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. You can

determine the remaining battery power by doing any of the

following:

• Reading battery power from the Motion C5 Mobile

Clinical Assistant display

To check the power level while you are 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 Mobile

Clinical Assistant display. Hovering over this icon shows the number of hours of battery

power and the percentage of battery power remaining. (Also, the blue area on the

battery icon, representing available power, changes to ½ blue and ½ silver then to

almost all silver as the battery discharges.)

• Reading battery power from the battery gauge (requires battery removal)

Ensure that AC power is plugged into the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant, or that the

Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant is turned off. Turn the system over so that you are

looking at the back and remove the battery from the top of the tablet. The gauge is mounted

on the backside of the standard battery. If the light is not completely green, do not use this

battery but place back in the charging area to continue charging.

Charging the battery

When the Motion C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant (with a standard battery) is connected to AC power

(plugged in), the battery automatically charges until it reaches full charge, even while the Motion C5

Mobile Clinical Assistant is being used. The Battery LED is the one in the middle with the picture of the

battery to the right

Battery LED Status:

• Steady green 100% charged

• Amber charging

• Amber slow blink = 10% battery remaining

• Low power warning balloon displayed

• Amber fast blink = 3% battery remaining; goes to

hibernate saves data

Important Points:

• Battery life is approximately 3 and 1/2 hours dependent on use

• Charge Time approximately 2 hours to fully recharge

• Can I Hot Swap Batteries (i.e. change battery without logging off and logging back on)? Yes, as

long as power is being supplied to the tabled by either the docking station or with the power cord

plugged directly into the C5
