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 minutes. 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
Tip
Eraser display. The pen includes a userreplaceable 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.

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 2
Chapter 1 Getting Started with Your Tablet PC
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 without 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 function: 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 surface 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.

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 6
Chapter 1 Getting Started with Your Tablet PC
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 12.1inch 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 significantly 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 efficiency
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 Motion 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.

PEN AND INK
A significant difference between using a standard personal computer or a
laptop and your Tablet PC is the use of pen and ink in software applications.
Some software applications are designed specifically for pen and ink while
others may be “ink enabled” to improve their suitability with ink input. Be
aware that you need to turn on the ink in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel
to be able to write over what is being displayed. You can also use the TIP to
enter text directly.
Configuring Tablet and Pen Settings
The Tablet and Pen Settings window is accessed by tapping the Pen and
Button Options button in the Pen and Digitizer area of the Motion
Dashboard. Refer to “Tablet PC Buttons, Connectors, and Indicators” on
page 9 for a description of the Tablet PC buttons and their default behavior.
You can make selections to set up the following from the various subwindows of the Tablet and Pen Settings window:
• Settings Tab
• Select right-handed or left-handed to improve handwriting
recognition
• Set the menu location for right-handed or left-handed display

may be perfect for your work situation, but if not, the Tablet and Pen
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
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 20
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
of the pen and adjusts the input angle for each person who uses it. The
Tablet PC stores calibration data and settings on a per-user basis.
1. Open the Motion Dashboard and tap Calibrate Digitizer.
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 left-arrow to open all hidden icons.
2. Hold the pen naturally, angled as if you are writing with a pen, and
tap the pen point in the center of each of the four calibration
crosshairs as they appear. During calibration, try to position the
Tablet PC as close to the way you will use it as possible, whether
holding it in portrait or landscape orientation or using it in a FlexDock
for the LE Series or with a Convertible Keyboard. Changing the pen
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 damage 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
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 26
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 automatically adjust the display
brightness to changes in lighting.
Move slider to preferred
brightness level.
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 viewability. 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
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 27
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 projector 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 application(s) to shut it down. If you do leave an application open
on the extended display, you can disable it from the Windows

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.

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-colored ring and the sensor; you do not have to press hard.
• Rub your fingers together to stimulate the natural skin oils so your fingerprint 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 window-type cleaner (no bleach, solvents, or abrasives); then dry the sensor. 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 finger. 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 Fingerprint Capture.
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 41
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 enrollment 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 fingerprint image in the capture area. If the capture is unsuccessful, 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.
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 42
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 fingerprint. 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 recommends that you “Export” (backup or make a copy of) your user profile 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 configuration and any stored passwords and encryption keys.
12. Tap Done.
13. Tap Yes to log yourself on as a new user.

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.

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
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 51
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 canceling 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.
Tap here to activate
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 commands; use to quickly switch between programs, for saving documents,
etc.
NOTE: To turn off speech, tap the button for Dictation or Command (whichever you are using).
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 52
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 53
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 cannot 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 microphones. 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 display. 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 Recognition Enrollment message appears. You must adjust the microphone 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
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 54
Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet PC
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 microphones detect your voice while keeping the same relative angle 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 Support Center where you can search for topics about speech
recognition and training. Also available are the speech tutorials. 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 orientation (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 further 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 Motioninstalled audio may not work. If this happens, you must reinstall the
Motion-audio components. (The Motion audio components are the SigmaTel 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 considered completely secure.
4. Connect the devices. The first time a Bluetooth device is connected to

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 headset profile. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you
not use a Bluetooth wireless headset. Moreover, the Motion Speak Anywhere technology is designed to record clear audio, dictate notes, and
use voice commands without the need for any type of microphone headset.
• Should 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.
• Because Bluetooth is a relatively new technology, some cross-device
compatibility issues may occur. If you are having problems with interpretability of Bluetooth devices, contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth 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.
Using Infrared Wireless Connections
The infrared software is installed by default. You can access the Infrared
software by going to the Control Panel and tapping the Wireless Link icon.

Chapter 3 Care and Maintenance
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 below when caring for your Tablet PC and its components. 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 power connection, and remove the battery. Ground yourself 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.
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 69
Chapter 3 Care and Maintenance
• 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 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.
• Protect the display surface from unnecessary contact by using the Hardtop 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 particles or debris that can adhere to the Tablet PC display 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. Damaged pen tips can scratch the display. Consider using 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.
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 70
Chapter 3 Care and Maintenance
3. Insert a new tip.
4. Apply slight pressure to push it into place.
Ordering New Pens
To order additional pens, visit the Motion Computing website at
www.motioncomputing.com/accessories.

Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 72
Chapter 3 Care and Maintenance
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.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS
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.
• 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 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 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.
Motion Computing LE1600 Tablet PC User Guide 81
Appendix A Troubleshooting and Support
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 Graband-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.
