Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide xii
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 M-Series 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 Tray--located in the lower-right corner of
the display window--and 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 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
Communications checkbox 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 voltage when
plugged into the correct location-appropriate power adapter.
What’s the best way to clean the display screen?
You can spray a window-type cleaner onto a soft cloth, like the one
supplied with your Tablet PC, to clean the display screen. 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, 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.
