Getting Started

The Motion® C5 and Motion F5 are portable, semi-rugged pen-based computers designed for health care, manufacturing, utilities, warehousing, field service workers, or anyone else that needs the mobility and flexibility of a tablet computer.

The C5 and F5 integrate traditional computer features with digital ink, data capture, and speech recognition. The C5 and F5 differ from convertible and slate devices in the following ways:

• Minimize ports and connectors, creating a semi-sealed device that is easier to

clean and disinfect.

• Include several built-in data capture technologies—such as a RFID reader,

camera, and bar code scanner—that eliminate the need for external devices.

• Deliver an optimal balance of performance and portability.

If you have never used a pen-based computer, use the information in this section to get started. If you are already familiar with pen-based computers, skip to the next chapter to learn about the features of the C5 and F5.

Note: Because you typically use a pen instead of a mouse with tablet computers, we use the term tap instead of click in most situations.

Using the built-in microphones

You can use the built-in array microphones to record audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands. The two microphones are used at the same time to optimize sound detection for speech recognition and voice recording.

You can use the Speak Anywhere acoustics software to fine tune the built-in microphones to suit your environment. The software enables you to use the microphones in a variety of settings, including small or large groups, noisy environments, or for individual dictation or voice commands. The software improves the microphone reception by:

• Removing all sounds outside of the user-defined angle of acceptance.

• Minimizing background and ambient noise.

• Removing echo caused by the microphone picking up the speaker output (feedback).

Using speech recognition

You can use speech recognition to interact with your computer by voice. You can dictate documents and emails, or use voice commands to control programs.

• Dictation mode. With Dictation mode, the computer listens to everything you say and

converts your words to text. You can use dictation mode to enter text directly into any document or text box.

• Voice command mode. With Voice command mode, the computer listens for specific

words that correspond to a list of available voice commands. You can use commands to switch between programs, save documents, copy, paste, or undo.

You should periodically disinfect the system according to the institutional polices of surface and equipment safety and cleanliness. Motion has tested a variety of antimicrobial solvents and information on 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 are not 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 56.

If the system 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.

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 system 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 health care 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.

WAR NING: Do not use any solution that is corrosive or abrasive to clean or disinfect the

tablet PC.

If you are concerned whether a cleaner or disinfectant will harm your tablet PC, contact Motion Computing support.

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 system, unplug it, and remove the battery.

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

3. Gently rub the sensor surface with the cotton swab, slowly rotating the swab so a new, clean surface of the swab is constantly exposed to the sensor surface. Do not allow cleaner to drip or run down into the electronics around the sensor.

Do not use bleach, solvents, or abrasives. Do not spray or pour any liquid directly on the sensor.

4. After cleaning, gently rub the surfaces again with a clean, dry cotton swab. Use a clean swab each time you clean the sensor.

56 Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance

Pen

• Store the pen in the pen holder or in a case when not in use.

• Do not store the pen vertically on the tip. Constant pressure on the tip can affect the

pen-to-digitizer interaction.

• Change the pen tip regularly. See “Replacing pen tips” on page 57.

• Do not immerse the pen in liquid. It contains electronic components that could be

damaged.

• In certain environments, particles or debris can stick to the pen tip or the display. To

avoid damaging the display, clean it frequently with the provided cleaning cloth. Also, change pen tips regularly, especially if you drop the pen onto a rough surface that could damage the tip or embed debris in it. Damaged pen tips can scratch the display.

Replacing pen tips

Pen tips eventually wear down or get damaged, so the pen includes extra tips and a tool for replacing them.

With typical use, you should change the pen tip every 90 days. If you use the pen in a dirty environment, you should change the pen tip every 30 days. Particles can become embedded in the pen tip and scratch the display.

To replace the pen tip

1. Grasp the old tip with the replacement tool. Use the notch on the ring to grab the tip.

2. Pull the old tip out of the pen.

3. Insert a new tip, placing the flat end of the pen tip in first.

4. Apply slight pressure to push the tip in to place.

Ordering new pens

To order additional pens, go to the Motion Computing accessories page at https://

store.motioncomputing.com/.

Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance 57

Traveling with the system

Use the following tips when you travel with the system.

• Remove all accessories and cables. Remember to pack those you will need while

traveling, including at least one pen.

• Put the unit into a case to protect the display.

• Protect the pen by keeping it in the pen holder or in a case during travel.

• Pack the unit securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage, and keep it separate from

toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in checked luggage.

• Keep the system stable during travel. Secure it to prevent it from sliding around in

overhead bins and car trunks.

• Before extended use in the field or long trips away from AC power, adjust the power

properties to maximize battery conservation. You can adjust the power properties from Motion Dashboard. See “Using power management” on page 38.

• For international travel, obtain and use the appropriate adapters for your destination’s

electrical outlets. A current converter is not necessary.

• You may want to carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling

internationally.

• Consult your insurance company and credit card company to learn about emergency

travel assistance in case the system becomes lost or disabled.

Traveling by air

Use the following tips when traveling by air.

• Have a fully charged battery in case security personnel ask you to start the system.

• Have it hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner, but never carry it through the

metal detector.

• Turn off the system or place it in hibernation mode for takeoff and landing.

FAA Wireless air travel requirement

The FAA requires that you suspend wireless operations, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, before boarding a plane.

DANGER: Do not transport Li-ion batteries in checked baggage. The baggage hold can get

very hot, which can overheat the Li-ion battery and result in an explosion. You can take up to two spare batteries in carry-on luggage, in addition to the one in the unit. Transporting batteries in checked baggage or transporting more than two spare batteries is a violation of federal transportation regulations.
