Holding the C5 There are many ways to hold the C5 and you will need to find the ways that are most comfortable for you. A common way to hold the C5 when you are standing is in the crook of your arm as shown in the pictures below. The screen can also be rotated to landscape mode and held as demonstrated in the picture on the left. Please remember that not all software applications are designed to be viewed in landscape mode and may not work properly.
FAQ: My screen has gone black Your C5 has either entered a power saving or standby mode. 1. Use your pen and tap the screen or…. 2. Press a button Is your display back? 1. Look at the power button light 2. Is it blinking or off? • Blinking = Standby mode (very quick restart) • Off = power off (either full reboot or resume from hibernate) 3.
To change the brightness of the screen tap on Display menu on left side of dialog box Use the slider bar to move between Dim and Bright as needed Hands on exercise: • • Use the calibration feature Change the brightness of the screen manually Pen and Ink Introduction Digital pen basics • When you write with the pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere without disturbing any open programs or damaging the display. • Watch the cursor instead of the pen tip when you write.
To change the pen tips: Take the little silver metal C-shaped device that came with the pens and replacement tips. There is a notched area on one of the open end of the C. Use the C-shaped device like a pair of tweezers and grasp the end of the pen tip. Pull out the old pen tip and replace with a new one. NOTE: If your IT department did not provide you with replacement tips or the tip changing tool then contact your IT support group and request a new pen tip.
Click on the gray gear icon Tools and Options This will bring up the menu that will allow you to put the TIP at the top of the screen or the bottom by clicking on the “Dock at the Top of the Screen” or “Dock at the Bottom of the Screen.” If you dock the TIP at the top of the screen the TIP will automatically expand as you had more lines. Below is an example of how the TIP will expand when docked at top of screen.
Using the Writing Pad As you write, the software selects the best match for a word from its dictionary of words and displays it on-screen. Word recognition is based on shapes not actual words. You may write in block text or cursive script but avoid using all caps. The writing pad is the best mode for writing notes that are less than 2-3 sentences in length such as those you write during a shift assessment.
The writing and character pads expand to show Numbers (Num) or Symbols (Sym) toolbars, whose symbols are inserted immediately in the text entry area as you select them. Then, when you begin to hand write on the writing or character pad, the Num or Sym toolbar closes. Number pad can be useful for entering vital signs and I&O Erase by scratching through entire word: Must scratch back and forth in a straight line two or three times; not in circles.
Using the on-screen keyboard. You can use the on-screen keyboard to type words, letters, numbers, and characters from keyboard using your pen. For improved security and accuracy, you may want to enter passwords with the onscreen keyboard instead of handwritten text. NOTE: When using the on-screen keyboard, be sure to place your cursor where you want to enter text in the text entry box before you begin. Whatever you tap will be immediately placed at the insertion point.
Adding words to the TIP dictionary You can greatly improve handwriting recognition for words such as proper names, acronyms, technical terms, and abbreviations by adding them to the handwriting dictionary. To add a word to the handwriting dictionary 1. 2. 3. 4. Open Tablet PC Input Panel. To display the writing pad, tap the Writing Pad button. In the writing area, write the word that you want to add to the handwriting dictionary.
Power Management It is best to place your tablet in a powered docking station when not in use. This will help keep the battery at full power during your work so you may not need to change the battery during your shift. However, if you power gets to 15-20% you should either change the battery or charge it. Checking your battery power level There are several ways to see how much battery power is left on your Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant.
When the battery discharges to 10% a pop up balloon “low battery message” appears unless you are running in a Citrix environment. Ask your IT department if you are not sure if your organization uses Citrix. At 10% power, the battery LED slow blinks amber.
Using the Bar Code Reader There is a free online video training tutorial for using the barcode scanner found at: http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/training_C5_barcode.asp Although the bar code reader emits a red light, it is not a laser but an imager that takes a picture of the bar code for the software to decode. Please note that the first time you use the bar code reader, it will take about 2-5 seconds for the software to open and then the bar code reader will activate.
Holding the C5 for bar code scanning of medication There are several ways to hold the C5 when using the bar code reader. You should experiment to determine the best way for you. You may use different holds depending on the task you are performing. The following pictures show various ways to hold the C5.
Using the Camera The camera lens light is on the back of the C5 and there is a light source just above it. Please note that the first time you use the bar camera, it will take about 5-10 seconds for the software to open and then the camera will activate. You will see the following dialog box. Subsequent scans will not have the delay for the software to open unless the computer is restarted. 1. Press the Camera button to activate the camera and open the viewfinder. 2.
Using the RFID Reader To use the RFID reader 1. Hold the C5 by the handle with the right edge in front of you. 2. Aim the right edge of the C5 at the RFID tag. Ensure that the tag is less than 2 inches from the RFID antenna scan area. 3. Press and release the RFID button on the top of the C5. The RFID light will come on to indicate that the unit is scanning. The RFID light goes off and the unit beeps to indicate a successful scan. The ASCII and Hex data appears in the RFID Tag Data window.
Caring for Your Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant Disinfecting Procedures Disinfecting of the tablet is recommended periodically in accordance with the institutional polices of surface and device safety and cleanliness. Motion has tested a variety of antimicrobial solvents and information on specific products is available upon request.

Microsoft Sticky Notes You can use Microsoft® Sticky Notes the same way that you use a paper sticky note—to retain names, phone numbers, simple maps with directions, and other information that you need to write quickly and keep easily available. You might want to use a separate one for each patient in your care. For convenience and quick access, sticky notes are kept in a single stack that you can make "stick" to your desktop, are always visible and available.
Practice with facility’s software Logging on to your facility test system or with practice patients, enter the following data using the pen as your input device: Shift Assessment: • Blood pressure (BP) 164/80 • Pulse 92 • Respiratory rate 24 • Temp 38.2 C / 100.8 F • Pulse saturation 89% Respiratory: Crackles in LLQ posterior, decreased breath sounds in all fields. No pain on inspiration. Dry cough. Uses incentive spirometer every hour to 900ml.
