Barcode scanner tips • You’ll typically get the best scans if the lens is six to seven inches from the barcode. • If you’re having trouble scanning a barcode, use two hands to steady the tablet while you scan. Using the RFID reader Your Tablet PC may include an integrated 13.56 MHz RFID reader that you can use to retrieve information from RFID tags. Motion provides a sample application capable of reading these tags.
Using the battery The R12 includes a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery that fits into the back of the unit. Battery life varies by configuration, applications in use, utilized features, and operating conditions. Maximum battery capacity decreases with time and use. DANGER: To avoid personal injury, handle the battery with care. Don’t open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire or water. Keep the battery in an environment with ambient temperature of less than 104°F (40°C).
Removing and replacing the battery Before you remove the battery, ensure that the tablet is plugged in, turned off, or in Hibernate or Sleep mode. If you’re hot-swapping the battery (page 43), you can do so while the tablet is on and running on battery power. To remove the battery: 1. With the back of the unit facing you, hold and slide the battery latch to the left. 2. Insert your finger under the finger grip and lift up to remove the battery from the battery compartment.
To replace the battery: 1. Place the tabbed end of the battery into the battery compartment. 2. Press the battery down until it locks into place. Hot-swapping the battery Changing a tablet battery while the tablet is in use and running on battery power is called hot-swapping. You can hot-swap a battery only if you have a second charged battery to replace the battery that is low on power. While hot-swapping the battery, you will notice the following behaviors: • The tablet’s display gets dimmer.
Long-term battery storage Don’t store any batteries with a full charge; this can cause a permanent loss of charging capacity. For long-term storage, ensure that the charge level is between 20% and 40% (two contiguous LEDs illuminated), and remove the battery from the tablet. Check stored batteries every 90 days to determine the charge status. If only one LED or no LED is illuminated, recharge the batteries to a level between 20% and 40%. For optimum care, store the battery in a cool, dry environment.
Changing the power plan By default, the R12 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.
3. Under Power Switch on battery, select what you want to happen when the power switch is pressed while the tablet is running on battery. 4.

Using the discrete GPS receiver with WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS The discrete GPS receiver uses satellites to provide the current location, altitude, heading, and horizontal velocity of the tablet through a virtual communications port.
If you use the fingerprint reader, you can avoid having to enter passwords for your applications and websites. For example, instead of entering various passwords to your different website accounts, you can use your fingerprint to serve as a master password that works for all your accounts. Fingerprint reader tips • Be consistent. Hold your finger and scan at the same angle each time. For example, if you enroll your finger with your hand open, hold your hand this way each time you scan.

R12 Troubleshooting and FAQs 4 Motion Computing Tablet PCs are thoroughly tested for performance and quality, but occasionally issues can still occur. If you don’t find the information you’re looking for in this section, go to Motion Computing Support. NOTE: Enterprise users should contact their support organization for assistance with resolving tablet, application, or connectivity issues. Troubleshooting Use the information in this section to identify and resolve common issues.
The tablet won’t enter Hibernate mode • Hibernate mode might not be enabled. Enable hibernation by adjusting the power button behavior from Motion Dashboard.

Display issues When I connect to an external monitor, the cursor appears on the external monitor and not on my tablet • This is a known Windows® 7 issue. If you’ve connected multiple touch-enabled displays, Windows® may not assign touch to the correct display. To fix this issue, make sure a keyboard is attached to your tablet and then open Motion Dashboard. Tap Pen & Tablet, then tap Tablet PC Settings. Tap the Display tab, then tap Setup next to “Configure your pen and touch displays.
Touch or pen issues The Tablet PC doesn’t respond to the pen I’m using • Use only the R12-Series pen with the tablet. The Tablet PC doesn’t respond to other digitizer pens, even Motion Computing pens for other models. When I add an external display, touch input doesn’t appear on the desired display • Run touch setup on the desired display. Make sure a keyboard is attached to your tablet and then open Motion Dashboard. Tap Pen & Tablet, then tap Tablet PC Settings.
Ports and connectors issues The tablet doesn’t recognize the USB device • Windows® 7 may take a short time to recognize the USB device. Wait a few moments to see if Windows® recognizes the device. • The device may not be connected properly.
