Using the TIP. The following example shows how the TIP icon appears in a “Save As” window; you can tap the icon to open the TIP panel to use handwriting or the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the New Folder. Tap to open the TIP When you tap this icon, the writing pad opens. As you write, the recognition software interprets the writing and displays a text equivalent below the line.
• Speech - If this is the first time you selected Speech, a Speech Recognition Enrollment window is shown. You must adjust the microphones (using the Motion Dashboard) and adapt the speech recognition for your voice before speech recognition is functional. This can take several minutes. After making the adjustments, tapping Speech shows that Dictation and Command icons have been added to the TIP panel. Tapping either Dictation or Command opens a voice input window.
Using the character pad. Use the character pad for acronyms, equations, or other entries that require individual letters, numbers, or symbols that the writing pad may interpret incorrectly. Some examples include the following: ~{}[] \ /.

NOTE: When using the on-screen keyboard, be sure to place your cursor where you want to enter text in the text entry box before you tap Insert.
Speaker Volume. While the noise suppression software removes most background noise, in some cases speaker playback (such as background music or intermittent audio messages) can affect recording. In general, reducing speaker volume will eliminate these extraneous noises. Microphone Volume. The default volume setting for the microphones is at roughly two-thirds of the sliding scale. When recording, dictating, or using voice commands, you may need to adjust this setting until you achieve the desired results.
Changing display orientation. An interesting and useful feature of the Tablet PC is the ability to change the screen orientation from landscape to portrait by pressing a button. Also, you can rotate the screen in 90-degree increments. The Tablet PC flexibility in changing the screen orientation enables you to set the view for your viewing needs. You may be using an application where it is more advantageous to have a portrait (vertical) view of the screen.
Setting up a mirrored display. Use this feature to connect an external projector for presentations or an extra display on your desk. This example shows a Word document (1) displayed (“mirrored”) on both the Tablet PC (2) and an external monitor (3).

The battery latches on the back of the LS-Series Tablet PC are shown below. The battery can be removed by sliding each latch toward the center to unlock the battery.
Charging the battery. When the Tablet PC (with a standard battery) is connected to AC power, the battery automatically charges until it reaches full charge, even while the Tablet PC is being used. If two batteries (standard battery and extended battery) are attached, the extended battery discharges first, then the standard battery discharges.

headset. These capabilities make the Motion Tablet PC with Speak Anywhere technology a valuable tool for mobile users in a variety of work settings, including small or large groups, or for individual dictation or voice commands. • Two integrated microphones are used at one time.The integrated microphones help optimize the sound capturing capabilities of the Tablet PC for speech recognition and voice recording.
• Voice command mode — Selected by tapping Command. Listens for specific words that correspond to an existing list of available voice commands; use to quickly switch between programs, for saving documents, etc. NOTE: To turn off speech, tap the button for Dictation or Command (whichever you are using).

• Even with the Narrow Angle setting, if a sound is loud enough and within the angle of acceptance (no matter how distant), the sound will be picked up by the microphones. The advantage of the Tablet PC is that it detects fewer extraneous sounds than other audio systems. You can further limit the detection of these outside sounds by turning down the microphone volume and speaking louder; this reduces the microphones’ range and restricts the capability to detect extraneous sounds.
Speaker Port (LE-Series) The speaker port is on the left edge of the LE-Series Tablet PC. It is marked with a small headphones symbol and is designed as an audio output channel only. You can attach external speakers or headphones to this port. When headphones or external speakers are attached, the internal speakers are disabled.
