PC set their own calibration; the Tablet PC stores these settings on a per-user basis. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the Pen and adjusts the Tablet PC display for different people.

To open the calibration program:

1. Open the Motion Dashboard and tap the Calibrate button. Or double-tap the T ablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of the display window. This opens the Tablet and Pen Settings window.

NOTE: This icon may be hidden in the System Tray. Tap the System Tray down-arrow to open all hidden icons.

2. Choose the Settings tab.

3. Tap Calibrate while holding the Pen in a normal writing manner.

4. Carefully align the Pen point precisely in the crosshairs in the calibration display for best performance.

5. Rotate the Tablet PC display and repeat this for each orientation

(0o, 90o, 180o, or 270o).

Tips for Writing with the Pen

The first time you pick up the Pen, you’ll notice it is lightweight (it has no internal battery), has an unusual tip, and contains an elongated button that we call the “function button.” The Pen is described below:

• You can hold the Pen like any other writing pen, except that you should place your fingers on either side of the Pen function button so that you don’t inadvertently press it as you write. Pressing the function button while tapping the Pen on the display is like right-clicking with a mouse and will launch pop-up menus.

• Practice pressing the Pen function button with both your index finger and thumb to see which you prefer.

• Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the Pen.

• With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display to activate buttons and menus.

• The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet PC will be converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive handwriting, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.

• When you hold the Pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot) appears under the Pen tip on the display and moves with the Pen on the

Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 28

Chapter 4

Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs

display. To select something on the display, line up this pointer before you touch (tap) the Pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the Tablet PC display reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch the Pen to the display.

CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other pointed objects that could damage it.

MAKING BEST USE OF THE TABLET PC INPUT PANEL

HINTS FOR WORKING WITH

THE INPUT

PANEL

The Tablet PC Input Panel keyboard and writing areas are key Tablet PC features you will use constantly to:

• Enter passwords

• Type titles in Journal documents

• Write or type E-mail messages

• Perform other writing tasks

1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel by tapping the icon, shown here.

2. With another application active, such as a password window, a Journal document, or Outlook, write or type on the Input Panel window.

3. After a short delay, your handwriting will be automatically — the default — sent to the active program.

Here are some hints about Tablet PC Input Panel:

• Disappearing text — If you don’t have an active application or the Preview window open, your writing or typing will disappear from the display in a few seconds. Open one of these to accept your text input.

• Tablet PCs without Microsoft Office — If you don’t have Microsoft Office installed, these programs, which include Word, Outlook, Excel, will not accept Input Panel text. However, other programs will, including Journal, Wordpad, and Notepad.

• Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some applications (such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, they don’t transfer to the Text Preview window. If you draw from the Input Panel with the Text Preview window open, Windows XP tries to interpret the drawing as text, with unpredictable results.

• Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend you use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this confidential information where it is clearly visible.

To transfer ink input to another application:

1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel.

2. Close the Text Preview window by deselecting it from Tools.

3. Open another application, such as Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word to write your input to. If you don’t open this second application, your input will disappear from the Tablet PC Input Panel display in a few seconds.

4. Tap the down arrow beside Send.

5. Enable Send as Ink. (If the application you have open doesn’t accept ink input, this option will be grayed out.)

6. Create the text or simple drawing you want to send as ink.

NOTE: To increase the size of the text and drawings, highlight these on screen, then change the font size. Wordpad and Notepad don’t allow you to reset the default font size, but once you increase the font size, later inputs will retain the new sizing.

FAQS How long will the battery stay charged?

This can vary according how you’re using the T ablet PC, but a new, fully charged standard Motion M-Series 6-cell battery can last 3-4 hours.

Can I make the battery charge last longer?

• Change to the Max Battery power scheme (right-click on the Power/ Battery icon in the System Tray--located in the lower-right corner of the display window--and tap Adjust Power Properties; under Power schemes, tap Max Battery). The Tablet PC comes with Motion Computing Optimized as the default power-scheme.

• Dim the display brightness by opening Dashboard and moving the Display Brightness slider. (You can also double-tap on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray and choose the Display tab to get this brightness slider.)

• Disconnect LAN/modem connections and disable wireless communications when not in use (uncheck the Wireless Communications checkbox in the Motion Dashboard)

• Turn off optional and unnecessary background programs and turn off or unplug accessory equipment from the USB and IEEE 1394 ports

What does the Tablet PC need for use in another country?

Just an outlet adapter, which you can find in airports and travel stores. The AC adapter will adjust automatically to different voltage when plugged into the correct location-appropriate power adapter.

What’s the best way to clean the display screen?

You can spray a window-type cleaner onto a soft cloth, like the one supplied with your Tablet PC, to clean the display screen. Do not spray cleaners, spray/pour any liquid, nor wipe any abrasive cleaner on the screen nor any surface of the Tablet PC. Do not use tissues or paper towels to clean the screen. They contain wood fibers and may scratch the surface.

Will scratches affect the display/digitizer’s performance?

Testing has not found appreciable loss of performance on a scratched display.

How sensitive is the screen to sunlight and the elements?

As with any computer or electronic device, the Tablet PC should be protected from liquids, dirt and sand, other contaminants, and extreme heat.

Will the Tablet PC work with any monitor or USB accessory keyboard, mouse, disk drive, etc?

As long as the device’s driver is available either in the Windows XP operating system or from the manufacturer and it carries the Windows XP logo or certification, it should work with your Tablet PC. For more information, see www.microsoft.com/help.

Why doesn’t the Tablet PC or FlexDock have parallel, serial, or PS2 (mouse) ports?

Microsoft Tablet PC certification requires the system to be completely Grab-and-Go—that is, to be able to dock with and undock from all accessories without putting the system into suspend or shutting it down. Connection through legacy ports (serial, parallel, PS2) often requires suspending or restarting the system, which prevents you from moving between desktop mode and mobile mode seamlessly in one docking/ undocking step. You can purchase a USB-to-serial or USB-to-parallel adapter from Motion Computing or a Motion Computing reseller.

How do I adjust the Tablet for left-handed use?

Double-tap on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower-right corner of the display window, which opens the Settings window. You can change handedness as well as the location of the menus.
