Changing the power plan
By default, the CL900 uses the Motion Optimized power plan which is designed specifically for Motion Computing tablets. It balances the need to save power while maximizing system performance. When the tablet senses no current activity, it goes into Power Saver mode automatically.
If necessary, you can change the Motion Optimized power plan from the Motion Dashboard.
To change the power plan
1.Open Motion Dashboard.
2.Tap Power.
3.Tap Power Options.
4.Select a power plan from the list of available plans.
NOTE: Setting the power plan to Power Saver reduces the tablet’s performance.
