24 Chapter 3 Using the Motion C5Using the built-in microphonesYou can use the built-in 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).Setting up the angle of acceptanceThe angle of acceptance defines how the built-in microphones detect sounds. You can remove all sounds outside of a specified angle. When recording, dictating, or using voice commands, you may need to adjust this setting until you achieve the desired results.To set up the angle of acceptance1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Audio panel (page 16).2. Under Microphone, select one of the following:•Narrow angle. Configures the microphones to detect sound on a narrow angle near the bottom center of the display. Narrow is the best setting for dictation, Voice over IP, or “voice noisy” environments.•Medium angle. Configures the microphones to detect sound at a wider angle. Medium is the best setting for a small group, conference table, or “voice quiet” environment.•Wide angle. The microphones detect sound at the widest angle. If the microphones are detecting too much background noise, change to a narrower setting.If a sound is loud enough, the microphones will pick it up regardless of the angle of acceptance setting.You can limit the detection of these outside sounds by turning down the microphone level and speaking louder. This reduces the microphones’ range and restricts the capability to detect extraneous sounds.
Chapter 3 Using the Motion C5 25Setting up the skew angleThe default sound detection area is directly in front of the C5, but you can use the skew angle to offset the sound detection area toward one side or the other.To set up the skew angle1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Audio panel (page 16).2. Under Microphone, ensure that Narrow Angle or Medium Angle is selected. You cannot use a skew angle with the Wide angle setting.3. Move to where you want the microphone to detect your voice.4. Tap Calibrate. A block of text appears.5. Read the text aloud, speaking normally towards the microphones. This process takes about 30 seconds.In many cases, you will not need to calibrate the built-in microphones because the audio system filters out many unwanted sounds. If you are dictating in an office or recording during a meeting, the audio system may work well with no additional calibration.Note: The audio system does not store calibrations. If you change to another angle or position and then return to the previous one, you must recalibrate the audio system.Using speech recognitionYou can use speech recognition to interact with the Motion C5 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.Setting up speech recognitionBefore you can use speech recognition, you must configure the microphones and train the system for the characteristics of your voice. The entire process takes about 10 minutes. You should move to a quiet environment before starting this procedure.To set up speech recognition1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Audio panel (page 16).2.

Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance 47Cleaning in a health care environmentThis section describes the cleaning procedures for the Motion C5 in a health care environment.Disinfecting procedures You should periodically disinfect the C5 according to the institutional polices of surface and equipment safety and cleanliness.According to the Centers for Disease Control, “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”.1 We 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 48.If the C5 becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, chemical germicides that are EPA-approved for use as hospital disinfectants and that are tuberculocidal/virucidal when used at recommended dilutions and contact times can be used. Visibly soiled areas should first be cleaned and then chemically decontaminated. For disinfection, the cleaned areas should be moistened with the appropriate germicide and allowed to air dry.2If the C5 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 disinfection between patient uses.1Training and documentation considerationsAll users of portable 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 control.1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Sterilization or Disinfection of Medical Devices-General Principles.” 2002.<www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/bp_sterilization_medDevices.html> (20 Sept. 2006).2.
