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 15.

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 include data and serve as the foundation for complementary security technologies. The core security features include a built-in fingerprint reader, password-protected BIOS, networking control, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2, and optional Computrace® Complete tracking software.
s several features that you can use to enhance the security of your
Chapter 1 Getting Started Optional features 7
TPM

These features are most commonly used by enterprises and enabled by the system administrator. To download and install TPM, go to go to http://
www.motioncomputing.com/us/support/downloads, select your Tablet PC model and
operating system, and then tap Show Results. Scroll down to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Software section and select the download link.
Computrace® Complete
The C5te/F5te Tablet PC can be purchased with the optional Computrace® Complete, which offers enhanced data protection, improved IT asset management, and managed computer theft recovery. With Computrace, organizations can track, manage, and secure their entire computer fleet—including remote and mobile devices—on or off the network.

Chapter 1 Getting Started Where to begin with your C5te/F5te 14

Connecting to mobile broadband

Set up mobile broadband with GPS
If you purchased your C5te/F5te with the optional mobile broadband module, you can connect to high-speed cellular networks worldwide. With the mobile broadband module and a data plan from one of several cellular network providers, you have full Internet access.
OTE: Before you can connect to a mobile broadband network, you must have an active account
N
with a cellular network provider. Some providers require a SIM card for mobile broadband access. If you’re not sure whether you need one, contact your mobile broadband provider.
The mobile broadband module includes a GPS receiver that provides the current location of your C5te/F5te. With the GPS receiver, you can use most GPS navigation and mapping applications.
To configure your mobile broadband settings:
1. Ensure there’s a SIM card in your Tablet PC and that it’s fully seated in the SIM card slot. (See Using the SIM card slot on page 51 for information about inserting a SIM card.)
2. Start Skylight™ by tapping the Skylight icon in the Windows 8.1 Apps screen
(Swipe upward in the Windows 8.1 Start screen to view the Apps screen.)
For more information about using Skylight, see Configure Mobile Broadband with GPS on page 44.

Getting familiar with your C5te/F5te Tablet PC

Once you’ve set up your C5te/F5te, take a few minutes to get familiar with your Tablet PC.
• Calibrate pen and touch. You can adjust the touch settings by calibrating the digitizer.
(The digitizer detects the position of the pen or your finger on the touchscreen display.)
• Use Motion Computing tools to configure basic Windows 8.1 settings, customize your
tablet according to your work style, and to access C5te/F5te documentation and the Motion Support and Tablet PC accessories websites. See Motion Tablet Center on page 20 and Know Your Motion Tablet on page 27.
• Open the handwriting panel and provide handwriting samples to improve handwriting
recognition. For more information, see Using the Windows 8.1 handwriting panel on page 29.
• Take photos or use the web camera. See Using the cameras on page 32.

When you take a break

When you leave your Tablet PC for a while, you can lock it to prevent unauthorized access by pressing the Security button and then by tapping Lock on the following screen. You can configure the Power button to shut down your Tablet PC, or to put it in Sleep or Hibernate mode to save power when you press the Power button.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Where to begin with your C5te/F5te 15
Lock and unlock the Tablet PC
To lock the Tablet PC, either:
• Press the security button on the right side of the tablet and select the Lock option
on the following screen.
• If a keyboard is attached, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
To unlock the tablet:
• Press the security button or Ctrl+Alt+Delete again.
Sleep mode
Place your tablet in Sleep mode when you go away for a short period of time. Sleep mode conserves battery power while you’re away and when you return, your desktop is the same as you left it. Sleep mode is sometimes called “standby.”
To put the tablet in Sleep mode:
• Save your files.
• Press and release the power button .
Note: While in Sleep mode, the power button flashes green.
To wake up the tablet from Sleep mode:
• Press and release the power button .
The tablet quickly resumes activity and your desktop is the same as you left it.
Hibernate mode
If you intend to leave your tablet for several hours or more, you can put the tablet in Hibernate mode. Like sleep, when you return from hibernate, your desktop is the same as you left it.
It takes longer to start up from Hibernate mode than sleep, but it consumes very little power, saves data to disk beforehand, and is still faster than starting your tablet after shutting it down.
To put the tablet in Hibernate mode:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and tap Search.
2. Type power in the search field, tap Settings, and then choose Change what the power buttons do from the search results.
3. You can select Hibernate for any of the Power and sleep button configuration options.
For more information on power options, see Power Settings on page 25.
