Chapter 1 Getting Started 1

Optional features

This section describes the optional features available when you purchase your C5te/F5te.

Mobile broadband with GPS

You can purchase a C5te/F5te Tablet PC with an optional embedded mobile broadband with GPS module that enables you to connect to a variety of mobile broadband networks for sending and receiving data wirelessly. You can typically use mobile broadband anywhere you can use your mobile phone. Mobile broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you can use it in more places than other wireless technologies.

The GPS receiver uses satellites to determine the current location, altitude, heading, and horizontal velocity of the C5te/F5te. The augmentation feature uses signals from geostationary satellites to improve on the reliability and accuracy of the signals from the GPS satellites. You don’t need a network connection or an account with a mobile broadband network carrier to use the GPS receiver. You can use it with your preferred mapping applications to find your current and desired locations.

For information on setting up mobile broadband, see Connecting to mobile broadband on page 10.

Discrete GPS with WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS (optional)

Your tablet may have an embedded discrete global positioning system (GPS) module that supports the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for improved accuracy in the United States; European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) for improved accuracy in Europe; and Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) for improved accuracy in Japan. The proper Augmentation system will be detected based on your location. No special selection is required.

Security

Your C5te/F5te includes several features that you can use to enhance the security of your data and serve as the foundation for complementary security technologies. The core security features include password-protected BIOS, networking control, optional Computrace® Complete tracking software, a built-in fingerprint reader, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2.

Chapter 1 Getting Started Optional features 2

Chapter 2 Using your C5te/F5te 15

Using pen and touch

With the C5te/F5te Tablet PC, you can use either your finger, a digitizer pen, or both to interact with the touchscreen display. You use your digitizer pen or your finger as you would use a mouse. For example, tapping twice is the same as double-clicking a mouse. Tapping and holding is the same as right-clicking a mouse to open context-sensitive menus.

Here are some common ways to perform tasks on a touchscreen:

• Tap—Select something

• Press and hold—Open a menu of options. This is equivalent to right-clicking a mouse to

display the right-click menu. Press and hold your finger until a square appears, then lift your finger to display the menu.

• Double-tap—Perform a double-click action

• Tap and drag—Drag and drop

• Pinch fingers together—Zoom out

• Spread fingers apart—Zoom in

OTE: If the tablet doesn’t respond when you tap with your finger, try using more area of your

fingertip. Unlike other types of touchscreens, the C5te/F5te capacitive touchscreen doesn’t respond to other input. For example, you can’t tap it with another object such as a credit card or if you’re wearing gloves.

If the pen doesn’t respond as accurately as you would like, you can make adjustments. For example, you can:

• Use the button on the pen to perform the right-click action

• Adjust how quickly the tablet responds when you double-tap the pen

• Adjust how quickly the tablet responds when you press and hold the pen button

How to use gestures with the multi-touch display

The C5te/F5te Tablet PC touchscreen display supports multi-touch, which allows you to directly manipulate items on-screen, such as to navigate websites and view photos. For example, you can use your fingers to scroll through lists, zoom in and out, rotate, and so on.

Changing to one-tap open for touch

With touch, you may want to change how you select and open items. By default, Windows folders are set up so that you tap once to select an item and double-tap to open it. For touchscreen displays, you can change the behavior to point to select an item and open an item with one tap instead of two.

To change folder options:

1. Swipe in from the right side of the screen and tap Search.

2. Type control in the search field and then choose Control Panel from the search results.

Cleaning in a healthcare environment

This section describes the cleaning procedures for the Tablet PC in a healthcare environment.

Disinfecting procedures

You should periodically disinfect the tablet according to the institutional polices of surface and equipment safety and cleanliness. Motion Computing has tested a variety of antimicrobial solvents and information about specific products is available upon request.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “items that do not ordinarily touch the patient or touch only intact skin aren’t involved in disease transmission, and

generally do not necessitate disinfection between uses on different patients”. recommend using an EPA-approved low-level disinfectant when general cleaning is required. For a list of cleaning solutions tested by Motion Computing, see Cleaning

solutions on page 59.

If the tablet becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, a hospital-approved low-level disinfectant that is tuberculocidal/virucidal when used at recommended dilutions and contact times can be used.

1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Sterilization or Disinfection of Medical Devices-General Principles.” 2002.

<www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/bp_sterilization_medDevices.html> (20 Sept. 2006).

Chapter 3 Caring for your C5te/F5te Cleaning in a healthcare environment 60

Visibly soiled areas should first be cleaned and then disinfected, or a detergent disinfectant can be used. For disinfection, the cleaned areas should be moistened with the appropriate

germicide and allowed to air-dry.

If the tablet is used with patients who are infected or colonized with vancomycin-resistant enterococci or other drug-resistant microorganisms judged by the infection control program (based on current state, regional, or national recommendations, to be of special or clinical or epidemiologic significance or with highly virulent microorganisms such as Ebola or Lassa), then the unit should be dedicated to one patient or patient cohort or subjected to

low-level cleaning between patient uses.

Training and documentation considerations

All users of tablet computers in the healthcare environment should be provided with training on proper cleaning procedures. Cleaning procedures should be added to the institution's policies and procedures for infection prevention.

Cleaning the fingerprint reader

Under normal circumstances, you should clean the fingerprint reader once a month, or whenever necessary.

To clean the fingerprint reader:

1. Shut down the tablet, unplug it, and remove the battery.

2. Lightly spray a cotton swab with household window cleaner.

affect the Bluetooth performance. This is most noticeable if:

– You try to transfer large amounts of data, such as with file transfers

– Several Bluetooth devices are operating in an office simultaneously

• Speech Recognition—Bluetooth audio has not been fully developed for speech

recognition. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you not use a Bluetooth wireless headset.

• Disconnection—Some Bluetooth devices will disconnect when they go into power-

saving mode. Most devices will automatically reconnect when they become active again.

• Incompatible drivers—If you attempt to install other wireless headset or other audio

drivers (such as Bluetooth or USB) over the Tablet PC audio drivers, a malfunction of the Tablet PC audio system may occur because the drivers may not be compatible.

• Interoperability—If you’re having issues with interoperability of Bluetooth devices,

contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth device and check its compatibility with the Bluetooth software installed on your Tablet PC.

• Security—Bluetooth devices use a passkey to create a secure connection between the

Tablet PC and the Bluetooth device. Although the passkey exchange helps to secure your data, Bluetooth wireless technology shouldn’t be considered completely secure.

System issues

I forgot my BIOS password and can’t access my tablet

• You can enter several incorrect passwords before the BIOS temporarily locks the system.

You can try again by restarting the system. If you still can’t log on, contact your System Administrator.

• The solid state drive (SSD) may be full or nearly full. You can free up space on your drive.

Swipe in from the right and tap Search. Type disk cleanup, tap Settings, and select Free up disk space by deleting unnecessary files.

• Unlike traditional hard drives, SSD drives, such the one installed in C5te/F5te, see no

performance benefit from traditional HDD defragmentation tools. Using these tools simply adds unnecessary wear to the SSD. It is recommended that you disable any automatic or scheduled defragmentation utilities on your tablet.

I want to make my tablet run faster

• Change the Power plan to High Performance by using the Power settings in the Motion

Tablet Center (see Power Settings on page 23).

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the battery charge last longer?

• By default, the power plan for the C5te/F5te is a balance between optimal performance

and a long battery charge. If you want the tablet to run longer between charges, use the

Power saver power plan. Open Motion Tablet Center, tap Power, and select Power Saver from the drop-down list next to Choose a power plan.

• Set the display to the dimmest level you’re comfortable with. Open Motion Tablet

Center, tap Power, tap Advanced, and adjust the brightness slider to a dimmer level.

• Turn off power for unused devices. To disable devices, open Motion Tablet Center, tap

Power, and turn off the devices you don’t need.

• Stop unnecessary background applications and processes.

How do I know if the tablet is charging when I plug it in to a power adapter?

• The battery gauge button on the front of the tablet is amber when the tablet is charging.

How do I check the battery charge when I’m running on the battery?

• The battery gauge on the front of the tablet shows the level of battery charge. The

number of lights indicate the level of charge where four green lights indicate a full charge and one green light indicates that about 20% charge is remaining. If the lights are flashing amber, the battery is low and requires immediate charging.
