Using Your Motion Tablet PC
Motion Computing M1400 Tablet PC User Guide 30
When you start the Tablet PC, the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
Tutorials screen appears. If you do not want this to continue to appear, check
“Do not show me this again.” We recommend that you complete the
Microsoft tutorials, which take a few minutes. It you do not want to run the
tutorials now, you can always return to them by tapping Start>Using Your
Motion Tablet PC.
Turning Your Tablet PC Off
The recommended way to shut down your Tablet PC is by selecting Start and
then Shut Down. Alternately, you can force a shutdown by pressing and
holding the power switch for about 5 seconds. (You can change the function
of this button so it puts the system into Stand By or Hibernate mode. See the
section “Conserving Power with Stand By or Hibernate Mode” in this
chapter. These modes preserve your Tablet PC settings, when possible.)
IMPORTANT: Use a forced shutdown only when the system is completely
unresponsive to software commands. If you have any applications open or any
unsaved work, you will lose it. Windows will not prompt you to save your work if
you force a shutdown.

MOTION
DASHBOARD
In the following sections, you will be instructed to open the Motion
Dashboard. To do this, press Hot Key #1 (1) on the Tablet PC front panel.
You can also access

functions in a convenient
location.

Low-power Stand By or Hibernate mode can conserve Tablet PC power,
important when running on battery. Each is designed to preserve your Tablet
PC settings, when possible, so you can resume work where you left off.
• Stand By — Greatly reduces Tablet PC power consumption and restarts
within a few seconds. Choose Stand By when you plan to return to work
within a short time (a few minutes to a few hours) and want to
conserve power.
• Hibernate — Completely shuts down the Tablet PC to conserve power.
It takes slightly longer to restart from Hibernate than from Stand By
