FAQS How long will the battery stay charged?
This can vary according how you’re using the Tablet PC, but a new, fully
charged standard Motion 6-cell battery can last 3-4 hours.
Can I make the battery charge last longer?
• Change to the Max Battery power scheme (right-click on the Power/
Battery icon in the System Tray—located in the lower-right corner of
the display window—and tap Adjust Power Properties; under Power
schemes, tap Max Battery). The Tablet PC comes with Motion
Computing Optimized as the default power scheme.
• Dim the display brightness by opening the Motion Dashboard and
moving the Display Brightness slider. (You can also double-tap on the
Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray and choose the
Display tab to get this brightness slider.)
• Disconnect LAN/modem connections and disable wireless
communications when not in use (uncheck the Wireless checkboxes in
the Motion Dashboard).
• Turn off optional and unnecessary background programs and turn off
or unplug accessory equipment from the USB and IEEE 1394 ports.
What does the Tablet PC need for use in another country?
Just an outlet adapter, which you can find in airports and travel stores.
The AC adapter will adjust automatically to different voltages when
plugged into the correct location-appropriate power adapter.
What’s the best way to clean the display screen?
To clean the display screen, wipe it with a soft cloth (like the one
supplied) onto which you have sprayed a window-type cleaner. Do not
spray cleaners, spray/pour any liquid, nor wipe any abrasive cleaner on
the screen nor any surface of the Tablet PC. Do not use tissues or paper
towels to clean the screen. They contain wood fibers and may scratch the
surface.
Will scratches affect the display/digitizer’s performance?
Testing has not found appreciable loss of performance on a scratched
display.
How sensitive is the screen to sunlight and the elements?
As with any computer or electronic device, the Tablet PC should be
protected from liquids, dirt and sand, other contaminants, sunlight, and
extreme heat.
Will the Tablet PC work with any monitor or USB accessory keyboard, mouse,
disk drive, etc?
As long as the device’s driver is available either in the Windows XP
operating system or from the manufacturer and it carries the Windows
XP logo or certification, it should work with your Tablet PC. For more
information, see www.microsoft.com/help.
