Under certain lighting conditions, when the Ambient Light Sensor is
enabled, it may automatically dim the display back light, thus saving battery
power. The power savings depends on a combination of the ALS setting (on
the brightness slider) and the ambient light in the environment.
NOTE: For optimal battery life benefits and viewability, we recommend that you
set the brightness slider to the mid-point or slightly above or below mid-point. If
you set the slider higher than this, you lose some of the battery-saving benefits,
while gaining minimal improvement in viewability.

ERFORMANCE
Use only Motion memory modules obtained from Motion Computing to
upgrade the factory-installed memory.
WARNING: When performing the following tasks, turn off your Tablet
PC, unplug the AC power connection, and remove the battery. Ground
yourself by touching a grounded conductive surface, such as a device
or appliance with a grounded, three-pronged plug. Avoid touching the
pins and leads on the memory module and the internal circuitry of the
Tablet PC.
1. After you disconnect power, unscrew the
L-shaped cover from the bottom of the
Tablet PC.
2. If you are replacing a module, release the
clips on each side of the module and lift to
remove it.
3. Align the pins on the Memory Upgrade
module with the receptors on the slot.
4. Gently push the new module into the slot at a
25-degree angle until it is firmly seated; then rotate it into place.
