Before you can begin using the Tablet PC, you must plug in a standard USB keyboard and initialize the Windows XP operating system software. This procedure is described in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.• Practice using the Pen and Pen function button.• Calibrate the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen• Play the Inkball game to hone your Pen skills.• Take the tutorials.• Review the Using Your Motion M1200 page.• Review the Windows Help and Support Center page.• Take the Microsoft Windows XP tour.Each of these is briefly described in the following sections.Practice Using Your Digitizer 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 use the Tablet PC, you can rest your hand or arm on the display. You won’t disturb any open programs or damage its durable surface through this type of use.• 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. • Learn how to hold the Pen (like any other writing tool) and when and how to click the function button to make the Pen work like a mouse. For other hints about using the Pen, see the section “Using the Pen” in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.Calibrate Your Digitizer PenYour Digitizer Pen will function better and you’ll be more successful using it if you calibrate it now.

Appendix B Troubleshooting and SupportMotion Computing M1200 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.
