2 Features The Motion Computing J3400 Tablet PC has the power and features of a notebook computer, while giving you the added mobility and versatility of a tablet computer. Use the information in this chapter to get more familiar with the hardware features of your J3400 Tablet PC, such as buttons, slots, connectors, and wireless adapters. The J3400 Tablet PC includes the following integrated features: • Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor • Mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset • Wi-Fi (802.
Pen An important difference between traditional PCs and Tablet PCs is that you frequently use the tablet pen to interact with the computer instead of a mouse and keyboard. The pen includes a pressure-sensitive tip, a function button, and on some models, an eraser. The pen contains no batteries and requires no external power. Eraser Function button Tip For information about using the pen, see “Using the pen” on page 23.
Front panel buttons You can use the buttons on the front of the tablet to perform many functions without having to use the pen. The buttons are customizable, so you can modify their functions to suit the way you work. See “Configuring front panel buttons” on page 25. Camera Motion QuickNav Dashboard Esc Directional pad Button Primary Secondary (Press and hold button for one second) Camera Use to trigger an exposure in the built-in camera. Motion QuickNav Opens QuickNav.
Battery status light You can use the indicator light on the right side of the tablet to monitor the status of the battery. The following illustration and table show the battery status light and the various power state descriptions. Battery status light Status 12 Description Steady green The battery is fully charged and the tablet is running on AC power Steady amber One or more batteries charging Off Not charging. The tablet is running on battery power.
Security The J3400 provides a safe computing environment that enables strong security protection and serves as the foundation for complementary security technologies. The core security features include InsydeH20 Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) BIOS, a built-in fingerprint reader, a universal security lock, the Dashboard Security Center, TPM (Trusted Platform Module), and a Smart Card-ready platform.
Display The J3400 includes a 12.1-inch display with the following features: • A highly readable LCD (liquid crystal display). • WXGA, 1280 × 800 resolution. • A protective layer that offers a firm writing surface and minimizes glare. • A digitizer panel that enables handwritten entry with the tablet pen. View Anywhere display (optional) The View Anywhere™ display option enhances outdoor viewing and bright-light viewing environments.
Ambient light sensor (ALS) If you have dynamic brightness selected and are running on battery power, the ambient light sensor measures the surrounding light and adjusts the display brightness and contrast accordingly. This ensures that you have proper settings for all lighting conditions. To enable dynamic brightness, see “Adjusting the display brightness” on page 27.
Security slot You can use the security slot to attach your tablet to a desk, table or other fixture. You must purchase a security lock separately. VGA port You can use the VGA port to connect standard VGA monitors. When you attach an external monitor, you can use the external monitor only, or the external monitor and the Tablet PC display together. See “Setting up an external display” on page 27.
Express card slot (optional) The Express card slot holds one Express card for networking, memory expansion, or accessories. • • To insert an Express card, remove the card slot cover and place the Express card in the slot with the label side up. To remove the card, pull the card out of the slot and replace the card slot cover. The J3400 includes a cover for the Express card slot. To protect the PC card slot, you should leave the blank card in place when you do not have a PC card in the slot.
Mobile Broadband (optional) The J3400 Tablet PC is available with an optional Mobile Broadband adapter that you can use to send and receive data wirelessly. By using Mobile Broadband, you can browse the Internet, send and receive email, connect to your company’s intranet, or use Web-based applications. Mobile Broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you can use it in more places than other wireless technologies.
Under normal conditions, you can run the tablet on battery power with one battery for about three hours and using two batteries for about seven hours. You can maximize battery life by optimizing your power plan. See “Using power plans” on page 30. For information about charging and checking battery status, see “Using the battery” on page 33. CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, handle the battery with care. Do not open, puncture, short, or expose it to fire or water.
