and the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) LED intermittently flashes blue (these are

the top two LEDs on the upper right corner). Then Windows XP launches.

When you start the Tablet PC, the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005

Tutorials screen appears.

NOTE: If you do not want this screen to continue to appear,

check “Do not show me this again.” We recommend that

you complete the Microsoft tutorials, which take a few min-

utes. It you do not want to run the tutorials now, you can return

to them by tapping Start > Using Your Motion Tablet PC.

Using the Motion Digitizer Pen

The Motion Digitizer Pen contains

internal electronics that let you

enter digital ink on the Tablet PC

display. The pen is a sensitive,

electronic, data-entry device

designed in conjunction with the

display. The pen includes a user-

replaceable tip; the other end of

the pen serves as an eraser in applications that support an eraser. The pen

contains no batteries and requires no external power. The pen contains a

pen function button, used for right-clicking (like a mouse) and a small

opening at one end for attaching a pen tether cord. Using the pen tether

(provided) helps prevent pen loss; attach it to the built-in pen tether post on

the upper right edge of the Tablet PC. The pen also comes with replacement

pen tips and a replacement tool. For information about replacing the pen

tips, refer to the Care and Maintenance information in Chapter 3.

Pen Usage. Think of the pen as your mouse; review the following

information about how it works in conjunction with tapping, pressing, and the

function button.

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

• Press and hold — Press and hold the tip of the pen to the display with-

out pressing the pen function button (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 func-

tion: 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 and

Using Your Digital Pen” on page 20.

Helpful Hints: Pen and Ink

Here are some additional hints about working with the digital pen. For more

information about the pen and Tablet PC 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 PC

display. You need these skills for activating programs, menus, or other

Tablet PC 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 sur-

face 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.

Perform the following steps to familiarize yourself with the Tablet PC.

• Complete the Microsoft Tablet PC Tutorials

• Read the Motion Resources Page and review the User Guide

• Open the Motion Dashboard

• Go to the Microsoft Help and Resources Page for more information

Tablet PC 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 signifi-

cantly 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 effi-

ciency

Fingerprint Reader

The fingerprint reader lets you scan your fingerprint and

associate it with passwords. This feature offers a quick

and convenient way to log on to your Tablet PC, provides

global password management, and protects your Tablet

PC data from unauthorized access. The fingerprint reader

also serves as a scrolling device; you can move your

finger vertically (from top to bottom) to scroll the cursor

within the active application window.

Motion AC Adapter

The Motion AC Adapter has three components:

• AC power adapter

• Power cord

• AC mini-plug with folding prongs that can be

used instead of the long cord when traveling

CAUTION: Use the Motion AC Adapter with your Mo-

tion Tablet PC. This adapter should not be used to

power any other electronic devices. If you do so, you

may damage the accessory or the other device.

Motion Battery Pack

Each Motion Tablet PC ships with a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery mounted and

latched at the top edge of the Tablet PC. Extra batteries are available from

Motion Computing. An optional Extended Battery is available that provides

additional hours of continuous operation.

Settings window lets you set up your Tablet PC according to your unique

needs.

The following illustration is a sample Tablet and Pen Settings window - this

window includes a checkbox to enable the eraser - if your eraser is not

functioning properly, make sure this box is checked. Also, availability of the

eraser is application dependent; not all software applications allow the top of

the pen to be used as an eraser. Refer to the Microsoft Help application for

more information about these features (tap the HELP button).

Calibrating and Using Your Digital Pen

Be sure to calibrate your pen in both portrait and landscape orientations the

first time you start your Tablet PC, then again at other times if the cursor

does not seem to line up with the pen tip. Calibration ensures the accuracy

or display angles affects the calibration.

3. If you change the orientation, you may need to calibrate the pen

again.

When using the pen as a cursor, you can determine if you are in the right

place to select a menu item. For example, look at the position of the pointer

on the screen, not where the pen touches the display.

CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display

with ink pens or other sharp objects that could dam-

age it. Do not use markers that could also damage

the display.

AUDIO AND

VIDEO

The Audio and Video controls are in the Motion Dashboard in the Audio

and Display sections. You will find additional information regarding audio

settings and acceptance angles in the Speech section of this chapter, refer

to “Speech” on page 51.

Motion Dashboard Audio System Controls

The Motion Dashboard contains volume and directional controls for both

speech recognition and recording functions. You should perform this

procedure before you train your Tablet PC for speech recognition or voice

commands.

Speaker Volume. While the noise suppression software removes most

background noise, in some cases speaker playback (such as background

music or intermittent audio messages) can affect recording. In general,

reducing speaker volume will eliminate these extraneous noises.

Microphone Volume. The default volume setting for the microphones is at

roughly two-thirds of the sliding scale. When recording, dictating, or using

voice commands, you may need to adjust this setting until you achieve the

desired results.

Adjusting Display Settings and Screen Brightness

The Display settings on the Motion Dashboard are used to set the

brightness level of the LCD display. These settings are used in conjunction

with the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) to maintain a level of brightness and

contrast in all lighting conditions.

The built-in light sensor located on the Tablet PC front panel measures the

ambient light in the environment. The system then automatically balances

the brightness of the Tablet PC display in relation to the surroundings. You

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 27

can set brightness modes from the Motion Dashboard (note: you can also

turn the display off).

• Fixed — Sets the display brightness to a fixed level (ALS is off); use the

slider to adjust the display to the desired brightness level

• Dynamic — Sets the display so that the system adjusts the brightness to

the preferred level under changing lighting conditions while maintaining

viewability (ALS is on)

Setting “Dynamic” Display Brightness: ALS On. When you turn on the

ALS, the display will automatically brighten if you move from dim to bright

light (within the range supported by the hardware), or automatically dim if

you move to an environment with a lower level of lighting. You may not be

able to visibly detect the adjustment. Using ALS also helps to reduce power

consumption when possible.

1. Open the Motion

Dashboard.

2. Under Display, tap the radio

button beside Dynamic.

3. Move the slider until the

Tablet PC display is at the

preferred brightness level.

The system will then auto-

matically adjust the display

brightness to changes in lighting.

Setting “Fixed” Display Brightness: ALS Off.

1. Open the Motion Dashboard.

2. Under Display, tap the radio button beside Fixed.

3. Move the slider until the brightness is at the desired level. The

system will keep the same brightness level at all times; that is, it will

not adjust the display brightness to changes in lighting.

NOTE: In low-light settings, the “Fixed” brightness setting

may keep the display brighter than is needed for good view-

ability. Keeping the brightness always at the same level may

also use more battery power than necessary.

Turning the Display On and Off.

1. Open the Motion Dashboard.

2. Tap Off in the Brightness area of the Display settings.

NOTE: To turn the display back on, wave your pen over the

display or press any key on the keyboard. When the display

comes on, the Fixed/Dynamic setting remains selected as it

was.

Changing Display Orientation. An interesting and useful feature of the

Tablet PC is the ability to change the screen orientation from landscape to

portrait by pressing a button. Also, you can rotate the screen in 90-degree

increments. The Tablet PC flexibility in changing the screen orientation

allows you to set the view to suit your purpose. You may be using an

Move slider to preferred

brightness level.

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 28

application where it is more advantageous to have a portrait (vertical) view

of the screen. You may be filling out a form that is longer than the standard

screen view. At other times you may want to view a wider than normal page;

in this instance you would use landscape view. The Tablet PC provides

several ways to change the display orientation quickly:

• The quickest way to rotate the screen is to press the Rotate button (Hot

Key #2).

Be aware that changing the screen orientation may require you to

recalibrate the pen; refer to “Calibrating and Using Your Digital Pen” on

page 20. Use the pull-down menu to see the other orientation settings. You

can also change the sequence for rotating from one orientation to another.

Mirroring or Extending Your Display. The Tablet PC has a Dual Head

Video Controller that lets you run a presentation from your Tablet PC on an

external monitor or data projector while taking notes in ink. You can also

move applications onto a second monitor to create additional work space.

How To Connect the Tablet PC and a Monitor or Projector Example.

1. Plug the VGA monitor cable into the VGA port on the Tablet PC or

Motion FlexDock for the LE Series.

2. Connect the external monitor or data projector to a power outlet and

turn it on. The software recognizes the external monitor or data pro-

jector and searches for a driver.

3. If necessary, install the driver from the CD supplied by the monitor’s

manufacturer.

4. Set up the mirrored desktop or external display, using the steps in

the following sections.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to drag any application window back to

the Tablet PC display before shutting down the external data

projector or monitor. Otherwise, you cannot access the appli-

cation(s) to shut it down. If you do leave an application open

on the extended display, you can disable it from the Windows

hibernation. Selecting Hibernate has the following advantages over placing

your Tablet PC in the Stand By state:

• Hibernate saves the state of the desktop and applications

• Hibernate consumes no battery power

• When you return from the Hibernate state, you return to where you were

when you entered hibernation.

Checking Your Battery Power Level. There are several ways to see how

much battery power is left on your Tablet PC. You can determine the

remaining battery power by doing any of the following:

•Reading Battery Power from the Tablet PC Display

To check the power level while you are on battery power,

move the pen over the Power Meter icon, shown here, in

the system tray at the bottom-right corner of the Tablet PC

display. This displays the number of hours of battery power

and the percentage of battery power left. (Also, the blue

area on the battery icon gets smaller as the battery discharges.)

• Reading Battery Power from the Battery Gauge (requires battery

removal)

Ensure that AC power is plugged into the Tablet PC, or that the Tablet

PC is turned off. Turn the system over so that you are looking at the

back and remove the battery from the top of the tablet. The gauge is

mounted on the backside of the standard battery. Press the button and

Using Your Batteries

This section describes how to use your Tablet PC battery. The Standard

Battery is located at the top of the Tablet PC. There is an optional Extended

Battery that can be attached to the back of the Tablet PC. The upper center

area of the back of the system includes a small sliding panel that covers the

terminal connections for the Extended Battery.

Caution: Ensure that the sliding panel is open before attempting to

attach the Extended Battery. Otherwise, there may be damage to the

Extended Battery connector.

Both batteries are designed to be re-charged by using the AC adapter when

attached to the Tablet PC.

Charging the Battery. When you connect the Tablet PC to AC power with a

battery attached, the system automatically charges the battery until it

reaches full charge. If two batteries are attached, the primary battery

charges first, followed by the secondary battery. The charging sequence is

staggered to ensure that both batteries become fully charged at nearly the

same time. The standard battery charges to the 80% level, followed by the

Extended Battery charging to the 80% level. Then each battery charges for

a short interval until both reach 100%.

The Battery Status LED is on the Tablet PC flashes amber when the battery

is at a critically low level and changes to solid amber while charging. When

the battery is fully charged, the Battery Status LED is solid blue.

maintain your system for up to 30 seconds while you

swap the battery.

• However, you may have less than 30 seconds if you are

running a number of programs that drain power faster.

• You should save any data before putting the system in

Stand By to swap the battery.

• Choosing Hibernate gives you more time to swap the

battery. Hibernate saves the status of the Tablet PC to

your hard drive.

4. Tap Hibernate or Stand By. The Tablet PC opens a dialog box

stating that it is “preparing to standby or hibernate.”

5. Wait until the system shuts down. In Hibernate, all LEDs are off; in

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 41

• Vault management

• The vault is a storage area for passwords and dialogs that you have

associated with web sites and applications.

• Encrypting and decrypting files

• You can encrypt any file on your Tablet PC except for system files.

• Only an authenticated user can decrypt files that have been

encrypted.

Descriptions of these features may be found in the OmniPass Help section

(open Motion Dashboard then Motion Security Center > Motion

OmniPass and tap the Help icon in that window).

Helpful Hints: Successful Fingerprint Captures

• Be consistent. Hold your finger and scan at the same angle each time.

For example, if you enroll your finger with your hand open (or closed),

hold your hand this way each time you scan. If you enroll your thumb

while holding the edge of the Tablet PC while scanning, you need to

scan like this each time.

• The scanner is bi-directional; you can move your finger from right-to-left

or left-to-right.

• Read the prompts carefully and make sure you are waiting to be

prompted before each swipe.

• Swiping too fast or too slow can make a capture unsuccessful. Change

the swipe speed until you learn what speed works best.

• When scanning, press hard enough to fully contact both the nickel-col-

ored ring and the sensor; you do not have to press hard.

• Rub your fingers together to stimulate the natural skin oils so your fin-

gerprint is easier for the sensor to detect. Conversely, wipe your finger

off so nothing interferes with the scan.

• If you are repeatedly having trouble getting a good scan, you may need

to clean the sensor. First, power down the Tablet PC and remove the

battery. Then, clean the sensor using a cotton swab sprayed with a win-

dow-type cleaner (no bleach, solvents, or abrasives); then dry the sen-

sor. Do not spray, pour, or otherwise dispense any liquid directly on the

sensor.

• If you are having trouble enrolling a specific finger, enroll a different fin-

ger. Typically, you will get the best results by scanning an index finger,

thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger in that order.

Capturing a Fingerprint

1. Tap Motion Dashboard then Motion Security Center > Motion

OmniPass > Manage OmniPass Users and Settings > Add a new

user to OmniPass. This step enrolls a new user; you decide on the

authentication method (e.g., fingerprint, digital certificate, TPM, etc.).

2. Type in the User Name, Domain, and the Password (if you have one

set up) for this OmniPass account. (This may default to the user

name you logged on with and the password associated with it.)

3. Tap Next to take you to Selecting a Finger and Practicing Finger-

print Capture.

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 42

4. When the Choose Finger window appears, tap the dotted area

above the finger you want to enroll. A red arrow appears above the

selected finger.

IMPORTANT: To get a feel for finger position and swipe

speed, tap Practice. “Practice” takes you through all the en-

rollment steps and helps you get a successful fingerprint

scan. You are asked to scan the same finger three times.

5. After you have practiced, you will be asked to scan one more time

for verification. After the verification is successful, tap Next to scan

your finger again, this time for real (not practice).

6. Place the selected finger over the nickel-colored ring and slowly,

with moderate pressure, drag your finger across the sensor from

right-to-left or left-to-right. Make sure your entire fingerprint (i.e., your

fingertip, not your whole finger) touches both the nickel-colored ring

and the sensor surface.

NOTE: If the capture is successful, you will see a green fin-

gerprint image in the capture area. If the capture is unsuc-

cessful, an information message appears, such as “Scan too

slow/too fast...” and the green fingerprint will not appear.

Swipe your finger across the sensor again as many times as

required for a successful scan.

7. After the first scan is successful (and a green fingerprint image

appears), OmniPass prompts you to scan your fingerprint additional

times. Wait until the green fingerprint disappears from the display

and the fingerprint image area is blank before swiping your finger

again. After OmniPass successfully captures three fingerprints, the

Verify Fingerprint window appears. Swipe your finger one more

time to complete the enrollment.

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 43

When the messages “The selected finger has been enrolled in

OmniPass” and “Verification Successful!” and a green fingerprint

image appear, enrollment is successful and complete.

IMPORTANT: During the verification process, you may get

red fingerprint images or the message “Verification Failed.” If

this happens, tap the Back button and try again. You can have

as many tries as you need for enrollment and verification.

8. Tap Next. When you are asked if you would like to enroll a second

fingerprint, tap Yes.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that you enroll a second finger-

print. A finger injury could prevent authentication and block

access to your accounts.

9. Repeat Steps 6-8 to enroll a second fingerprint.

10. Tap Next. The Audio and Taskbar Settings window appears. You can

leave the defaults or change the settings, as desired.

11. Tap Next. The Congratulations window appears. OmniPass recom-

mends that you “Export” (backup or make a copy of) your user pro-

file so you can restore a lost or corrupted OmniPass configuration or

encryption keys. See the section “Exporting Your User Profile” on

page 46 for more information.

NOTE: You can export your profile at any time, but this may

not be the best time since you are a new user and your profile

has little information associated with it. You should backup

your profile later and on a routine basis to protect your config-

uration and any stored passwords and encryption keys.

12. Tap Done.

13. Tap Yes to log yourself on as a new user.

Chapter

Windows Security System Components Overview

Among the new security features, the Microsoft Windows Security Center

automatically sets up a Windows Firewall on your Tablet PC to block

unwanted access to your system over the internet and from other networks.

The Security Center system provides security alerts during startup and

messages while running Internet Explorer. These messages are a normal

part of the operating system. Microsoft provides information with these

alerts to help you decide what action to take.

In addition, you can set up the firewall to block all outside sources from

connecting to your system (recommended) or can make exceptions to allow

communications with a certain program. Within these settings, you can

change the scope to specify a set of computers for which this port or

program is unblocked.

SPEECH Introduction to Speech

The speech recognition capability in the Tablet PC provides two distinct

operations; there is a Voice Command mode and a Dictation mode. These

selections are visible as buttons in the Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP). The

following steps lead to success in setting up the speech feature.

• View the tutorial on speech recognition

• Set acceptance angle and the skew using the Motion Dashboard

• Adjust microphone volume

• Go through training

Dictation mode requires additional training and results in converting your

spoken words into “typewritten” text. The Voice Command and Dictation

modes are described in this section.

Motion Speak Anywhere Technology

The Motion Speak AnywhereTM audio system combines the Knowles®

Acoustics IntelliSonicTM software application with integrated microphones to

let you record audio, dictate notes, and use voice commands without the

need for a microphone headset. These capabilities make the Motion Tablet

PC with Speak Anywhere technology a valuable tool for mobile users in a

variety of work settings, including small or large groups, or for individual

dictation or voice commands.

• Integrated microphones, two of the three are used at one time — The

integrated microphones help optimize the sound capturing capabilities of

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 52

the Tablet PC for speech recognition and voice recording. The locations

of the microphones have been carefully designed to let the system

detect sound input from a specific angle, rejecting sounds from outside

that angle. There are three microphones; the software determines which

two of the three provide the best results.

• Knowles Acoustics IntelliSonic software — This software lets you direct

sounds coming from a specific direction to the microphones, while can-

celing interfering noise from other directions, thus minimizing the effects

of environmental noise and eliminating acoustic echo feedback. It is

based on the following audio technologies:

• Array Processing or “beam forming” software — Removes all sound

outside a software-defined “angle of acceptance”

• Noise Suppression — Removes background and ambient noise

• Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) — Removes echo caused by the

microphone picking up the system’s speaker output, thus preventing

feedback

Speech Recognition

Speech recognition lets you convert spoken words into typed text or into

voice commands, you can use speech to correct errors, format text, or

control programs. This is sometimes quicker than typing or writing text.

Before you can use speech recognition, you must first train the system for

your voice, pronunciation, speaking pace, and inflection. These adjustments

are made through the Speech utility on the TIP window. Speech recognition,

including dictation and voice commands is available through the TIP

window. Tap the Tools and Options icon in the TIP. If this is the first time

you have activated Speech, you will be asked to complete the Voice

Training application. The more training you do, the better the speech

recognition.

• Dictation mode — Selected by tapping Dictation. Changes everything

you say to text; use to enter text directly into any document or text box

when you do not want to use the pen or keyboard

• Voice command mode — Selected by tapping Command. Listens for

specific words that correspond to an existing list of available voice com-

mands; use to quickly switch between programs, for saving documents,

etc.

NOTE: To turn off speech, tap the button for Dictation or Com-

mand (whichever you are using).

Tap here to activate

speech recognition

Chapter

For additional information about setting up speech recognition, you can tap

Help (the Question mark in the circle) on the TIP window and search for

“speech.”

Using Motion Dashboard Directional Controls. The Microphone settings

in the Motion Dashboard include three radio buttons that define the

directional angle that is to be used for speech recording. The selected

setting determines the angle of acceptance. The following information is

intended to help you understand the differences between the narrow,

medium, and wide angles. However, the best reference will be your actual

experience in using the technology. There are three microphones, but only

two are used at one time. If you are in landscape mode, the microphones

along the bottom edge (as viewed in primary landscape mode) of the Tablet

PC are used. If you are in portrait mode, the two microphones along the

right side are used.

•Angle of acceptance. Three pre-defined “angles of acceptance” are

part of the Motion Speak Anywhere audio technology:

• Narrow Angle — Best setting for dictation, Voice over IP, “voice

noisy” environments; the microphones detect sound on a narrow

angle near the bottom center (landscape orientation) or top center

(portrait orientation) of the display. If you do not speak within the

angle of acceptance, e.g., if you turn your head while dictating or

change the angle of the Tablet PC, the sound will not be recorded.

• Medium Angle (default) — Best setting for a small group, conference

table, “voice quiet” environment; microphones detect at a wider

angle

• Wide Angle — Widest angle of acceptance. Try starting with this

setting (even for dictation) before using a more restricted angle.

Change to the Narrow or Medium Angle to eliminate more

background noise.

1 Narrow Angle; 2 Medium Angle; 3 Wide Angle; 4 Microphones (only two of

the three are shown in the illustration).

• Skew angle. The pre-set sound detection area is straight in front of

the system display. If you want the system to receive sound from

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 54

elsewhere, you can skew the receiving direction towards one or the

other microphone (keeping the same relative angle of acceptance.

Setting up the skew angle:

1. Open the Motion Dashboard.

2. Under Microphone, tap Narrow Angle or Medium Angle. (You can-

not calibrate wide angle.)

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 Tablet PC micro-

phones. This should take 20-40 seconds.

NOTE: In many cases, you will not need to calibrate the

microphone 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.

IMPORTANT: The audio system does not store calibrations.

If you change to another angle/position and then return to the

previous one, you must re-calibrate the audio system.

Enabling Speech Recognition Enrollment. It is necessary to train the

system to your voice before you can use the Speech Dictation and Voice

Command capabilities of the Tablet PC. The procedure is used to adjust the

microphones and train the Tablet PC for the characteristics of your voice.

The entire process takes about 10 minutes. It is advisable to move to a quiet

environment before starting this procedure.

1. Open the Motion Dashboard and make sure the speakers and

microphone are turned on (the default settings).

2. Check that the speaker volume and microphone sound levels on the

Motion Dashboard are appropriate for your setting.

3. Tap the TIP icon on the menu bar at the bottom of the Tablet PC dis-

play. The TIP appears.

4. Tap the down-arrow beside Tools to open the Tools options.

5. Tap Speech. The first time you access this function, a Speech Rec-

ognition Enrollment message appears. You must adjust the micro-

phone and train speech recognition before continuing. Until you

complete speech training, the speech button is inactive. This takes

about 10 minutes.

6. Tap Next and follow the Microphone Wizard.

NOTE: To improve speech recognition, run additional speech

training sessions.

Using Speech Recognition: Setting Up Dictation or Voice Commands.

Once you activate speech recognition, depending on your work setting

(single-person office or small or large meeting) and what you plan to do

(dictate, use voice commands), you may want to change the Motion

Dashboard microphone angle from Medium (the default) to either Narrow

Chapter

Using Your Motion Tablet PC

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 55

or Wide. You may then also want to calibrate the direction of the

microphones.

1. Open the Motion Dashboard and select the desired angle.

2. (Optional) To use either Medium or Narrow Angle to dictate from a

direction other than directly in front of the display, tap Calibrate and

read through the calibration script.

NOTE: Calibration will skew the angle at which the micro-

phones detect your voice while keeping the same relative an-

gle of acceptance.

3. To start the Speech recognizer, open the TIP window.

4. Select Dictation (to convert spoken words into typed text) or

Commands (to use your voice to enter commands, such as “Enter,”

“Save,” “Open”).

NOTE: For more information about using this feature and for

available voice commands, see the Windows Help and Sup-

port Center where you can search for topics about speech

recognition and training. Also available are the speech tutori-

als. To find the speech tutorials, select Start > Help; then

Support > Welcome to Tablet PC > Tablet PC Tutorials.

Helpful Hints: Dictating and Recording

• You may want to start recording or dictating from the Wide Angle

(Motion Dashboard setting) and change to a more-restricted angle

(Narrow or Medium) if too many outside sounds are recorded. The

advantage to the Wide Angle is that no sounds will be lost if you change

your location. The disadvantage is that outside sounds may be picked

up that interfere with the recording.

• You MUST recalibrate the microphones if you change from one orienta-

tion (landscape) to another (portrait). This is because the skew angle

changes and the sound will no longer be in the angle of acceptance. If

necessary, refer to the earlier information on skew angle.

• Even with the Narrow Angle setting, if a sound is loud enough and within

the angle of acceptance (no matter how distant), the sound will be

picked up by the microphones. The advantage of the Tablet PC is that it

detects fewer extraneous sounds than other audio systems. You can fur-

ther limit the detection of these outside sounds by turning down the

microphone volume and speaking louder; this reduces the microphones’

range and restricts their ability to detect extraneous sounds.

• The Tablet PC contains pre-installed audio components. If you install a

third-party audio device (such as USB or Bluetooth devices), the Motion-

installed audio may not work. If this happens, you must reinstall the

Motion-audio components. (The Motion audio components are the Sig-

maTel and Knowles Acoustics audio drivers.) After you install these, if

you still have problems recording, contact Motion Technical Support or

the Bluetooth or USB manufacturer’s technical support.

• To improve speech recognition, run additional speech training sessions.

Open the Windows Control Panel and select Speech to perform addi-

specific device. These are the four generic steps for connecting to a

Bluetooth device.

1. Discover

2. Search

3. Pair

4. Connect

1. Make the device discoverable. Making a Bluetooth device discoverable

makes it visible to other Bluetooth devices. Each Bluetooth device uses a

different method (pressing a button or key combination) to make it

discoverable; this is generally described in the device’s documentation.

2. Search for Bluetooth devices in range. This process will find every

Bluetooth device that is discoverable and available for connection within 33

feet (10 meters).

3. Pairing. Using a passkey creates a secure connection (pairing) between

the Tablet PC and Bluetooth device. This passkey helps prevent data from

being intercepted and interpreted by another device.

IMPORTANT: Though the passkey exchange helps to secure

your data, Bluetooth wireless technology should not be con-

sidered completely secure.

4. Connect the devices. The first time a Bluetooth device is connected to

the Tablet PC the drivers are loaded for that device. After this initial

connection, some Bluetooth devices may disconnect when they go into

power-saving mode. Most will automatically reconnect when they become

active again.

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 64

• Also with keyboards, mice, printers, etc., be sure that when you go

through the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard that you place a

checkmark beside “My device is set up and ready to be found.”

• For Tablet PCs transferring files, both Tablet PCs must turn on the

device transfer wizard, although only the receiving Tablet PC needs

to be discoverable. Tap the Bluetooth icon and then either “Send a

file” or “Receive a file.” When you do this, discovery is automatically

turned on for the receiving device.

• Also for Tablet PCs, you need to enable “Allow Bluetooth devices to

connect to this computer” to connect to keyboards, mice, printers,

etc. While this is the default, make sure that this setting has not been

changed. You find this by right-clicking the Bluetooth icon > Show

Bluetooth Devices > Options.

• When you open the Bluetooth Devices tab, only the connected

devices will be displayed. Other devices are only displayed when

you add a device using the Bluetooth Device Wizard.

• Check to see what Bluetooth devices are connected. Tap the

Bluetooth Devices icon > Open Bluetooth Settings. On the

Devices window, you should be able to see Bluetooth devices that

are currently connected.

If the Bluetooth card in the Tablet PC still fails to detect the Bluetooth device,

contact the device manufacturer or visit their website for assistance.

NOTE: A system reboot is not required.

The Bluetooth device is ready to use. If you look at the Blue-

tooth Settings window, the connected device or devices are

shown. An example of a Bluetooth Settings window with

both a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse is shown

native Bluetooth software.

Helpful Hints: Bluetooth Wireless

Motion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a

positive experience with this technology, as well as to ensure Bluetooth

inter-operability. In doing so, the following operating issues have been

found:

• When simultaneously operating Bluetooth wireless and 802.11 wireless,

interference between these wireless technologies impacts Bluetooth

performance. This is most noticeable when you try to transfer large

amounts of data, such as file transfers or printing large documents. This

may also be noticeable when you try to transfer large or small amounts

of data may if several Bluetooth devices are operating simultaneously in

an office.

• Bluetooth audio support is currently based on technology that has not

been fully developed for speech recognition. In addition, the Bluetooth

software in the Tablet PC does not have a pre-installed Bluetooth head-

set profile. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you

not use a Bluetooth wireless headset. Moreover, the Motion Speak Any-

where technology is designed to record clear audio, dictate notes, and

use voice commands without the need for any type of microphone head-

set.

• Should you attempt to install other wireless headset or other audio driv-

ers (such as Bluetooth or USB) over the Tablet PC audio drivers, a mal-

function of the Tablet PC audio system may occur because the drivers

may not be compatible.

• Because Bluetooth is a relatively new technology, some cross-device

compatibility issues may occur. If you are having problems with inter-

pretability of Bluetooth devices, contact the manufacturer of your Blue-

tooth device and check its compatibility with the Bluetooth software

installed on your Tablet PC.

• Do not install Bluetooth software from another manufacturer over the

Microsoft Bluetooth software installed on the Tablet PC. This will cause

malfunction of the Tablet PC Bluetooth system.

Chapter

Care and Maintenance

This chapter describes various care and maintenance procedures that you

should do on a routine basis with your Motion Tablet PC.

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. For general information about

care of the Tablet PC and its components and accessories, see the

Regulatory and Safety Guide packaged with your Tablet PC.

CAUTION: Be sure to follow the guidelines listed be-

low when caring for your Tablet PC and its compo-

nents. Improper use may damage the Tablet PC and/

or its components and void the warranty.

General Care

• Protect the Tablet PC from exposure to extreme temperatures, shock,

liquids, and strong magnetic fields.

• 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 pow-

er connection, and remove the battery. Ground your-

self by touching a grounded conductive surface,

such as a device or appliance with a grounded,

three-pronged plug. Avoid touching the pins and

leads on the memory and the internal circuitry of the

Tablet PC.

Chapter 3

Care and Maintenance

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 70

• When storing the Tablet PC for an extended period of time, unplug AC

power and remove the battery after discharging it part way.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC.

Caring for the Standard and View Anywhere Displays

• General cleaning of either display — Clean fingerprints and most marks

from the display surface by wiping it with the soft cloth (provided). 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.

• Cleaning the standard display — If needed, spray a soft cloth (not

directly on the display) with a window-type cleaner and wipe the

display.

• Cleaning the View Anywhere Display — If needed, clean with any

alcohol-based product recommended for use on anti-reflective

glass. Other cleaning products may leave a residue.

• Avoid using tissues or paper towels to clean the display surface. These

contain wood fibers that can scratch the display.

• Use only the Motion Digitizer Pen on the display. Do not write on the sur-

face 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.

• 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.

Caring for the Motion Digitizer Pen

• Always store the Motion Digitizer Pen in the Tablet PC pen bay or in the

portfolio when not in use.

• Do not store the pen vertically on the tip. Constant tip pressure can

affect the pen-to-digitizer interaction.

• Change the pen tip regularly. See the CAUTION and refer to “Replacing

the Pen Tips” on page 70.

• The pen contains sensitive electronics. Do not immerse it in liquids.

CAUTION: Certain environments may contain parti-

cles or debris that can adhere to the Tablet PC dis-

play or to the pen tip. To avoid damaging the display,

clean it frequently with the cleaning cloth, provided

with your system. Also, change pen tips regularly,

especially if you drop the pen onto a rough surface

that could damage the tip or embed debris in it. Dam-

aged pen tips can scratch the display. Consider us-

ing a Motion Slip Case to protect the display and the

pen.

Replacing the Pen Tips. Normal use eventually wears down the pen tip, so

the pen ships with extra tips and a small “tip tool” for replacing them.

1. Grasp the old tip with the silver ring of the tip replacement tool. Use

the notch on the ring to grab the tip.

2. Pull the old tip out of the pen.

Chapter 3

Care and Maintenance

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 71

3. Insert a new tip.

4. Apply slight pressure to push it into place.

SYSTEM

REPAIR/

RECOVERY

PROCEDURE

You may never need to perform this procedure, but in the event that your

system shows signs of instability or corruption, it may become necessary. In

most cases, once initiated, this procedure lets you repair the Tablet PC hard

disk drive and retain the original system data, applications, passwords, and

settings with no data loss.

In those cases where no repair is possible, this procedure overwrites your

system data. You can cancel the procedure before the recovery process

begins. In this case, you may want to contact your system administrator for

assistance.

1. If possible, back up your data files.

2. Turn off your Tablet PC.

3. Insert the Motion Tablet PC Operating System Recovery CD (Win-

dows XP Professional Service Pack 2) into the CD-ROM drive and

start the Tablet PC.

4. When prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

5. On the Set Up screen, select ENTER to set up Windows XP.

NOTE: Do not select R=Repair before you accept the End

User License Agreement (EULA). If you do, you must exit this

procedure, shut down and restart your Tablet PC, then accept

the EULA before proceeding.

6. Press F8 to accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.

7. When the next options appear, select from the following:

IMPORTANT: If Windows XP cannot repair your system, this

procedure automatically skips to the second option, ESC =

cancel the procedure. If you decide to reformat, select either Format

the partition using the NTFS File System or the NTFS File System

(Quick). If you decide not to reformat, select ESC to cancel the

procedure.

8. Continue following the on screen instructions.

9. After your operating system has been reinstalled, you will be

prompted to insert the Motion Drivers and Utilities Recovery CD.

• For a repaired system, this process completes quickly. If

your system notifies you to reboot, restart your system.

• For a reformatted system, this process takes some time

while the drivers and utilities are reinstalled. Once Win-

dows loads, your settings and drivers begin to install.

Your system may reboot several times during this pro-

cess. No action is required. At this point, you may need

to install additional software (such as Microsoft Office),

as appropriate, from the Motion Application CD. You

FREQUENTLY

ASKED

QUESTIONS

Can I make the battery charge last longer?

• Change to the Max Battery power scheme (right-click on the Power/Bat-

tery icon in the system tray—located in the lower-right corner of the dis-

play window—and tap Adjust Power Properties; under Power schemes,

tap Max Battery). The Tablet PC comes with Motion Computing Opti-

mized as the default power scheme.

• Turn on the Ambient Light Sensor on the Motion Dashboard. This will

dim the display automatically (when possible) and save battery power.

• Dim the display brightness by opening the Motion Dashboard and mov-

ing 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 communica-

tions when not in use (uncheck the Wireless checkboxes in the Motion

Dashboard).

• Turn off optional and unnecessary background programs and turn off or

unplug accessory equipment from the USB 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 voltages when plugged into

the correct location-appropriate power adapter.

What’s the best way to clean the standard display screen?

To clean the acrylic display screen, wipe it with a soft cloth (like the one

supplied) onto which you have sprayed a window-type cleaner. 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.

How should I clean the View Anywhere display screen?

To clean the View Anywhere display screen, wipe it with a soft cloth (like the

one supplied). If needed, clean with any alcohol-based product

recommended for use on anti-reflective glass. Other cleaning products may

leave a residue. 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?

Testing has not found appreciable loss of performance on a scratched

display.

How sensitive is the screen to various elements?

As with any computer or electronic device, the Tablet PC should be

protected from liquids, dirt and sand, other contaminants, and

extreme heat.

Appendix

Troubleshooting and Support

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 82

Will the Tablet PC work with any monitor or USB accessory, keyboard,

mouse, disk drive, etc?

As long as the device’s driver is available either in the Windows XP

operating system or from the manufacturer and it carries the Windows XP

logo or certification, it should work with your Tablet PC. For more

information, see www.microsoft.com/help.

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.

How do I adjust the Tablet PC 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 it for left- or right-handed use as well as change

the location of the menus. Then, make sure you recalibrate the pen.
