Chapter 3 Using your Tablet PC 25
Using Ethernet
You can use the integrated 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port (RJ-45) to connect to an
Ethernet network, high-speed modem, or another computer.
To connect to an Ethernet network or device, connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port ( ) on the left side of the Tablet PC.
Using the display
Use the procedures in this section to customize your display settings. You can adjust the
brightness level, rotate the display, and change the order in which the display rotates.
Adjusting the display brightness
Use this procedure to change the brightness of the display.
To adjust the display brightness
1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Display panel (page 20).
2. Set the Brightness slider to the appropriate level.
For optimal battery conservation and viewability, set the brightness scale to the mid-
point or slightly above.
3. Select one of the following:
• Fixed. Sets the display brightness to a constant level. Use the slider to adjust the
display to the desired brightness level. The ambient light sensor is not used with fixed
brightness.
• Dynamic. Uses the ambient light sensor to maintain an appropriate brightness level
for the current lighting conditions. Using dynamic brightness helps to reduce power
consumption while running on battery power.
Rotating the display
You can easily change the screen orientation to fit your current task. You may want to use
the portrait orientation for filling out forms or reading an e-book. At other times, you may
want a landscape orientation for Web browsing or sketching.
To rotate the display
• Press the Rotate ( ) button on the front of the tablet.
Note: If you change the screen orientation, you may need to recalibrate the tablet pen. See
“Calibrate the digitizer” on page 5.
