Chapter 1 Getting Started with Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs

SOME HINTS

ABOUT WHAT

TO DO FIRST

Congratulations! 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 Pen

Your 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 Pen

The 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.
