Step 1: Plug in the power adapter
• Plug the power cord in to the power adapter. Insert the power cord into an outlet and
the power adapter plug into the power adapter port on the Tablet PC.
Power adapterPower cord
Step 2: Connect the cables
• If you want to connect your Tablet PC to a network, insert an Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet port.
To connect to a wireless network, see “Using Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g)” on page 46. To connect using docking stations and other accessories, refer to the documentation for that product.
Step 3: Turn on the Tablet PC
• Slide the power switch on.
As the Tablet PC starts, the power light comes on.
The first time Windows starts, the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Tutorials appear. If you do not want this screen to appear every time you start the computer, select Do not
show me this again. To run the tutorials later, select Start > All Programs > Tablet PC > Tablet PC Tutorials.
Chapter 1 Getting Started 5
Step 4: Calibrate the digitizer
With a Tablet PC, you frequently use a tablet pen instead of a mouse and keyboard for input. Use the pen to move the pointer around the screen, and tap the screen to click. Use Tablet PC Input Panel and handwriting recognition to enter text.
The digitizer detects the position of the pen on the display. You should calibrate the digitizer the first time you start the Tablet PC, and again whenever the pointer does not align with the pen tip.
To calibrate the digitizer
1. Press the Dashboard button ( ) to start Motion Dashboard.
You can use Motion Dashboard to configure your Tablet PC and to start commonly used tablet applications. See “Using Motion Dashboard” on page 20.
2. Under Pen & Tablet, tap Calibrate Digitizer.
3. Follow the instructions in the calibration program.
Note: If you are left-handed, see “How do I adjust the Tablet PC for left-handed use?” on page 68.
Step 5: Get familiar with your Tablet PC
Motion Computing offers free Web-based Quick Start Training that you can use to familiarize yourself with the features of your Tablet PC. If you are new to tablet computing, you can use the training to get started quickly. You can find the training at
http://training.motioncomputing.com.
You can also use the Windows Tablet PC tutorials to learn about the special capabilities of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition includes many features that other editions of Windows XP do not, such as pen support, digital ink input, and handwriting recognition.
To start the tutorials, select Start > All Programs > Tablet PC > Tablet PC Tutorials.
