SOME HINTS
A
BOUT WHAT
T
O DO FIRST
Congratulations on selecting a Motion Tablet PC! By now you have read the
Installation Poster, probably started your Tablet PC, and started 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 the tutorials.
• Check out the Using Your Motion Tablet PC page.
• See what’s on the Windows Help and Support Center page.
• Take the Microsoft Windows XP tour.
Each of these is briefly described in the following sections.
Calibrate the Pen
Your Digitizer Pen will function better and you’ll be more successful using
it if you calibrate it immediately and recalibrate it occasionally. For
information about calibrating the Pen, see the section “Calibrating the Pen”
in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.
Practice Using the Pen
The Motion 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 Tablet PC display without disturbing any open programs or dam-
aging the display surface.
• Watch 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 Tablet PC
display. You need these skills for writing recognition and 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 Pen function button, which activates right-
click functions.
For other hints about using the Pen, see the section “Using the Pen” in
Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

Microsoft Help and Resources Center Page
You can find additional information
about your Tablet PC and the
Microsoft Windows XP operating
system in the Microsoft Help and
Support Center. The Help and
Support Center is installed on your
Tablet PC. To access Help, select
Start, then Help and Support.
Did You Know Section
Whenever you open the Help and
Support Center while your Tablet PC is connected to the Internet, the “Did
You Know” section checks for updates from Microsoft and Motion
Computing, such as system-use hints, or notices from Motion Computing
about your Tablet PC.
Take a Tour of Windows XP
If this is your first experience with the
Windows XP operating system, this tour
is a good introduction. You can find this
by selecting Start, then Windows Help

CHASSIS AND
HARDTOP
COVER
The Motion Tablet PC chassis are constructed of magnesium alloy, which is
lightweight, durable, and easy to maintain. The Motion Hardtop Cover is
molded of a tough plastic. It snaps over the display, to protect it when the
Tablet PC is not in use or snaps onto the bottom of the Tablet PC for
convenient storage.
PEN The Motion Digitizer Pen is a sensitive, electronic data-entry device
designed in conjunction with the Tablet PC display. It contains no batteries
and requires no external power. To help prevent Pen loss attach it to the
built-in pen tether post on the chassis.
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, see
Chapter 4 of this User Guide.
MOTION
AC ADAPTER
The Motion AC Adapter has three components:
•AC power adapter (with a right-angled connector)
•Power cord
•AC mini-plug with folding prongs for travel
CAUTION: Use the appropriate 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
other device.
MOTION
BATTERIES
A standard configuration Motion Tablet PC ships with a 6-cell Lithium-ion
battery in the battery bay. Fully charged, a new 6-cell battery can power the
Tablet PC for 3-4 hours, depending on operating conditions.
Extra batteries are available from Motion Computing. Use only Motion
Lithium-ion batteries in your Motion Tablet PC.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, handle the battery with care. Do
not open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire or water. Keep the battery
in an ambient temperature of less than 140° F (60° C); for example,
don’t leave it in a closed car in hot weather for extended periods of time.
NOTE: For more information about the battery LEDs, see the section “Battery
Status LEDs” in this chapter; and for more information about battery care, see
Chapter 4 of this User Guide.
