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.
