Using touch

With the CL910 dual touchscreen display, you can use either your finger, a pen, or both to interact with the touchscreen display. Based on configuration, the CL910 includes capacitive 10-finger multi-touch capabilities. While it’s convenient to use your finger most of the time, a pen allows you more precise control, for example, when editing documents or drawing graphics.

With touchscreen displays, you use your finger or pen 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 shortcut (right-click) menus.

You can use touch to:

• Select menu items and open files.

• Use gestures to rotate and zoom in and out of pictures.

• Use flicks to navigate through browser windows and documents.

For information on using touch gestures and flicks, open Windows® Help and Support and search for “gestures” and “flicks.”

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 a shortcut (right-click) menu.

Chapter 2 Using your CL910 Using touch 19

Note: Press and hold your finger until a circle 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 in.

• Spread fingers apart—Zoom out.

• Flick—Scroll through a list or move quickly.

• Press and hold the pen’s function button (equivalent to a right-click on a mouse)—

Open a shortcut (right-click) menu.

OTE: If the tablet does not respond when you tap with your finger, try using more of your

fingertip. Unlike other types of touchscreens, the CL910 capacitive touchscreen does not respond to other input. For example, you can’t tap it with another object such as a credit card or when wearing gloves.

How to use gestures with the multiple-touch display

The CL910 touchscreen display supports multi-touch that 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. 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. From the Windows® Control Panel, tap Appearance and Personalization, Folder Options, then tap Specify single- or double-click to open.

2. Under Click items as follows, tap Single-click to open an item (point to select).

For more information, open Windows® Help and search for “folder options.”

Configuring touch input mode

You can determine how touch input is configured by setting the input mode. You can use:

Bluetooth wireless tips

Motion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a positive experience with this technology and to ensure Bluetooth interoperability. In doing so, we have found the following issues:

• Interference—If you are running Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time, interference can

affect the Bluetooth performance. This is most noticeable if:

– You try to transfer large amounts of data, such as 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 don’t use a Bluetooth wireless headset. A better solution is to use Motion Speak Anywhere, which can record clear audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without a microphone 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 are having problems 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 should not be considered completely secure.

• Disconnect any Ethernet connections that aren’t being used. Disable the wireless

adapter and Bluetooth adapter if you aren’t using them. Disconnect unnecessary USB devices. To disable the adapter, open Motion Dashboard, tap Wireless and clear the checkbox next to the adapters you aren’t using.

• Stop unnecessary background applications and processes.

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

• The battery gauge button on the left side of the tablet is amber when the tablet is

charging.

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

• From the Windows® notification area, tap the battery icon .

• When you press the battery gauge button on the left side of the Tablet PC, a battery

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

How do I clean the display screen?

• To clean the display screen, wipe it with a soft cloth (like the one supplied). Do not spray

cleaners, pour any liquid, or wipe any abrasive cleaner on the screen or any surface of the Tablet PC. Do not use tissues or paper towels to clean the screen. They contain wood fibers that may scratch the surface.

• Motion Computing maintains a list of tested cleaning solutions and chemical

disinfectants on its website.

Will scratches affect the performance of the display or digitizer?

• Our testing has not found appreciable loss of performance on a scratched display.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and FAQs Frequently asked questions 70

How sensitive is the screen to various elements?

• As with any computer or electronic device, you should protect the Tablet PC from liquids,

dirt and sand, other contaminants, and extreme heat.

Will any monitor, USB device, keyboard, or mouse work with the Tablet PC?

• If the device has a driver for Windows®, it will work with the Tablet PC. For best result, an

external monitor should be digital—and capable of connecting with the CL910 through the Micro-HDMI port. For a list of products that have been tested for Windows®, look for the Windows® Marketplace Tested Products page on the Microsoft® website.

How do I adjust the Tablet PC for left-handed use?

• From the Motion Dashboard, tap Pen and Tablet, then Tablet PC Settings, then the

Other tab. You can select left- or right-handed, which changes the location of the

menus.

How can I stop the display screen from rotating automatically?

• From the navigation area, tap the Motion icon then tap Options and clear

Automatic Display Rotation.

How do I calibrate my finger and pen for touch input?

• If the touchscreen doesn’t respond as expected or if it responds to unintentional input,

you can re-tune it. Open Motion Dashboard, then tap Pen & Tablet, tap Touch Settings, tap Touch Tuning, then Start. A calibration program begins. Do not touch the display during the calibration process.

What do I need to use the Tablet PC in another country?

• You will need a travel plug adapter, which you can find in airports and travel stores. You

do not need to buy a voltage converter; the Motion AC adapter will automatically adjust to different voltages.

Where can I learn more about my CL910?

• To learn more about the CL910, check out our training tutorials and knowledge base

articles. Motion Computing also offers corporate training classes.

Can I recycle my old computer?

• Yes. Motion Computing has a recycling program that allows free return of all Motion-

branded products and non-Motion-branded electronics with the purchase of a similar Motion tablet for processing and disposal in an environmentally safe manner. For details, go to Motion Computing recycling program.
