Congratulations! By now you should have read the Installation Poster, started your Tablet PC, and initialized Windows XP. We recommend that you now take the following steps:

NOTE: If you are reading this User Guide from our website, you may not have set up nor used a Tablet PC before. When you begin using your unit, you may be required to attach a standard USB keyboard to initialize Windows XP operating system software. This procedure is described in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

• Calibrate the Pen.

• Practice using the Pen.

• Play Inkball.

• Go through tutorials.

• Check out the Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300.

• See what’s on the Windows Help and Support Center page.

• Take the Microsoft Windows XP tour.

Each of these is briefly described in the following sections.

Calibrate the Pen

Your Digitizer Pen will function better and you’ll be more successful using it if you calibrate it immediately and recalibrate it as needed. For information about calibrating the Pen, see the section “Calibrating the Pen” in Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

Practice Using the Pen

The Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen is one of the unique components of the

Tablet PC, but it may take a little practice to use. Here are some hints:

• When you write with the Pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere on the display without disturbing any open programs or damaging the durable display surface.

• Watch the small dot, which is the Pen cursor, instead of the Pen tip when you write. The cursor is a guide for your Pen movements.

• Practice writing and learn how hard and where to tap on the display. You need these skills for writing recognition and for tapping icons and menus to activate functions.

• The Pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and when and how to click the function button to right-click like a mouse.

For other hints about using the Pen, see the section “Using the Pen” in

Chapter 4 of this User Guide.



Play Inkball

Practice your pen skills on this game found by selecting Start,

All Programs, Games, Inkball.

Take the Tutorials

When you start your Tablet PC, several Tutorials are offered to help you learn about its various functions, such as the Windows Journal, Tablet

PC Input Panel, and Speech recognition.

The Tutorials are short, quick, and informative and we highly recommend them as a starting place to begin a successful Tablet PC experience.

NOTE: Microsoft Windows XP for Tablet PC offers several tutorials. One set appears each time you start the Tablet PC (unless you deactivate this option). Others can be found by selecting Start, Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300, or from Start, Get

Going with Tablet PC.

Motion Resources Page and Online User Guide

The link to the Motion M1200

and M1300 User Guide is provided on the Using Your

Motion M1200 and M1300 page, shown here. In addition to this link, other instructions for using the Pen, Dashboard, and other applications are included there.



Microsoft Help and Resources Center Page

You can find additional information about your Tablet PC and the

Microsoft Windows XP operating system in the Microsoft Help and

Support Center. The Help and

Support Center is installed on your

Tablet PC. To access Help, select

Start, then Help and Support.

Did You Know Section

Whenever you open the Help and

Support Center while your Tablet PC is connected to the Internet, the “Did

You Know” section checks for updates from Microsoft and Motion

Computing, such as system-use hints, or notices from Motion Computing about your Tablet PC.

Take a Tour of Windows XP

If this is your first experience with the

Windows XP operating system, this tour is a good introduction. You can find this by selecting Start, then Windows Help and Support Center, and finally What’s

New in Windows XP.

D ISPLAY AND

W RITING

S URFACES

This chapter describes the Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs, their components, LEDs, hardware, and accessories.

All Motion Computing Tablet PC displays and writing surfaces combine three key components:

• A highly-readable, liquidcrystal display

• An acrylic protective layer that provides a hard writing surface, minimizes glare, and improves viewability

• Under the display, a digitizer panel that allows on-screen keyboard data entry, plus hand-written entry with a speciallydesigned Digitizer Pen

Unlike touchscreens and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), both Tablet PC displays respond to the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen (not to a PDA stylus or to finger taps).

You can steady your hand on the display surface when you write. The pressure of your hand won’t affect any open programs or data input.

NOTE: For more information about the care and maintenance of the Tablet PC display and writing surface, see Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

A DAPTER

Both Tablet PC chassis are constructed of magnesium alloy, which is lightweight, durable, and easy to maintain. The Motion M-Series Hard Top

Cover is molded of a tough plastic. When snapped over the display, it protects it when the Tablet PC is not in use. It can be snapped onto the bottom of the Tablet PC for convenient storage.

The Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen is a sensitive, electronic data-entry device designed in conjunction with both Tablet PC display screens. It contains no batteries and requires no external power. To help prevent loss of your Pen, you can attach it to the built-in pen tether found on the chassis.

Tips for Writing with the Pen

The first time you pick up the Pen, you’ll notice it is lightweight (it has no internal battery), has an unusual tip, and contains an elongated button that we call the “function button.” The Pen is described below:

• You can hold the Pen like any other writing pen, except that you should place your fingers on either side of the Pen function button so that you


Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs don’t inadvertently press it as you write. Pressing the function button while tapping the Pen on the display is like right-clicking with a mouse and will launch pop-up menus.

• Practice pressing the Pen function button with both your index finger and thumb to see which you prefer.

• Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the Pen.

• With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display to activate buttons and menus.

• The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet

PC will be in converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive handwriting, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.

• When you hold the Pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot) appears under the Pen tip on the display and moves with the Pen on the display. To select something on the display, line up this pointer before you touch (tap) the Pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the

Tablet PC display reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch the Pen to the display.

CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other pointed objects that could damage it.

A comparison of the Pen and mouse operations is made below:

Ending Accidental Right-Clicks

If you sometimes accidentally press the function button on the

Pen, thus interrupting your writing tasks, you can simply deactivate this button function. You will still be able to activate right-click menus by pressing and holding the Pen to the display.

1. Double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of the display window. This opens Tablet and Pen Settings. (You can also access this through the

Windows Control panel.)



2. Select the Pen Options tab.

3. Uncheck the option Use pen button to right-click.

4. Tap Apply.

Adjusting Pen

Properties for Ease of Use

For convenience and ease of use, you may want to adjust the settings on the

Pen, such as which hand you write with or the menu location.

To access Pen properties:

1. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 above.

2. Select the Settings tab.

3. Change the Handedness or Menu location, as desired.

4. Tap Apply.

Learning Pen Gestures to Increase Efficiency

You may want to learn some pen gestures so you can quickly perform actions that otherwise require finding an icon or tapping a button:

NOTE: Gestures work primarily in the Tablet PC Input Panel and the Write Anywhere feature. For more information about gestures, gesture symbols, and for handwriting tips, open the Tablet PC Input Panel, the Tools menu, then select Help, Help Topics.

Under Tips and Tricks, select Tips for entering text. You will find a Gesture reference.

• To Open the Tablet PC Input Panel — Holding the tip of the pen above the screen, quickly move the pointer back and forth several times.

• To Backspace (erase the previous character) — Quickly draw a right-to-left line on the display surface

• To Erase — Draw a short, wide

“Z” from left to right across what you want to erase. (It may take some practice to master this gesture. ) The erase gesture works in the Windows Journal,

Tablet PC Input Panel, and the

Write Anywhere (an option of the Windows Journal).

To free work space and enlarge your writing area, you can optimize your

Tablet PC display window in these ways:

• To move the Tablet PC Input Panel anywhere — From Tools, uncheck Dock.

This lets you move the input panel anywhere on the display.

• To hide the Input Panel — Select the

(up arrow) on the Input Panel

• To enlarge the Preview window — From

Tools, tap Options, and then tap Two lines to give you an extra line to write on.

• To move the taskbar anywhere on the display — From Windows

Control Panel, tap Taskbar and Start Menu (Classic View) or doubleclick Appearance and themes (Category View) and then tap Taskbar and Start Menu. Uncheck the box beside Lock the taskbar. Tap OK and close Control Panel. Now place your pen inside the Taskbar and drag it to the sides or top of the display.

• To change the amount of delay to transfer writing, or the thickness of the ink — From Tools, select Options.

NOTE: For more information about Tablet PC Input Panel functions, see the Help menu under Tools on the Tablet PC Input Panel window.

The Tablet PC Input Panel keyboard and writing areas are key Tablet PC features you will use constantly to:

• Enter passwords

• Hand write or type entries in Journal documents

• Write or type E-mail messages

• Perform other writing tasks

1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel by tapping the icon, shown here.

2. With another application active, such as a password window, a Journal document, or Outlook, write or type on the Input Panel window.

3. By default, after a short delay, your handwriting will be automatically sent to the active program.

Here are some hints about the Tablet PC Input Panel:

• Disappearing text — If you don’t have an active application or the

Input Panel Preview window open, your writing or typing will disappear from the display in a few seconds. Open an application

(such as Microsoft Word) or the Preview window to accept your text.

• Tablet PCs without Microsoft Office Pen Extensions installed— If you you have Microsoft Office installed but not Pen Extensions, these programs (Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel) will not accept ink.



Pen Extensions are included with associated Motion software orders or are available free on the Microsoft website.

• However, other programs will accept text, including Journal,

Wordpad, and Notepad.

• Sending drawings — While probably not the best application for drawings, you can send them from the Input Panel to some applications (such as Wordpad or Microsoft Word). However, they don’t transfer to the Text Preview window. If you draw from the Input

Panel with the Text Preview window open, Windows XP tries to interpret the drawing as text, with unpredictable results.

• Entering passwords — For security and accuracy, we recommend you use the keyboard on the Input Panel instead of writing this confidential information where it is clearly visible and where handwriting recognition will try to make it into words.

Input Panel Text Preview Window

The Tablet PC Input Panel has a Text Preview window that lets you see a text transcription of what you have written before you send it to an active application:

“Sending as Ink” (Handwriting and Drawings) from the Input Panel

To transfer ink input to another application:

1. Open the Tablet PC Input Panel.

2. Close the Text Preview window by deselecting it in Tools.

3. Open another application, such as Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft

Word to write your input to. If you don’t open this second application, your input will disappear from the Tablet PC Input Panel display in a few seconds.

4. Tap the down arrow beside Send.

5. Enable Send as Ink. (If the application you have open doesn’t accept ink input, this option will be grayed out.)



6. Create the text or simple drawing you want to send as ink.

Disposing of Used Batteries

When a Tablet PC battery is no longer serviceable, dispose of it responsibly at a hazardous materials recycling center. Do not toss it in the trash where it will be sent to a landfill.

Battery and Power Management Hints

• Use AC power whenever available to lengthen the battery’s usable life.

Leave the battery in place when using AC power.

• Use AC power when installing software or writing to a CD and, for best performance, when using a DVD player.

• When using battery power, if you leave the Tablet PC unattended, place the system in Stand By or Hibernate mode.

• Keep in mind that the display, processor, PC cards, wireless cards, and accessory drives all draw on the battery, so adjust properties and disable unused accessories and PC cards when operating on battery power.

The Tablet PC display and chassis are designed to be very durable. This section describes the proper care and maintenance that will keep them working and in good condition for a long time.

CAUTION: Be sure to follow the guidelines listed below when caring for your Tablet PC and its components. Improper use may damage the

Tablet PC and/or its components.

General Care

• Protect the Tablet PC from exposure to extreme temperatures, shock, liquids, strong magnetic fields, and turbulent conditions.

• Do not open or disassemble the Tablet PC other than to replace memory modules or to replace the battery. Always follow the instructions included with these accessories when performing these procedures.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the Tablet

PC, when replacing memory modules, turn off your Tablet PC, unplug the AC power connection, and remove the battery. Ground yourself by touching a grounded conductive surface, such as a device or appliance with a grounded, three-pronged plug. Avoid touching the pins and leads on the memory and the internal circuitry of the Tablet PC. See the section “Adding Memory” in this chapter for more information about replacing or adding memory modules.

• When storing the Tablet PC for an extended period of time, unplug AC power and remove the battery after discharging it partway.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the Tablet PC.

Caring for the Display Screen

• You can clean fingerprints and most marks from the display surface by wiping it with the soft cloth (provided). If needed, you can spray this


T RAVELING

W ITH Y OUR

T ABLET PC

Chapter 4 Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs cloth with a window-type cleaner. Never spray or pour liquids directly onto the display surface itself. Never use an abrasive cleaner on the display. If liquid is spilled on the display, wipe it up immediately.

• Avoid using tissues or paper towels to clean the display surface. These contain wood fibers that can scratch the display.

• Use only the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen on the display. Do not write on the surface with an ink pen or pencil, any pointed or other object that could damage the display surface.

• Do not place heavy objects on the display surface.

• Protect the display surface from unnecessary contact by using the Hard

Top Cover or a portfolio when transporting the Tablet PC.

• Avoid exposing the display to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Caring for the Motion

M-Series Digitizer Pen

• Always store the Motion M-Series Digitizer Pen in the Tablet PC pen holder or in the portfolio when not in use.

• Store extra Pens in your portfolio. The Pen should not be stored vertically on the tip as constant tip pressure can affect the pen-todigitizer interaction.

• The Pen contains sensitive electronics. Do not immerse it in liquids.

Replacing the Pen Tips

Normal use eventually wears down the Pen tip, so the Pen ships with extra tips and a tool for replacing them.

To remove the pen tip:

1. Grasp the old tip with the silver ring of the replacement tool.

2. Pull the old tip out of the Pen.

3. Insert a new tip.

4. Apply slight pressure to set it in place.

Ordering New Pens

To order additional Pens, visit the Motion Computing website at www.motioncomputing.com/accessories.

Some recommendations for traveling with your Tablet PC are listed below.

WARNING: FAA regulations require that you disable any wireless connection when traveling by air. The LED on the front of the Tablet PC provides a convenient way to check the status of your wireless connection. If the LED is off, wireless communications are disabled.

Packing Your Tablet PC for Travel

• Remove all accessories and cables. Remember to pack those you’ll need while traveling and don’t forget to pack at least one Motion

M-Series Digitizer Pen.



• Attach the Hard Top or slip the Tablet PC into its portfolio to protect the display.

• Protect the Pen by keeping it in the Tablet PC pen holder or portfolio case during travel.

• Pack the Tablet PC securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage, and keep it separate from toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in checked luggage when you travel.

• Keep the Tablet PC stable during travel; secure it to prevent it from sliding around in overhead bins and car trunks.

Traveling by Air

• Prepare for airport security by charging the battery in the event

Security asks you to start the Tablet PC.

• Have it hand-inspected or sent through the X-ray scanner, but never carry it through the metal detector.

• Either turn off or place the Tablet PC in hibernation for takeoff and landing.

Requirements for Disabling Wireless

• The FAA requires that wireless operations be suspended before boarding the plane. The easiest way to disable wireless operations is by unchecking the Enablet 802.11 Wireless Radio box in the Motion

Dashboard. The wireless LED on the Tablet PC front panel is off when wireless communications are disabled.

Other Travel Hints

• Before extended use in the field or long trips away from AC power, adjust the Power properties to maximize battery conservation. Rightclick the Power/Battery icon in the System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of the display window, to open the Power Options

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any electromagnetic disturbance that interrupts, obstructs, or otherwise degrades or limits the effective performance of electronics or electrical equipment. These emissions can potentially disrupt, degrade, or otherwise interfere with authorized electronic emissions, which may include television, AM/FM broadcasts, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, and pagers.

The FCC Rules and Regulations have established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free RF spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules.

Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs and Motion M-Series

FlexDock have been designed and found to meet the regulatory agency limits for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). EMC is the ability of electronic devices, including computers, to function properly together in the electronic environment. However, there is no guarantee that in a specific installation it will not cause interference. Should this equipment cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna.

• Relocate the Tablet PC and the receiver.

• Separate the Tablet PC and the receiver.

• Plug the Tablet PC and receiver into different circuits.

You may also need to contact a radio/television technician for assistance.

FAQ S

Appendix


How long will the battery stay charged?

This can vary according how you’re using the Tablet PC, but a new, fully charged standard Motion M-Series 6-cell battery can last 3-4 hours.

Can I make the battery charge last longer?

• Change to the Max Battery power scheme (right-click on the Power/

Battery icon in the System Tray--located in the lower-right corner of the display window--and tap Adjust Power Properties; under Power schemes, tap Max Battery). The Tablet PC comes with Motion

Computing Optimized as the default power scheme.

• Dim the display brightness by opening the Motion Dashboard and moving the Display Brightness slider. (You can also double-tap on the

Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray and choose the

Display tab to get this brightness slider.)

• Disconnect LAN/modem connections and disable wireless communications when not in use (uncheck the Wireless

Communications checkbox in the Motion Dashboard).

• Turn off optional and unnecessary background programs and turn off or unplug accessory equipment from the USB and IEEE 1394 ports.

What does the Tablet PC need for use in another country?

Just an outlet adapter, which you can find in airports and travel stores.

The AC adapter will adjust automatically to different voltage when plugged into the correct location-appropriate power adapter.

What’s the best way to clean the display screen?

To clean the display screen, spray a window-type cleaner onto a soft cloth, like the one supplied with your Tablet PC, then wipe the display.

Do not spray cleaners, spray/pour any liquid, nor wipe any abrasive cleaner on the screen nor any surface of the Tablet PC. Do not use tissues or paper towels to clean the screen. They contain wood fibers and may scratch the surface.

Will scratches affect the display/digitizer’s performance?

Testing has not found appreciable loss of performance on a scratched display.

How sensitive is the screen to sunlight and the elements?

As with any computer or electronic device, the Tablet PC should be protected from liquids, dirt and sand, other contaminants, sunlight, and extreme heat.

Will the Tablet PC work with any monitor or USB accessory keyboard, mouse,

disk drive, etc?

As long as the device’s driver is available either in the Windows XP operating system or from the manufacturer and it carries the Windows

XP logo or certification, it should work with your Tablet PC. For more information, see www.microsoft.com/help.

Why doesn’t the Tablet PC or FlexDock have parallel, serial, or

PS2 (mouse) ports?

Microsoft Tablet PC certification requires the system to be completely

Grab-and-Go—that is, to be able to dock with and undock from all accessories without putting the system into suspend or shutting it down.

Connection through legacy ports (serial, parallel, PS2) often requires suspending or restarting the system, which prevents you from moving between desktop mode and mobile mode seamlessly in one docking/ undocking step. You can purchase a USB-to-serial or USB-to-parallel adapter from Motion Computing or a Motion Computing reseller.

How do I adjust the Tablet for left-handed use?

Double-tap on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower-right corner of the display window, which opens the

Settings window. You can change handedness as well as the location of the menus. Then, recalibrate the Pen.

Motion Computing Tablet PCs are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain, and withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the User Guide as well as on the product labels.

WARNING: When using your Tablet PC and accessories, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, and electric shock. These include the following:

• Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bathtub, washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

• Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm.

There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

• The cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCCcompliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

• When setting up the Tablet PC for work, place it on a level surface or in the Motion M-Series Desktop Stand or FlexDock.

• Before you clean your Tablet PC, it is best to turn it off, unplug it from its power source, and remove the battery.

Appendix

C Safety

• You can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the display. One is supplied with your Tablet PC. You can use a window-type cleaning product on the display, but DO NOT spray it directly onto the display. Instead, spray the cloth and then wipe the display.

• Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your Tablet PC.

Doing so can cause personal injury and damage to the device by shorting out internal components.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury, when working with accessories or replacing memory modules, always follow installation instructions closely. Do not attempt to service the Tablet PC yourself, except for those operations described in this User Guide, such as changing memory modules or replacing the battery.

• When installing memory modules or other components, unplug the

Tablet PC from its power source and remove the battery. Handle the memory module with care. Ground yourself by touching the Tablet PC before handling any components. Hold these components by the edge and not by the pins.

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

• Do not plug a modem cable (RJ-11) into a network (RJ-45) connector.

• To completely power-down the Tablet PC, you must turn it off, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove the battery.

• When you move your Tablet PC between environments with very different humidity and/or temperature ranges, condensation may form on or within the Tablet PC. To avoid damaging the Tablet PC, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using it.

• When traveling, do not place the Tablet PC in an overhead storage compartment or other area where it could slide around, nor check it as baggage.

• You can put your Tablet PC through an X-ray security machine, but never put your Tablet PC through a metal detector.

• If you have the Tablet PC checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn it on.

• Help prevent injuries before they occur by taking frequent breaks to stretch and change position. Visit the Mayo Clinic website at www.mayoclinic.com for other suggestions.

• Rest your hands and wrists frequently so they have time to recover from repetitive movements.

• Use a wrist pad.

Appendix

C Safety

• The touch pad on the Motion M-Series Keyboard changes the way you use your hands and wrists, so work with it occasionally as a break from the keyboard or mouse.

• Do not apply heavy pressure to the Tablet PC or subject it to strong impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to components or otherwise cause malfunctions.

• Do not drop your Tablet PC or subject it to other mechanical shocks.

• The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burns if mistreated. Dispose of used battery properly. Do not dispose of in fire. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or short external contacts.

• To avoid injury, if the battery is overheated, wait until the battery cools to room temperature before recharging or replacing it.

• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in burns.

• Replace the Tablet PC battery only with a Motion battery or a Motionapproved equivalent.

• Recycle your battery. Do not throw it in a fire. Do not disassemble, incinerate, or short external contacts.You should check with local authorities for disposal instructions.

• Protect your Tablet PC chassis, display, connectors, and battery from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.

• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the Tablet PC or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

• Use only the AC adapter and power cord approved for use with this

Tablet PC. Use of another type of AC adapter may cause personal injury or damage to the Tablet PC.

• If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

• Battery charging temperature: The ambient temperature of the battery being charged should be between 0 o

C to +50 o

C (+32 o

F to +122 o

F).

Charging the battery outside this range may harm battery performance or reduce battery life.

• Power Input: Power the Charger only with a Motion M-Series AC

Adapter (supplied with both the Battery Charger and the Tablet PC) or the Auto/Plane Adapter for the Motion M-Series (purchased separately). Failure to do so could damage the Charger and void the warranty.

• User Serviceability: Do not disassemble the Charger. It contains no user-serviceable parts.

• Liquids: Avoid spilling liquids on the Charger. Although the Charger is designed to be splash resistant, liquids spilled onto the Charger could short it. If liquids are accidentally spilled, let the Charger dry before use.

• The optional Optical Disk Drive is a Class 1 laser product that produces invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view it directly with optical instruments.
