Customizing Your Motion C5 Environment

Motion Dashboard

The Motion Dashboard is a software application on the C5 tablet and is used to customize the computer environment in two ways that are important to clinicians:
1. Changing the screen brightness – Caveat: the brighter the screen the most battery power is used so it is recommended that the screen brightness be at the lowest brightness that is comfortable for the user
2. Calibrating the pen tip -
To open the Dashboard click on the top right button on the C5
To calibrate the pen tap on Pen & Tablet menu on left side of dialog box
Then tap on Calibrate Digitizer button and follow directions on the screen

Change the brightness of the screen manually

Pen and Ink Introduction

Digital pen basics
When you write with the pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere without disturbing any open programs or damaging the display.
Watch the cursor instead of the pen tip when you write. The cursor is a guide for your pen movements. If it does not align with the pen tip, you should recalibrate the pen – see instructions above.
Practice writing and learn how firmly and where to tap on the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant screen.
The pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and when and how to press the pen function button, which activates right-click options (such as pop-up menus). You can also activate the right-click options by pressing and holding the pen tip on the surface of the display.
Using the pen as a mouse
Tap — Firmly tap the pen on the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant display, without pressing the function button on the pen; a tap equals a mouse left-click
Double-tap — Tap the pen twice on the display, without pressing the function button on the pen
Right-click — Press the function button on the pen and tap the pen on the display (equals a
mouse right-click)
Press and hold — Press and hold the tip of the pen to the display without pressing the pen function button (equals a mouse right-click)
Select/Highlight — To select a letter, word, or line of text, drag the pen across the text to highlight it.
Hands on exercise:
Practice above skills. Use Microsoft Notepad, WordPad or Word if needed.
If it feels like the pen tip is scratching the display surface then the pen tip needs changed. The pen tips are softer than the display screen and will not scratch the screen however dirt/grit can become imbedded in the pen tip and that will scratch the screen. Pen tips have a life expectancy of 6 months to 1 year depending on use and environment.
© 2008 Motion Computing, Inc. All Rights Reserved Rev. 4
Page 11 of 29
To change the pen tips: Take the little silver metal C-shaped device that came with the pens and replacement tips. There is a notched area on one of the open end of the C. Use the C-shaped device like a pair of tweezers and grasp the end of the pen tip. Pull out the old pen tip and replace with a new one. NOTE: If your IT department did not provide you with replacement tips or the tip changing tool then contact your IT support group and request a new pen tip.

Accessing and using the Tablet Input Panel (TIP) to insert text

The Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant Input Panel (TIP) is the primary tool for entering text and provides several text correction and control options. The TIP also includes buttons for activating speech recognition and voice command capabilities. It is opened by tapping the TIP icon in the Windows task bar.
Tap the icon to open the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant Input panel (TIP). It is usually located at the bottom left of the screen next to the start menu
The Tablet Input Panel has three input modes: Writing Pad, Character Pad, and On-Screen Keyboard Writing Pad: With some practice, you can use handwriting recognition 80-95% of the time
Character Pad: note the vertical lines that make a space for each character – this is good for writing complicated names or medications with letters and numbers such as D51/2NS
On-Screen Keyboard: best used for User Names and Password s
You can change from the writing pad to a character pad or on-screen keyboard at any time by tapping the appropriate icon on the left side of the TIP panel.
On the right side of the TIP panel there are icons for
Tools and Options and for TIP Help.
Page 12 of 29
© 2008 Motion Computing, Inc. All Rights Reserved Rev. 4
Click on the gray gear icon Tools and Options This will bring up the menu that will allow you to put the TIP at the top
of the screen or the bottom by clicking on the “Dock at the Top of the Screen” or “Dock at the Bottom of the Screen.”
If you dock the TIP at the top of the screen the TIP will automatically expand as you had more lines. Below is an example of how the TIP will expand when docked at top of screen. However, if the TIP is docked at the bottom of the screen, it has no room to expand and you will need to tap on Insert at the end of each line.
If you select “Undocked” the TIP tool will appear whenever you put the pen close to the screen and will disappear when you take the pen away. This is called the “floating TIP.” It is important to remember that this functionality may not work with certain applications or if you are using a Citrix environment. Your Help Desk or IT department will be able to tell you if you are using Citrix.

Using the Writing Pad
As you write, the software selects the best match for a word from its dictionary of words and displays it on-screen. Word
recognition is based on shapes not actual words. You may write in block text or cursive script but avoid using all caps. The writing pad is the best mode for writing notes that are less than 2-3 sentences in length such as those you write during a shift assessment. If you are doing a full admission assessment, it may be easier to use a keyboard depending on the amount of free text entry required. Like any psychomotor skills, it will take some practice to learn to how the TIP recognizes your handwriting.

Correcting a Word in the Writing Pad

There are three ways to correct a word in the writing pad; correct by selection, correct by letter or erase the entire word and rewrite it.
If the word shown is not the correct word, tap on the word to select it. This will bring up the character pad and suggested words.
In the following example, either hand write directly over the incorrect character or tap the character to open a list of alternatives (as shown here: O, 0, a, 6). You can erase a word you have just written, by rapidly scratching back and forth over it. See instructions further on in this manual.
Handwriting recognition can not be “trained” to recognize your specific handwriting. It trains you to write more clearly
© 2008 Motion Computing, Inc. All Rights Reserved Rev. 4
Page 14 of 29
The writing and character pads expand to show Numbers (Num) or Symbols (Sym) toolbars, whose symbols are inserted immediately in the text entry area as you select them. Then, when you begin to hand write on the writing or character pad, the Num or Sym toolbar closes.
Number pad can be useful for entering vital signs and I&O
Erase by scratching through entire word: Must scratch back and forth in a straight line two or three times; not in circles. Start your line before the word and end the line after the word. You can also use a Z-shaped motion.
Hands on exercise:
Practice above skills. Use Microsoft Notepad, WordPad or Word if needed.
Using the Character Pad
Use the character pad for acronyms, equations, or other entries that require individual letters, numbers, or symbols that the writing pad may interpret incorrectly. Some examples include the following: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ and*( ) _+ < >{ }[ ] \ /. Symbols/letters are displayed in a text equivalent that you can individually correct by:
Handwriting over the text equivalent in each character space
Clicking on the arrow under the letter and selecting an alternative from the drop-down menu
The character pad expands vertically when you get near the end of the panel if you are docked at the top of the screen.
Page 15 of 29

Using the on-screen keyboard. You can use the on-screen keyboard to type words, letters,
numbers, and characters from keyboard using your pen. For improved security and accuracy, you may want to enter passwords with the onscreen keyboard instead of handwritten text.
NOTE: When using the on-screen keyboard, be sure to place your cursor where you want to enter text in the text entry box before you begin. Whatever you tap will be immediately placed at the insertion point.
Customizing Select Tools and Options (the gear icon) then Options... from the TIP window to open the Options window at the General tab. You can customize many features in the TIP. Select one or more of the tabs and set the desired options.
Refer to the Help and the Tutorials that are provided as part of the Windows Operating System. Or refer to the Help information that is provided in the Options window.
In some software applications you can insert handwriting by tapping in the field or next to the blinking cursor in lieu of tapping the insert button on the TIP
Hands on exercise:
Practice with all three modes to determine your personal preference. Open Microsoft Word Pad or Word and practice entering text using all three modes of the TIP.
Hello, my name is [insert your name]. I am using the handwriting recognition feature of this tablet computer. I have to remember to write like I am back in school and write my letters clearly.

Power Management

It is best to place your tablet in a powered docking station when not in use. This will help keep the battery at full power during your work so you may not need to change the battery during your shift. However, if you power gets to 15-20% you should either change the battery or charge it.

Checking your battery power level

There are several ways to see how much battery power is left on your Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant. You can determine the remaining battery power by doing any of the following:
Reading battery power from the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant display
To check the power level while you are on battery power, move the pen over the Power Meter icon, shown here, in the system tray at the bottom-right corner of the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant display. Hovering over this icon shows the number of hours of battery power and the percentage of battery power remaining. (Also, the blue area on the battery icon, representing available power, changes to ½ blue and ½ silver then to almost all silver as the battery discharges.)
Reading battery power from the battery gauge (requires battery removal)
Ensure that AC power is plugged into the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant, or that the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant is turned off. Turn the system over so that you are looking at the back and remove the battery from the top of the tablet. The gauge is mounted on the backside of the standard battery. If the light is not completely green, do not use this battery but place back in the charging area to continue charging.
Charging the battery
When the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant (with a standard battery) is connected to AC power (plugged in), the battery automatically charges until it reaches full charge, even while the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant is being used. The Battery LED is the one in the middle with the picture of the battery to the right
Battery LED Status:
Steady green 100% charged
Amber charging
Amber slow blink = 10% battery remaining
Low power warning balloon displayed
Amber fast blink = 3% battery remaining; goes to
hibernate saves data
Important Points:
Battery life is approximately 3 and 1/2 hours dependent on use
Charge Time approximately 2 hours to fully recharge
Can I Hot Swap Batteries (i.e. change battery without logging off and logging back on)? Yes, as
long as power is being supplied to the tabled by either the docking station or with the power cord plugged directly into the C5
© 2008 Motion Computing, Inc. All Rights Reserved Rev. 4
Page 18 of 29
When the battery discharges to 10% a pop up balloon “low battery message” appears unless you are running in a Citrix environment. Ask your IT department if you are not sure if your organization uses Citrix. At 10% power, the battery LED slow blinks amber. If you ignore or do not see the warning, then when the Standard Battery reaches 3%, battery LED fast blinks amber and the system enters Hibernation mode
When you try to reboot or power on the tablet the green power LED will flash momentarily but the C5 will not reboot.
Attach the tablet to AC and power on
Tablet resumes from hibernate mode
A low power message may still be present
Tap on the x to close it

Best Practices: Extending Battery Life

Place your tablet in standby or hibernate mode when not using it during your work day
Charge your tablet using AC power cord or docking station
Fully charge your battery overnight
Reboot at least once a week
Removing and replacing the battery
Before you remove the battery, ensure that the C5 is plugged in, turned off, or in Hibernate or Standby mode.
To remove the battery
1. With the back of the unit facing you, slide and hold the battery latch.
2. Insert your finger under the finger grip and remove the battery from the battery compartment.

Using the Bar Code Reader

There is a free online video training tutorial for using the barcode scanner found at:
http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/training_C5_barcode.asp
Although the bar code reader emits a red light, it is not a laser but an imager that takes a picture of the bar code for the software to decode. Please note that the first time you use the bar code reader, it will take about 2-5 seconds for the software to open and then the bar code reader will activate.
Best Practice Recommendation: the bar code scanner default timing be increased to 30

3. When ready to scan, firmly press and release the barcode trigger button in one quick motion.
4. You will then hear a " has been initialized.
5. When the reader is ready to receive input you will hear a high-pitched "ta-da".
6. After the "ta-da" you will have ~10 seconds to perform a successful scan. If the scan is success you will hear an even higher pitched "ta-ting" sound. If a scan is not successful (e.g. unable read barcode within 10 seconds) you will hear a harsh failure sound (low tone "da-dong").
7. Hold the barcode 4-5” away from the reader to start. The longe needs to be so that the camera can see the entire bar codde.
8. If you do not get a successful scan after a couple of seconds, slowly move the barcode left and right, then up and down, then back and possibly forward (SL (e.g. back/forth, up/down and then tilt).

Caring for Your Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant

Disinfecting Procedures

Disinfecting of the tablet is recommended periodically in accordance with the institutional polices of surface and device safety and cleanliness. Motion has tested a variety of antimicrobial solvents and information on specific products is available upon request.
Per the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, “items that do not ordinarily touch the patient or touch only intact skin are not involved in disease transmission, and generally do not necessitate disinfection between uses on different patients (CDC, 2002 para. 7).” Using an EPA-approved low-level disinfectant when general cleaning is required is recommended.
If the tablet becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, a hospital-approved low-level disinfectant when used at recommended dilutions and contact times can be used to decontaminate spills of blood or other body fluids. Visibly soiled areas should first be cleaned and then disinfected, or a detergent disinfectant can be used. For disinfection, the pre-cleaned areas should be moistened with the appropriate disinfectant and allowed to air dry (CDC, 2000 para. 7 and 8).
If a tablet is used with patients who are infected or colonized with microorganisms judged by the infectio n prevention program to be of special or clinical or epidemiologic significance or with highly virulent microorganisms based on current state, regional, or national recommendations (such as Ebola or Lassa), then the tablet should be either dedicated to one patient or patient cohort or subjected to low-level cleaning between patient uses (CDC, 2002 para 8-10).
Tips
Clean the C5 with disinfecting cloths and wiping away any film they may leave – use a soft cleaning cloth not paper as paper contains wood pulp and may over time scratch the screen.
Use only the Motion pen on the display. Do not write on the surface with an ink pen or pencil, or any pointed or other object that could damage the display surface.
If you use alcohol prep pads or disinfecting products for cleaning the C5 surface and display screen a white haze residue will remain on the screen and it cannot be removed using paper based cloths. The blue Motion towel or any soft cloth will remove most of the residue. Your IT or support staff should be able provide these cloths.

Pen tip

Always store pen in the pen holder when not in use.
Do not store the pen vertically on the tip. Constant tip pressure can affect the pen-to-digitizer
screen interaction.
The pen contains sensitive electronics. Do not immerse it in liquids.

Microsoft Sticky Notes

You can use Microsoft® Sticky Notes the same way
that you use a paper sticky note—to retain names, phone numbers, simple maps with directions, and other information that you need to write quickly and keep easily available. You might want to use a separate one for each patient in your care.
For convenience and quick access, sticky notes are kept in a single stack that you can make "stick" to your desktop, are always visible and available. In addition, you can copy and paste sticky notes into other programs and import and export your stack of sticky notes.
Access via Start-> All Programs ->Tablet PC -> Sticky Notes
Hands on exercise:
Practice with these two programs.
