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

Their differences are described below:•Stand By mode — Greatly reduces Tablet PC power consumption, but the Tablet runs on battery if not connected to AC power. The Tablet PC restarts from Stand By within a few seconds. Choose Stand By when you plan to return to work within a short time (a few minutes to a few hours) and want to conserve power.•Hibernate mode — Completely shuts down the Tablet PC to conserve power. It takes slightly longer to restart from Hibernate than from Stand By. Choose Hibernate when you plan to stop work for longer periods such as overnight and want to swap batteries.

Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCsMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 32IMPORTANT: You can put the Tablet PC in either Stand By or Hibernate to swap the battery. For more information about swapping the battery : • If you choose Stand By, the unit is designed to maintain your system for up to 30 seconds while the battery is swapped. However, you may have less than 30 seconds to swap the battery because of the settings and the programs that you have running. You should save any data before putting the unit in Stand By to swap the battery.• If you choose Hibernate, you have unlimited time to swap the battery. Hibernate saves the status of the Tablet PC to your Hard Disk Drive so that you can resume operations later.Accessing Stand By from the Motion DashboardOpen the Motion Dashboard and then tap the Stand By button.Setting Up Stand By or Hibernate from the Power ButtonWhen you slide the Power button on your Tablet PC, it is factory set to shut down.

Open the Motion Dashboard.2. On the Dashboard, under Power Management, tap the down arrow by the Pwr Button.3. From the drop-down menu, select Stand By or Hibernate, as desired.4. Select OK.Resuming Work from Stand By or HibernateTo resume Tablet PC operations from Stand By or Hibernate, briefly slide the Power button until the display comes on. Wait until the logon screen (or Windows desktop) is displayed and then tap your user name to resume operations.OPERATING THE MOTION M-SERIES DIGITIZER PENThe Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen contains internal electronics that make the Pen the only way you can write, tap, or input on the Tablet PC display. Finger-tapping or writing with a PDA stylus has no effect. The Pen contains a Pen function button, used for right-clicking (like a mouse) and a small opening near the end for attaching a Pen tether. The Pen also comes with replacement Pen tips and a replacement tool, shown here. For information about replacing the Pen tips, see “Replacing the Pen Tips” in this chapter.Notations for using Motion M-Series Pen, which are found throughout this User Guide, are described below:• Tap — Tap the Pen on the Tablet PC display, without pressing the func-tion button on the Pen

For more information about using the Pen function button, see the section “Writing with the Pen” in this chapter. • Press and hold — Press and hold the tip of the Pen to the display without pressing the Pen function button (equivalent to a mouse right-click)• Tap and drag — Tap and drag the Pen on the display• Select/Highlight — Tap on the item on the Tablet PC display with the Pen to activate the functionCalibrating the Pen to Increase Its AccuracyBe sure to calibrate your Pen the first time you start your Tablet PC, then at other times if the onscreen pointer doesn’t seem to line up with the Pen tip. Have each person using the Tablet PC set their own calibration; the Tablet PC stores Pen settings on a per-user basis. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the Pen and adjusts the Tablet PC display for different people.To open the calibration program:1. Open the Motion Dashboard and tap the Calibrate but-ton. 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 win-dow.NOTE: This icon may be hidden in the System Tray. Tap the System Tray left-arrow to open all hidden icons.2. Choose the Settings tab. 3. Tap Calibrate while holding the Pen in a normal writing manner.4. Carefully align the Pen point precisely in the crosshairs in the calibration dis-play for best performance.5. Rotate the Tablet PC display and repeat this for each orientation (0o, 90o, 180o, or 270o). Tips for Writing with the Pen The first time you pick up the Pen, you’ll notice it is lightweight (it has no internal battery), has an unusual tip, and contains an elongated button that we call the “function button.” The Pen is described below:• You can hold the Pen like any other writing pen, except that you should place your fingers on either side of the Pen function button so that you
Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCsMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 34don’t inadvertently press it as you write. Pressing the function button while tapping the Pen on the display is like right-clicking with a mouse and will launch pop-up menus.• Practice pressing the Pen function button with both your index finger and thumb to see which you prefer.• Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the Pen.• With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display to activate buttons and menus. • The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet PC will be in converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive hand-writing, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.• When you hold the Pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot) appears under the Pen tip on the display and moves with the Pen on the display. To select something on the display, line up this pointer before you touch (tap) the Pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the Tablet PC display reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch the Pen to the display.CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other pointed objects that could damage it. A comparison of the Pen and mouse operations is made below:Ending Accidental Right-ClicksIf you sometimes accidentally press the function button on the Pen, thus interrupting your writing tasks, you can simply deactivate this button function. You will still be able to activate right-click menus by pressing and holding the Pen to the display.1.

Appendix B Troubleshooting and SupportMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xiiiWhy doesn’t the Tablet PC or FlexDock have parallel, serial, or PS2 (mouse) ports? Microsoft Tablet PC certification requires the system to be completely Grab-and-Go—that is, to be able to dock with and undock from all accessories without putting the system into suspend or shutting it down. Connection through legacy ports (serial, parallel, PS2) often requires suspending or restarting the system, which prevents you from moving between desktop mode and mobile mode seamlessly in one docking/undocking step. You can purchase a USB-to-serial or USB-to-parallel adapter from Motion Computing or a Motion Computing reseller.How do I adjust the Tablet for left-handed use? Double-tap on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower-right corner of the display window, which opens the Settings window.

Appendix C SafetyMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xvAppendix CSafetyMotion Computing Tablet PCs are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain, and withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the User Guide as well as on the product labels.BASIC SAFETY WARNING: When using your Tablet PC and accessories, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, and electric shock. These include the following:• Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bathtub, washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.• Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.• The cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.USING YOUR TABLET PC • When setting up the Tablet PC for work, place it on a level surface or in the Motion M-Series Desktop Stand or FlexDock.• Before you clean your Tablet PC, it is best to turn it off, unplug it from its power source, and remove the battery.
Appendix C SafetyMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xvi• You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the display. One is supplied with your Tablet PC. You can use a window-type cleaning product on the display, but DO NOT spray it directly onto the display. Instead, spray the cloth and then wipe the display.• Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your Tablet PC. Doing so can cause personal injury and damage to the device by shorting out internal components.WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury, when working with accessories or replacing memory modules, always follow installation instructions closely. Do not attempt to service the Tablet PC yourself, except for those operations described in this User Guide, such as changing memory modules or replacing the battery.• When installing memory modules or other components, unplug the Tablet PC from its power source and remove the battery. Handle the memory module with care. Ground yourself by touching the Tablet PC before handling any components. Hold these components by the edge and not by the pins.• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.• Do not plug a modem cable (RJ-11) into a network (RJ-45) connector.• To completely power-down the Tablet PC, you must turn it off, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove the battery.• When you move your Tablet PC between environments with very different humidity and/or temperature ranges, condensation may form on or within the Tablet PC. To avoid damaging the Tablet PC, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using it.• When traveling, do not place the Tablet PC in an overhead storage compartment or other area where it could slide around, nor check it as baggage. • You can put your Tablet PC through an X-ray security machine, but never put your Tablet PC through a metal detector. • If you have the Tablet PC checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn it on.PERSONAL COMFORT• Help prevent injuries before they occur by taking frequent breaks to stretch and change position. Visit the Mayo Clinic website at www.mayoclinic.com for other suggestions.• Rest your hands and wrists frequently so they have time to recover from repetitive movements. • Use a wrist pad.
Appendix C SafetyMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xvii• The touch pad on the Motion M-Series Keyboard changes the way you use your hands and wrists, so work with it occasionally as a break from the keyboard or mouse.PRESSURE OR IMPACT DAMAGE• Do not apply heavy pressure to the Tablet PC or subject it to strong impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to components or otherwise cause malfunctions.• Do not drop your Tablet PC or subject it to other mechanical shocks.USING THE BATTERY• The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burns if mistreated. Dispose of used battery properly. Do not dispose of in fire. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or short external contacts.• To avoid injury, if the battery is overheated, wait until the battery cools to room temperature before recharging or replacing it.• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in burns.• Replace the Tablet PC battery only with a Motion battery or a Motion-approved equivalent.• Recycle your battery. Do not throw it in a fire. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or short external contacts.You should check with local authorities for disposal instructions.• Protect your Tablet PC chassis, display, connectors, and battery from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.AC ADAPTER • Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the Tablet PC or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.• Use only the AC adapter and power cord approved for use with this Tablet PC. Use of another type of AC adapter may cause personal injury or damage to the Tablet PC.• If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.MOTION M-SERIES MULTI-UNIT BATTERY CHARGER • Battery charging temperature: The ambient temperature of the battery being charged should be between 0oC to +50oC (+32oF to +122oF). Charging the battery outside this range may harm battery performance or reduce battery life.
Appendix C SafetyMotion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xviii• Power Input: Power the Charger only with a Motion M-Series AC Adapter (supplied with both the Battery Charger and the Tablet PC) or the Auto/Plane Adapter for the Motion M-Series (purchased separately). Failure to do so could damage the Charger and void the warranty.• User Serviceability: Do not disassemble the Charger. It contains no user-serviceable parts.• Liquids: Avoid spilling liquids on the Charger. Although the Charger is designed to be splash resistant, liquids spilled onto the Charger could short it. If liquids are accidentally spilled, let the Charger dry before use.(OPTIONAL) OPTICAL DISK DRIVE • The optional Optical Disk Drive is a Class 1 laser product that produces invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view it directly with optical instruments.
