Using Your Motion M1200 and M1300 Tablet PCs
Motion Computing M1200 and M1300 Tablet PC User Guide 56
• 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. Right-
click the Power/Battery icon in the System Tray, located in the lower
right-hand corner of the display window, to open the Power Options
Properties dialog box. Then adjust the options. For more information,
see the section “Changing the Default Power Scheme” in this chapter.
Or see the Performance and Maintenance section of the Help and
Support Center for details about power settings.
• For international travel, obtain and use the appropriate adapters for
your destination’s electrical outlets. A current converter is not
necessary.
• You may want to carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport
when traveling internationally.
• Consult your insurance company and credit card company to learn
about emergency travel assistance if your Tablet PC is lost or disabled.
