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.
Adjusting Display Settings and Screen Brightness
The Display settings on the
Motion Dashboard
are used to set the brightness level
of the liquid crystal display (LCD). These settings are used in conjunction with the
Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) to maintain a level of brightness and contrast in all
lighting conditions.
The built-in light sensor located on the Tablet PC front panel measures the ambient
light in the environment. The system then automatically balances the brightness of
the Tablet PC display in relation to the surroundings. You can set brightness modes
from the
Motion
Dashboard
(note: you can also turn the display off).
• Fixed — Sets the display brightness to a fixed level (ALS is off); use the slider
to adjust the display to the desired brightness level
• Dynamic — Sets the display so that the system adjusts the brightness to the
preferred level under changing lighting conditions while maintaining viewability
(ALS is on)
Setting the Display to On and Off.
1. Open the
Motion
Dashboard
.
2. In the Display panel, tap
Display
Off
.
NOTE:
To turn the display back on, wave your pen over the display or press
any key on the keyboard. When the display appears, the
Fixed/Dynamic
setting remains selected as it was.
Setting “Dynamic” Display Brightness: ALS On.
When you turn on the ALS, the
display will automatically brighten if you move from dim to bright light (within the
range supported by the hardware), or automatically dim if you move to an
environment with a lower level of lighting. You may not be able to visibly detect the
adjustment. Using ALS also helps to reduce power consumption when possible.
1. Open the
Motion
Dashboard
.
2. On the
Display
panel under
Display
, tap the radio button beside
Dynamic
.
3. Move the slider until the Tablet PC display is at the preferred brightness
level. The system will then automatically adjust the display brightness to
changes in lighting.
Setting “Fixed” Display Brightness: ALS Off.
1. Open the
Motion
Dashboard
.
2. On the
Display
panel under
Display
, tap the
Fixed
radio button.
3. Move the slider until the brightness is at the desired level. The system will
keep the
same
brightness level at all times; that is, it will not adjust the dis-
play brightness to changes in lighting.
NOTE:
In low-light settings, the “Fixed” brightness setting may keep the
display brighter than is needed for good viewability. Keeping the brightness
always at the same level may also use more battery power than necessary.
