FAQS

How long will the battery stay charged?

 

This can vary according how you’re using the Tablet PC, but a new, fully

 

charged standard Motion 6-cell battery can last 3-4 hours.

Can I make the battery charge last longer?

Change to the Max Battery power scheme (right-click on the Power/ Battery icon in the System Traylocated in the lower-right corner of the display windowand tap Adjust Power Properties; under Power schemes, tap Max Battery). The Tablet PC comes with Motion Computing Optimized as the default power scheme.

Dim the display brightness by opening the Motion Dashboard and moving the Display Brightness slider. (You can also double-tap on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray and choose the Display tab to get this brightness slider.)

Disconnect LAN/modem connections and disable wireless communications when not in use (uncheck the Wireless checkboxes in the Motion Dashboard).

Turn off optional and unnecessary background programs and turn off or unplug accessory equipment from the USB and IEEE 1394 ports.

What does the Tablet PC need for use in another country?

Just an outlet adapter, which you can find in airports and travel stores. The AC adapter will adjust automatically to different voltages when plugged into the correct location-appropriate power adapter.

What’s the best way to clean the display screen?

To clean the display screen, wipe it with a soft cloth (like the one supplied) onto which you have sprayed a window-type cleaner. Do not spray cleaners, spray/pour any liquid, nor wipe any abrasive cleaner on the screen nor any surface of the Tablet PC. Do not use tissues or paper towels to clean the screen. They contain wood fibers and may scratch the surface.

Will scratches affect the display/digitizer’s performance?

Testing has not found appreciable loss of performance on a scratched display.

How sensitive is the screen to sunlight and the elements?

As with any computer or electronic device, the Tablet PC should be protected from liquids, dirt and sand, other contaminants, sunlight, and extreme heat.

Will the Tablet PC work with any monitor or USB accessory keyboard, mouse, disk drive, etc?

As long as the device’s driver is available either in the Windows XP operating system or from the manufacturer and it carries the Windows XP logo or certification, it should work with your Tablet PC. For more information, see www.microsoft.com/help.
