SOME HINTS
ABOUT WHAT
TO DO FIRST
Congratulations! By now you should have read the Installation Poster,
started your Tablet PC, and initialized Windows XP. We recommend that you
now take the following steps:
NOTE: If you are reading this User Guide from our website, you may not have
set up nor used a Tablet PC before. When you can begin using your unit, you
must plug it into a standard USB keyboard and initialize Windows XP operating
system software. This procedure is described in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Calibrate the Pen
Practice using the Pen
Play Inkball
Go through tutorials.
Check out the Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300.
See what’s on the Windows Help and Support Center page.
Take the Microsoft Windows XP tour.
Each of these is briefly described in the following sections.
Calibrate the Pen
Your Pen will function better and you’ll be more successful using it
if you calibrate it immediately and recalibrate it as needed. For information
about calibrating the Pen, see the section “Calibrating the Pen” in Chapter 4
of this User Guide.
Practice Using the Pen
The Motion M-Series Pen is one of the unique components of the
Tablet PC, but it may take a little practice to use. Here are some hints:
•
•
•
•
When you write with the Pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere
on the display without disturbing any open programs or damaging the
durable display surface.
Watch the small dot, which is the Pen cursor, instead of the Pen tip when
you write. The cursor is a guide for your Pen movements.
Practice writing and learn how hard and where to tap on the display. You
need these skills for writing recognition and for tapping icons and menus
to activate functions.
The Pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and
when and how to click the function button to right-click like a mouse.
For other hints about using the Pen, see the section “Using the Pen” in
Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

Tablet PC Hardware
This chapter describes the Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs, their
components, LEDs, hardware, and accessories.
TABLET PC
DISPLAY AND
WRITING
SURFACES
All Motion Computing Tablet PC displays and writing surfaces combine
three key components:
•
•
•
A highly-readable, liquidcrystal display
An acrylic protective layer that provides
a hard writing surface, minimizes glare,
and improves viewability
Under the display, a digitizer panel that
allows on-screen keyboard data entry,
plus hand-written entry with a speciallydesigned Digitizer Pen
Unlike touchscreens and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), both Tablet PC
displays respond only to the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen. Neither Tablet
PC will not respond to a PDA stylus or to finger taps.
You can steady your hand on the display surface when you write. The
pressure of your hand won’t affect any open programs or data input.
NOTE: For more information about the care and maintenance of either Tablet PC
display and writing surface, see Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

SAVING POWER
USING
STAND BY
OR HIBERNATE
You can save Tablet PC power with either low-power Stand By or
Hibernation modes. Each preserves your Tablet PC settings so you can
resume work where you left off. Their differences are described below:
•
•
Stand By mode — Greatly reduces Tablet PC power consumption, but
the Tablet runs on battery if not connected to AC power. The Tablet PC
restarts from Stand By within a few seconds. Choose Stand By when you
plan to return to work within a few minutes or hours and want to conserve power
Hibernate mode — Completely shuts down the Tablet PC to conserve
power. It take slightly longer to restart from Hibernate than from Stand
By. Choose Hibernate when you plan to stop work for longer periods
such as overnight and for battery swapping.

Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs
Calibrating the Pen to Increase Its Accuracy
Be sure to calibrate your Pen the first time you start your Tablet PC, then at
other times if the onscreen pointer doesn’t seem to line up with the Pen tip.
Each person who uses the Tablet PC set their own calibration; the Tablet PC
stores these settings on a per-user basis. Calibration ensures the accuracy of
the Pen and adjusts the Tablet PC display for different people.
To open the calibration program:
1. Open the Motion Dashboard and tap the Calibrate button. Or double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the
System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of
the display window. This opens the Tablet and Pen Settings window.
NOTE: This icon may be hidden in the System Tray. Tap the System Tray
down-arrow to open all hidden icons.
2. Choose the Settings tab.
3. Tap Calibrate while holding the Pen in
a normal writing manner.
4. Carefully align the Pen point precisely
in the crosshairs in the calibration display for best performance.
5. Rotate the Tablet PC display and
repeat this for each orientation
(0o, 90o, 180o, or 270o).
Tips for Writing with the Pen
The first time you pick up the Pen, you’ll notice it is lightweight (it has no
internal battery), has an unusual tip, and contains an elongated button that
we call the “function button.” The Pen is described below:
•
•
•
•
•
•
You can hold the Pen like any other writing pen, except that you should
place your fingers on either side of the Pen function button so that you
don’t inadvertently press it as you write. Pressing the function button
while tapping the Pen on the display is like right-clicking with a mouse
and will launch pop-up menus.
Practice pressing the Pen function button with both your index finger and
thumb to see which you prefer.
Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the Pen.
With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display
to activate buttons and menus.
The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet
PC will be converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive handwriting, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.
When you hold the Pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot)
appears under the Pen tip on the display and moves with the Pen on the
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 28
Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs
display. To select something on the display, line up this pointer before
you touch (tap) the Pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the
Tablet PC display reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch
the Pen to the display.
CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other
pointed objects that could damage it.
A comparison of the Pen operations is made below:

Learning Pen Gestures to Increase Efficiency
You may want to learn some pen gestures so you can quickly perform
actions that otherwise require finding an icon or tapping a button:
NOTE: Gestures work primarily in the Tablet PC Input Panel and the Write Anywhere
feature. For more information about gestures, gesture symbols, and for handwriting
tips, open the Tablet PC Input Panel, the Tools menu, then select Help, Help Topics.
Under Tips and Tricks, select Tips for entering text. You will find a Gesture reference.
• To Open the Tablet PC Input Panel — Holding the tip of the pen
above the screen, quickly move the pointer back and forth several
times.
• To Backspace (erase the
previous character) — Quickly
draw a right-to-left line on the
display surface
• To Erase — Draw a short, wide
“Z” from left to right across
what you want to erase. (It may
take some practice to master
this gesture. ) The erase gesture
works in the Windows Journal,
Tablet PC Input Panel, and the
Write Anywhere (an option of

MAKING BEST
USE OF THE
TABLET PC
INPUT PANEL
The Tablet PC Input Panel keyboard and writing areas are key Tablet PC
features you will use constantly to:
•
•
•
•
Enter passwords
Type titles in Journal documents
Write or type E-mail messages
Perform other writing tasks
1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel by tapping the icon, shown here.
2. With another application active, such as a password window, a Journal document, or Outlook, write or type on the Input Panel window.
3. After a short delay, your handwriting will be automatically — the
default — sent to the active program.
HINTS FOR
WORKING WITH
THE INPUT
PANEL
Here are some hints about Tablet PC Input Panel:
• Disappearing text — If you don’t have an active application or the
Preview window open, your writing or typing will disappear from the
display in a few seconds. Open one of these to accept your text input.
• Tablet PCs without Microsoft Office — If you don’t have Microsoft
Office installed, these programs, which include Word, Outlook, Excel,
will not accept Input Panel text. However, other programs will,
including Journal, Wordpad, and Notepad.
• Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for
drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some
applications (such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, they
don’t transfer to the Text Preview window. If you draw from the Input
Panel with the Text Preview window open, Windows XP tries to
interpret the drawing as text, with unpredictable results.
• Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend you
use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this confidential
information where it is clearly visible.

CARING FOR
YOUR TABLET
PC AND ITS
ACCESSORIES
The Tablet PC display and chassis are designed to be very durable. This
section describes the proper care and maintenance that will keep them
working and in good condition for a long time.
CAUTION: Be sure to follow the guidelines listed below when caring for
your Tablet PC and its components. Improper use may damage the
Tablet PC and/or its components.
General Care
• Protect the Tablet PC from exposure to extreme temperatures, shock,
liquids, strong magnetic fields, and turbulent conditions.
• Do not open or disassemble the Tablet PC other than to replace
memory modules or to replace the battery. Always follow the
instructions included with these accessories when performing these
procedures.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the Tablet
PC, when replacing memory modules, turn off your Tablet PC, unplug
the AC power connection, and remove the battery. Ground yourself by
touching the Tablet PC. Avoid touching the pins and leads on the
memory and the internal circuitry of the Tablet PC. See the section
“Adding Memory” in this chapter for more information about replacing or
adding memory modules.
• When storing the Tablet PC for an extended period of time, unplug AC
power and remove the battery after discharging it partway.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC.
Caring for the Display Screen
• You can clean fingerprints and most marks from the display surface by
wiping it with the soft cloth (provided). If needed, you can spray this
cloth with a window-type cleaner. Never spray or pour liquids directly
onto the display surface itself. Never use an abrasive cleaner on the
display If liquid is spilled on the display, wipe it up immediately.
• Avoid using tissues or paper towels to clean the display surface. These
contain wood fibers that can scratch the display.
• Use only the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen on the display. Do not
write on the surface with an ink pen or pencil, any pointed or other
object that could damage the display surface.
• Do not place heavy objects on the display surface.
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 48
Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs
• Protect the display surface from unnecessary contact by using the Hard
Top cover or a portfolio when transporting the Tablet PC.
• Avoid exposing the display to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Replacing the Pen Tips
Normal use eventually wears down the Pen tip, so the Pen ships with extra
tips and a tool for replacing them.
To remove the pen tip:
1. Grasp the old tip with the silver ring of the replacement tool.
2. Pull the old tip out of the Pen.
3. Insert a new tip.
4. Apply slight pressure to set it in place.
Ordering New Pens
To order additional Pens, visit the Motion Computing website at
www.motioncomputing.com/accessories.
TRAVELING
WITH YOUR
TABLET PC
Some recommendations for traveling with your Tablet PC are listed below.
WARNING: FAA regulations require that you disable any wireless
connection when traveling by air. The LED on the front of the Tablet PC
provides a convenient way to check the status of your wireless
connection. If the LED is off, wireless communications are disabled.
Packing Your Tablet PC for Travel
• Remove all accessories and cables. Remember to pack those you’ll
need while traveling and don’t forget to pack at least one Motion
M-Series Digitizer Pen.
• Attach the Hard Top or slip the Tablet PC into its portfolio to protect
the display.
• Protect the Pen by keeping it in the Tablet PC pen holder or portfolio
case during travel.
• Pack the Tablet PC securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage,
and keep it separate from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in
checked luggage when you travel.
• Keep the Tablet PC stable during travel; secure it to prevent it from
sliding around in overhead bins and car trunks.
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 49
Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs
Traveling by Air
• Prepare for airport security by charging the battery in the event
Security asks you to start the Tablet PC.
• Have it hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner, but never
carry it through the metal detector.
• Either turn off or place the Tablet PC in hibernation for takeoff and
landing.
Requirements for Disabling Wireless
• The FAA requires that wireless operations be suspended before
boarding the plane. The easiest way to disable wireless operations is
by unchecking the Wireless box in the Motion Dashboard. The
wireless LED on the Tablet PC front panel is off when wireless
communications are disabled.
Other Travel Hints
• Before extended use in the field or long trips away from AC power,
adjust the Power properties to maximize battery conservation. Rightclick the Power/Battery icon in the System Tray, located in the lower
right-hand corner of the display window, to open the Power Options
Properties dialog box. Then adjust the options. For more information,
see the section “Changing the Default Power Scheme” in this chapter.
Or see the Performance and Maintenance section of the Help and
Support Center for details about power settings.
• 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 if your Tablet PC is lost or disabled.

COMPLIANCE
NOTICES
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any electromagnetic disturbance
that interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise degrades or limits the effective
performance of electronics or electrical equipment. These emissions can
potentially disrupt, degrade, or otherwise interfere with authorized
electronic emissions, which may include television, AM/FM broadcasts,
cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, and pagers.
The FCC Rules and Regulations have established Radio Frequency (RF)
emission limits to provide an interference-free RF spectrum. Many
electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental
to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules.
Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs and Motion M-Series
FlexDock have been designed and found to meet the regulatory agency
limits for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). EMC is the ability of
electronic devices, including computers, to function properly together in
the electronic environment. However, there is no guarantee that in a
specific installation it will not cause interference. Should this equipment
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
•
•
•
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the Tablet PC and the receiver.
Separate the Tablet PC and the receiver.
Plug the Tablet PC and receiver into different circuits.
You may also need to contact a radio/television technician for assistance.

FAQS
How long will the battery stay charged?
This can vary according how you’re using the Tablet PC, but a new, fully
charged standard Motion M-Series 6-cell battery can last 3-4 hours.
Can I make the battery charge last longer?
• Change to the Max Battery power scheme (right-click on the Power/
Battery icon in the System Tray--located in the lower-right corner of
the display window--and tap Adjust Power Properties; under Power
schemes, tap Max Battery). The Tablet PC comes with Motion
Computing Optimized as the default power-scheme.
• Dim the display brightness by opening Dashboard and moving the
Display Brightness slider. (You can also double-tap on the Tablet and
Pen Settings icon in the System Tray and choose the Display tab to get
this brightness slider.)
• Disconnect LAN/modem connections and disable wireless
communications when not in use (uncheck the Wireless
Communications checkbox in the Motion Dashboard)
• Turn off optional and unnecessary background programs and turn off
or unplug accessory equipment from the USB and IEEE 1394 ports
What does the Tablet PC need for use in another country?
Just an outlet adapter, which you can find in airports and travel stores.
The AC adapter will adjust automatically to different voltage when
plugged into the correct location-appropriate power adapter.
What’s the best way to clean the display screen?
You can spray a window-type cleaner onto a soft cloth, like the one
supplied with your Tablet PC, to clean the display screen. Do not spray
cleaners, spray/pour any liquid, nor wipe any abrasive cleaner on the
screen nor any surface of the Tablet PC. Do not use tissues or paper
towels to clean the screen. They contain wood fibers and may scratch
the surface.
Will scratches affect the display/digitizer’s performance?

Appendix B Troubleshooting and Support
Why doesn’t the Tablet PC or FlexDock have parallel, serial, or
PS2 (mouse) ports?
Microsoft Tablet PC certification requires the system to be completely
Grab-and-Go—that is, to be able to dock with and undock from all
accessories without putting the system into suspend or shutting it down.
Connection through legacy ports (serial, parallel, PS2) often requires
suspending or restarting the system, which prevents you from moving
between desktop mode and mobile mode seamlessly in one docking/
undocking step. You can purchase a USB-to-serial or USB-to-parallel
adapter from Motion Computing or a Motion Computing reseller.
How do I adjust the Tablet for left-handed use?
Double-tap on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray,
located in the lower-right corner of the display window, which opens the
Settings window. You can change handedness as well as the location of
the menus.

Appendix C Safety
Appendix
Safety
Motion Computing Tablet PCs are designed to optimize safety, minimize
strain, and withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions
should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the computer. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note
the cautions included in the text of the User Guide as well as on the
product labels.
BASIC SAFETY
WARNING: When using your Tablet PC and accessories, always follow
basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, and
electric shock. These include the following:
• Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bathtub,
washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
swimming pool.
• Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• The cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a
minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCCcompliant RJ-11 modular plug.
• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of
this product during an electrical storm.
USING YOUR
TABLET PC
• When setting up the Tablet PC for work, place it on a level surface or
in the Motion M-Series Desktop Stand or FlexDock.
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xv
Appendix C Safety
• Before you clean your Tablet PC, it is best to turn it off, unplug it from
its power source, and remove the battery.
• You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the display. One is supplied with
your Tablet PC. You can use a window-type cleaning product on the
display, but DO NOT spray it directly onto the display. Instead, spray
the cloth and then wipe the display.
• Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your Tablet PC.
Doing so can cause personal injury and damage to the device by
shorting out internal components.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury, when working with
accessories or replacing memory modules, always follow installation
instructions closely. Do not attempt to service the Tablet PC yourself, except
for those operations described in this User Guide, such as changing
memory modules or replacing the battery.
• When installing memory modules or other components, unplug the
Tablet PC from its power source and remove the battery. Handle the
memory module with care. Ground yourself by touching the Tablet PC
before handling any components. Hold these components by the edge
and not by the pins.
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector, not on the cable
itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid
bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make
sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
• To completely power-down the Tablet PC, you must turn it off,
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove the
battery.
• When you move your Tablet PC between environments with very
different humidity and/or temperature ranges, condensation may form
on or within the Tablet PC. To avoid damaging the Tablet PC, allow
sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using it.
• When traveling, do not place the Tablet PC in an overhead storage
compartment or other area where it could slide around, nor check it as
baggage.
• You can put your Tablet PC through an X-ray security machine, but
never put your Tablet PC through a metal detector.
• If you have the Tablet PC checked by hand, be sure to have a charged
battery available in case you are asked to turn it on.
PERSONAL
COMFORT
• Help prevent injuries before they occur by taking frequent breaks each
hour to stretch and change position. Visit the Mayo Clinic website at
www.mayoclinic.com for other suggestions.
• Rest your hands and wrists frequently so they have time to recover
from repetitive movements.
• Use a wrist pad.
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xvi
Appendix C Safety
• The touch pad on the Motion M-Series Keyboard changes the way you
use your hands and wrists, so work with it occasionally as a break
from the keyboard or mouse.
PRESSURE OR
IMPACT
DAMAGE
• Do not apply heavy pressure to the Tablet PC or subject it to strong
impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to components
or otherwise cause malfunctions.
• Do not drop your Tablet PC or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
USING THE
BATTERY
• The Motion M-Series 3-cell and 6-cell batteries contain the following
label: CAUTION: The battery used in this device may present a risk of
fire or chemical burns if mistreated. Dispose of used battery properly.
Do not dispose of in fire. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or short
external contacts.
• To avoid injury, if the battery is overheated, wait until the battery cools
to room temperature before recharging or replacing it.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where
metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery
terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in burns.
• Replace the Tablet PC battery only with a Motion battery or a Motionapproved equivalent.
• Dispose of a used battery properly. Do not throw it in a fire. Do not
disassemble, incinerate, or short external contacts.You should check
with local authorities for disposal instructions.
• Protect your Tablet PC, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and
overexposure to sunlight.
AC ADAPTER
• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the
floor, when you use it to run the Tablet PC or to charge the battery. Do
not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce
cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying
case.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that
the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
• Use only the AC adapter and power cord approved for use with this
Tablet PC. Use of another type of AC adapter may cause personal
injury or damage to the Tablet PC.
• If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the
total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cable
does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
MOTION MSERIES MULTIUNIT BATTERY
CHARGER
• Battery charging temperature: The ambient temperature of the battery
being charged should be between 0oC to +50oC (+32oF to +122oF).
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xvii
Appendix C Safety
Charging the battery outside this range may harm battery performance
or reduce battery life
• Power Input: Power the Charger only with a Motion M-Series AC
Adapter (supplied with both the Battery Charger and the Tablet PC) or
the Auto/Plane Adapter for the Motion M-Series (purchased
separately). Failure to do so could damage the Charger and void the
warranty.
• User Serviceability: Do not disassemble the Charger. It contains no
user-serviceable parts.
• Liquids: Avoid spilling liquids on the Charger. Although the Charger
is designed to be splash proof, liquids spilled onto the Charger could
short it. If liquids are accidentally spilled, let the Charger dry before
use.
(OPTIONAL)
OPTICAL DISK
DRIVE
• The optional Optical Disk Drive is a Class 1 laser product that
produces invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the
beam or view it directly with optical instruments.
