Motion Computing F5te - Windows 7, C5te - Windows 7 Getting Started Guide
Getting Started with the Motion® C5te/F5te Tablet PC
Locking and unlocking
To lock and unlock your tablet,
press the Security button
on the right side of the
tablet PC. It’s equivalent to
pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Tip For information on using
the front buttons, see
page 2.
Sleep
Place your tablet PC in Sleep mode when you go away for a
short period of time to conserve battery power. When you return, the tablet PC quickly resumes activity and your desktop
is the same as you left it.
To put the tablet PC in Sleep mode, press and release the
power button . To wake up the tablet PC from Sleep
mode, press the power button again.
Tip The power button blinks when in Sleep mode.
Power on and off
Shut down your tablet PC from Windows®. Tap the Start menu
then tap Shut down. If Windows does not respond, force the
tablet to shut down by pressing the power button for
about ve seconds.
Using the ngerprint reader
The C5te/F5te comes with a ngerprint reader so that you
can log on to your tablet PC by scanning your ngerprint
instead of entering a password. This not only provides an
added level of security for your tablet PC, but it is also a fast
and convenient way to log on.
Using the pen
An important difference between traditional PCs and tablet
PCs is that you frequently use a digitizer pen instead of a
mouse and keyboard. A pen can feel more natural in your
hand than a mouse and you can use the pen while standing
or walking. The C5te/F5te pen has a pressure-sensitive tip,
eraser, and a function button. Pressing the function button
is equivalent to right-clicking a mouse.

Using touch (optional feature)
In addition to using a pen, your tablet PC may be equipped
with touch, which means you can use your ngers to select
items and open les, zoom in and out, scroll through browser
windows and documents, and more.
Touch works like a mouse. Tap to select an item and doubletap to open it.
Tip To open a right-click menu using touch, press your
nger on the display until a swirl appears, then lift
your nger and the shortcut menu appears.
Calibrate the pen and your nger so that they can be detect-
ed more accurately on the touchscreen display. You should
do so when you rst start using the tablet PC and when the
pointer doesn’t align with your pen or nger. To start the ap-
plication, open the Motion Dashboard Pen & Tablet category
(see page 4).
