QUICK START
INSTRUCTIONS
Start the Tablet PC by sliding the power switch. The power LED turns blue
and the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) LED intermittently flashes blue (these are
the top two LEDs on the upper right corner). Then Windows XP launches.
When you start the Tablet PC, the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
Tutorials screen appears.
NOTE: If you do not want this screen to continue to appear,
check “Do not show me this again.” We recommend that
you complete the Microsoft tutorials, which take a few min-
utes. It you do not want to run the tutorials now, you can return
to them by tapping Start > Using Your Motion Tablet PC.
Using the Motion Digitizer Pen
The Motion Digitizer Pen contains
internal electronics that let you
enter digital ink on the Tablet PC
display. The pen is a sensitive,
electronic, data-entry device
designed in conjunction with the
display. The pen includes a user-
replaceable tip; the other end of
the pen serves as an eraser in applications that support an eraser. The pen
contains no batteries and requires no external power. The pen contains a
pen function button, used for right-clicking (like a mouse) and a small
opening at one end for attaching a pen tether cord. Using the pen tether
(provided) helps prevent pen loss; attach it to the built-in pen tether post on
the upper right edge of the Tablet PC. The pen also comes with replacement
pen tips and a replacement tool. For information about replacing the pen
tips, refer to the Care and Maintenance information in Chapter 3.

Pen Usage. Think of the pen as your mouse; review the following
information about how it works in conjunction with tapping, pressing, and the
function button.
• Tap — Firmly tap the pen on the Tablet PC display, without pressing the
function button on the pen; a tap equals a mouse left-click
• Double-tap — Tap the pen twice on the display, without pressing the
function button on the pen
• Right-click — Press the function button on the pen and tap the pen on
the display (equals a mouse right-click)
• Press and hold — Press and hold the tip of the pen to the display with-
out pressing the pen function button (equals a mouse right-click)
• Tap and drag — Tap and drag the pen on the display
• Select/Highlight — Tap on the item on the display to activate the func-
tion: to select a line of text, tap, hold down the button, and drag the pen
across the text to highlight it
NOTE: For best results, we recommend that you calibrate
your pen before using it for the first time. For information
about this and other pen procedures, refer to “Calibrating and
Using Your Digital Pen” on page 20.
Helpful Hints: Pen and Ink
Here are some additional hints about working with the digital pen. For more
information about the pen and Tablet PC settings refer to “Configuring
Tablet and Pen Settings” on page 19.
• When you write with the pen, you can rest your hand or arm anywhere
without disturbing any open programs or damaging the display.
• Watch the cursor instead of the pen tip when you write. The cursor is a
guide for your pen movements. If it does not align with the pen tip, you
should recalibrate the pen.
• Practice writing and learn how firmly and where to tap on the Tablet PC
display. You need these skills for activating programs, menus, or other
Tablet PC functions.
• The pen can be held like any other writing tool. Learn how to hold it and
when and how to press the function button on the pen, which activates
right-click options (such as pop-up menus). You can also activate the
right-click options by pressing and holding the pen tip on the surface of
the display.
• Change pen tips every 90 days in a clean environment. Change pen tips
every 30 days if you use the pen in an environment with airborne or sur-
face debris (sand, dust, etc.) or if you drop it on a rough surface. Any of
these or similar situations could damage the pen tip or embed debris in
it. You may not notice the damage or debris until it is too late. Damaged
pen tips could scratch the display.
Perform the following steps to familiarize yourself with the Tablet PC.
• Complete the Microsoft Tablet PC Tutorials
• Read the Motion Resources Page and review the User Guide
• Open the Motion Dashboard
• Go to the Microsoft Help and Resources Page for more information

Complete the Microsoft Tablet PC Tutorials
When you start your Tablet PC, several tutorials are offered to help you
learn to use various features, such as the Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP) and
speech recognition.
The tutorials are short, quick, and informative and are an excellent place to
begin a successful Tablet PC experience.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
2005 provides several tutorials. One set ap-
pears each time you start the Tablet PC (unless
you deactivate this option). Others can be found
by tapping the Using Your Motion Tablet icon
on your desktop. If you are new to the Tablet PC
world, taking the tutorials is a great way to get
started and learn quickly.

Tablet PC View AnywhereTM Display Option. The View Anywhere display
option was designed to enhance indoor viewing and to improve outdoor
viewing while retaining all the standard display features. The bright 12.1-
inch XGA TFT display was developed from a proprietary optical
enhancement process based on technology initially developed for high-end
military aviation and marine applications. The View Anywhere display
includes all the features of the standard display plus the following
components:
• A protective layer that improves the sunlight contrast ratio and signifi-
cantly reduces reflection and glare
• Improved sunlight contrast ratio, which enhances viewability at wide
viewing angles even further than the standard display
• Enhanced optical display technology with a significant reduction in
unwanted reflection and glare and improved light pass-through effi-
ciency
Fingerprint Reader
The fingerprint reader lets you scan your fingerprint and
associate it with passwords. This feature offers a quick
and convenient way to log on to your Tablet PC, provides
global password management, and protects your Tablet
PC data from unauthorized access. The fingerprint reader
also serves as a scrolling device; you can move your
finger vertically (from top to bottom) to scroll the cursor
within the active application window.
Motion AC Adapter
The Motion AC Adapter has three components:
• AC power adapter
• Power cord
• AC mini-plug with folding prongs that can be
used instead of the long cord when traveling
CAUTION: Use the Motion AC Adapter with your Mo-
tion Tablet PC. This adapter should not be used to
power any other electronic devices. If you do so, you
may damage the accessory or the other device.
Motion Battery Pack
Each Motion Tablet PC ships with a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery mounted and
latched at the top edge of the Tablet PC. Extra batteries are available from
Motion Computing. An optional Extended Battery is available that provides
additional hours of continuous operation.
