Pen Usage

Think of the pen as your mouse; review the following pen information about
tapping the pen and the using the function button.

• Tap — Firmly tap the pen on the Tablet Client 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)

• Tap and drag — Tap and drag the pen on the display

• Select/Highlight — Tap on the item on the display to activate the func­tion: to select a line of text, tap, hold down the button, and drag the pen
across the text to highlight it

NOTE: For best results, we recommend that you calibrate
your pen before using it for the first time. For information
about this and other pen procedures, refer to “Calibrating Your
Digitizer Pen” on page 20.

For information about the ritePen software application, refer to “ritePen
Software Application” on page 20. The ritePen feature is a handwriting
recognition application that is included with the Tablet Client.

Helpful Hints for Using Pen and Ink

Here are some additional hints about working with the digital pen. For more
information about the pen and Tablet Client settings refer to “Configuring
Tablet and Pen Settings” on page 19.

• 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.

• Practice writing and learn how firmly and where to tap on the Tablet Cli­ent display. You need these skills for activating programs, menus, or
other Tablet Client functions.

• The pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and
when and how to press the function button on the pen, 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.

• Change pen tips every 90 days in a clean environment. Change pen tips
every 30 days if you use the pen in an environment with airborne or sur­face debris (sand, dust, etc.) or if you drop it on a rough surface. Any of
these or similar situations could damage the pen tip or embed debris in
it. You may not notice the damage or debris until it is too late. Damaged
pen tips could scratch the display.

HARDWARE OVERVIEW

Tablet Client Display

The Motion Tablet Client includes a 12.1-inch display with wide viewing
angles. The Tablet Client standard display incorporates the following
features:

• A highly-readable, liquid-crystal display (LCD)

• A protective layer that offers a firm writing surface and minimizes glare

• A digitizer panel underlying the display that enables handwritten entry
with a specially-designed Motion Digitizer Pen

• A wide viewing angle display that provides bright, clear viewing at up to
180 degrees, plus a high contrast ratio, fast response time, and authen­tic color at any angle

• A digitizer that responds to the Motion Digitizer Pen, but not to a plastic
stylus or to finger touches

• A display surface that lets you touch or rest your hand on it without
affecting open programs or data input

NOTE: For information about display care, see Chapter 3 of
this User Guide.

Tablet Client View AnywhereTM Display Option

The View Anywhere display option was designed to enhance indoor viewing
and to improve outdoor viewing while retaining all the standard display
features. The bright 12.1-inch XGA TFT display was developed from a
proprietary optical enhancement process based on technology initially
developed for high-end military aviation and marine applications. The View
Anywhere display includes all the features of the standard display plus the
following components:

• A protective layer that improves the sunlight contrast ratio and signifi­cantly reduces reflection and glare

• Improved sunlight contrast ratio, which enhances viewability at wide
viewing angles even further than the standard display

• Enhanced optical display technology with a significant reduction in
unwanted reflection and glare and improved light pass-through effi­ciency

Fingerprint Reader

The fingerprint reader enables you to scan your
fingerprint and associate it with passwords. This feature
offers a quick and convenient way to log on to your Tablet
Client, provides global password management, and
protects your Tablet Client data from unauthorized
access. The OmniPass Control Center software enables
configuration of the fingerprint reader. For more
information about setting up the fingerprint reader and
OmniPass settings, see “Fingerprint Reader and Motion
OmniPass” on page 33.

The Tablet Client has a dual-head video controller that can
“mirror” the Tablet Client display or extend it to a second
monitor or external device, such as a data projector. This
feature is disabled by default.

Available settings:

— Maintains a fixed brightness level on the display

that remains constant under varying light conditions

— Uses ALS to maintain a relative brightness level

on the display in varying light conditions

NOTE: For optimal battery life benefits and
viewability from ALS, set the brightness scale to
the mid-point or slightly above. If the setting is
higher than this, you lose some of the battery­saving benefits while gaining minimal improve­ment in viewability.

Motion Security Center

The Motion Security Center consolidates the tablet security applications
into one single security management dashboard. It provides the ability to
manage the security applications and settings from a single point. You can
also find quick links for help with various security-related tasks. Motion
Security Center provides access to the Motion OmniPass, Infineon TPM,
and Microsoft Security Center applications.

Client Applications

The Motion LE1600TC Tablet Client includes the following client options.

Citrix MetaFrame Access Program Neighborhood

Citrix is a server based function that is very similar to the Remote Desktop
Protocol. You cannot add application software to the Tablet Client. All
software applications are accessed through the Citrix MetaFrame Access
Program Neighborhood or the Remote Desktop Protocol. Your IT
department can tell you if there are applications that you can use with the
Citrix environment.

• To open the application, double-tap the Citrix ICA icon or select the
application from the Start > All Programs menu.

Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop is a server based desktop where you will find the
applications to run on your Tablet Client. Remote Desktop is also where
you can save the document and reports that you create and modify as part
of your job. You cannot add applications to your Tablet Client because you
do not have a hard drive. You can save some number of documents to the
Flash Drive but you are limited by the available space. Saving documents in
your defined location on the remote server is more secure.

• Microsoft Remote Desktop connection — To open the application, tap

Start, select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications
> Remote Desktop Connection, and then follow the window prompts.

Browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is a server based application that enables you to connect
to the Internet.

• To open the application, double-tap the Internet Explorer icon or
select the application from the Start > All Programs menu.

The Motion LE1600TC Tablet Client is designed for optimum use in a thin
client environment. The Tablet Client runs in a server-based computing
environment, in which the server runs applications that are used by the
Tablet Client. Data displayed by the Tablet Client is stored on the server
network, providing secure backup of the data.

The thin client environment provides better security than typical desktop
PCs because the thin clients are closed systems that do not allow software
and hardware installations without authorized system administrator
