Caring for the tablet battery
To maximize the performance of the battery, condition the battery once a month. To
condition it, run the tablet on battery power until the battery’s charge level drops below
20%. Then use AC power until it is fully charged.
You will receive a message if the tablet detects that the battery needs conditioning.
For more information about batteries, see Using the battery on page 43.
Traveling with your C5te/F5te Tablet PC
Use the following tips when you travel with your C5te/F5te Tablet PC:
• Put the Tablet PC in a case to protect the display. Motion Computing sells a variety of
cases for the C5te/F5te. You can purchase one at the Motion Computing Accessories
page.
• Store the pen in the pen holder located on the back side of the tablet handle.
• Pack the Tablet PC securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage and keep it separate
from toiletries, liquids, and food. Don’t pack it in checked luggage.
• Before extended use in the field or long trips away from AC power, adjust the power
properties to maximize battery conservation. See Changing the power plan on page 48.
• For international travel, use the appropriate adapters for your destination’s electrical
outlets. You don’t need to buy a voltage converter; the Motion AC adapter will
automatically adjust to different voltages.
• You may want to carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling
internationally.
• Consult your insurance and credit card companies to learn about emergency travel
assistance in case your Tablet PC becomes lost or disabled.
• Don’t carry your tablet through a metal detector.
• Turn off the Tablet PC or place it in Hibernation mode for airplane takeoff and landing.
