Motion C5 Quick Start Guide for Clinicians
Checking Battery Power
To check the power level while on battery power, move the pen over the Power Meter
icon, shown here, in the system tray at the bottom right corner of the Motion C5
display. Hovering over this icon shows the number of hours of battery power and the
percentage of battery power remaining. The blue area on the battery icon changes to
½blue and ½ silver, then to almost all silver as the battery discharges. Note: Low battery level is also indicated by a FLASHING amber light on the top right hand side of the Motion C5.

Using the Barcode Scanner
A free online video training tutorial for using the barcode scanner can be found at:
http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/training_C5_barcode.asp
Although the barcode scanner emits a red light, it is not a laser, but an imager, that takes a picture of the barcode for the software to decode. Therefore, your movements while scanning with the C5, need to be slower. Please see the online video for demonstrations.
When scanning the patient wrist band, it is best to hold the C5 by the side rather than the handle. You can hold it with either your left or right hand and use the “B” Function Button on the front of the C5 to activate the scanner.
Using the Camera and Other Features: Please see the “Motion C5 End User Training Manual for Clinicians” for detailed instructions on using all the features of the C5. The most current manual can be found at: http://www.motioncomputing.com/support/support_documentation.asp
