YOUR DISPLAY
The Tablet PC has a Dual Head Video Controller that lets you run a
presentation from your Tablet PC on an external monitor or data projector
while taking notes in ink. Or, move applications onto a second monitor to
create additional work space.
Connecting the Tablet PC to a Monitor or Projector
1. Plug the VGA monitor cable into the VGA port on the Tablet PC or
Motion FlexDock.
2. Connect the external monitor or data projector to a power outlet and
turn it on. The software recognizes the external monitor or data pro-
jector and searches for a driver.
3. If necessary, install the driver from the CD supplied by the monitor’s
manufacturer.
4. Set up the mirrored desktop or external display, using the steps in the
following sections.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to drag any application window back to the Tablet PC dis-
play before shutting down the external data projector or monitor. Otherwise, you
cannot access the application(s) to shut it down. If you do leave an application
open on the extended display, you can disable it from the Windows Control Panel
Display Properties or from the Motion Dashboard.
Setting Up a Mirrored Desktop
Use this feature to connect an external projector for presentations or an
extra display on your desk. This example shows (1) a Word document
displayed (“mirrored”) on both (2) the Tablet PC and (3) an external
monitor.
Mirrored Desktop Example: (1) Word Document; (2) Tablet PC; (3) External
Monitor
NOTE: The resolution and orientation of the external monitor will be the same as
the Tablet PC display.
a. Open the Motion Dashboard.
b. Select the Mirror Desktop radio button
under External Display. This setting
automatically creates an identical display on
the external monitor.
