Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs

NOTE: We recommend that you create new power schemes instead of overwriting the default (Motion Computing Optimized) so you can reactivate it later.

 

Setting Up Max Battery Mode for Additional Power Savings

 

Max Battery mode prolongs the battery’s charge. For example, when

 

connected to AC power, this option turns the Tablet PC display off after 15

 

minutes, puts the system in Stand By after 20 minutes, and in Hibernate after

 

45 minutes of inactivity. Running on battery triggers other settings.

 

1.

Right-click on the Power/Battery icon in the System

 

 

Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of the dis-

 

 

play window. Tap Adjust Power Properties in the menu.

 

 

This opens Power Options Properties. Or, go to the Con-

 

 

trol Panel and select Power options.

 

2.

Under Power Schemes, tap the down arrow to display a list of

 

 

schemes.

 

3.

Select Max Battery as your power scheme.

 

4.

Tap apply.

CHARGING THE

When you connect the Tablet PC to AC power with the battery installed, the

BATTERY

system automatically charges the battery until it reaches full charge (100%).

 

The Battery Status LED glows steady amber while the battery is charging

 

and changes to steady green when charging is complete.

 

 

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, if the battery is overheated, wait

 

 

until it cools to room temperature before recharging or replacing it with

 

 

another battery.

 

To charge the battery at any time:

 

1.

Plug the AC power adapter into the Tablet PC, then into a wall outlet

 

 

or power strip. (Completely recharging the battery may take up to

 

 

two hours, although the battery reaches an 80% charge in much less

 

 

time.)

 

2.

To check the battery power, move the Pen over the

 

 

Power/Battery icon. This shows you the number of

 

 

hours of battery power and the percentage of battery

 

 

power left. (The blue area on the battery icon shrinks as

 

 

the battery runs down.)

 

3.

Or, turn the Tablet PC over to view the battery gauge on the bottom

 

 

of the Tablet PC.

 

4.

Press the button next to the battery gauge. If all five LEDs are green,

 

 

the battery is fully charged.

SWAPPING THE

You can swap the battery while the system is powered on, with or without

BATTERY

having the Tablet PC plugged into an AC power outlet.

 

1.

If the Tablet PC is running, save all active files.
