Chapter 2 Using your CL920 Motion Tablet Center 26
By default, the CL920 uses the Motion Optimized power plan that is designed specifically
for Motion Computing tablets. It balances the need to save power while maximizing tablet
performance. When the tablet senses no current activity, it goes into Power Saver mode
automatically.
To change the power plan:
• Tap the drop-down menu beside Choose a power plan: and select the power plan you
want to use.
N
OTE: Setting the power plan to Power Saver reduces your Tablet PC’s performance.
When you press and release the power button, it can go into one of the following modes:
Sleep—The tablet pauses all activity immediately and quickly resumes when awakened.
This saves power when you’re away from your tablet for a short time. However, you will lose
unsaved data if there’s a power failure.
Hibernate—The tablet saves the contents of memory to the hard drive and shuts down.
Pressing the power button restores the desktop exactly as you left it.
Shut down—The tablet shuts down. Pressing the power button reboots the tablet.
By default, the tablet goes to sleep when you press and release the power button. To wake
up your tablet, press and release the power button again. You can put the tablet in
Hibernate mode or shut it down completely from the Start menu.
You can change how the power button behaves when it is pressed either to hibernate or to
shut down the tablet. You can set the behavior individually, depending on whether the
tablet is running on battery or plugged in.
To change what happens when the power button is pressed:
• Tap the drop-down menu beside Power switch on battery: and select the action the
power button performs when your Tablet PC is on battery power.
• Tap the drop-down menu beside Power switch plugged in: and select the action the
power button performs when your Tablet PC is on battery power.
