Recovery Media


All LE1700 systems are now shipping with the Acronis True Image software. This means that you will not have physical recovery CDs. Motion strongly recommends that you create backup recovery media when you receive your system.

The Acronis True Image software allows you to:

  • Recover your system from a factory installed hard drive partition to the original factory image
  • Create your own copy of bootable recovery media on CD, DVD or USB device
  • Create optional back-ups of incremental images
  • Remove the recovery partition to re-capture drive space

For complete detailed information on how to fully utilize the Acronis True Image software including:

  • How to back up your data
  • How to restore your data
  • How to schedule a back up

Simply double-click on the Acronis icon on your desktop to bring up the Acronis True Image software information panel, and click on the HELP content topics listed. (see screen image)



Motion DataGuard


Motion DataGuard protects your hard drive when a shock sensor inside your Motion tablet PC detects a situation that could potentially damage the hard drive, such as a drop or harsh vibration. The protection system stops your hard drive by moving the read/write heads of the hard drive to areas that do not contain data, and may also stop spinning the disks of the hard drive. The hard drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not in operation. The protection system turns the hard drive on again once the shock sensor detects a stable environment.

Motion DataGuard is enabled through the Motion Dashboard Security tab or the control panel, and is programmable for three levels of sensitivity to meet your usage needs.





Wireless Broadband – Work Without Boundaries


Motion™ currently offers embedded mobile broadband technology as an option on LE1700 Tablet PCs which means your productivity will never be limited to a corporate LAN or wireless hot spot again. With embedded mobile broadband and activation of a mobile broadband service plan, you will have high speed data connectivity virtually anywhere you can make a cellular phone call.

> In the US, Motion’s embedded wireless broadband technology is a built-in CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized) Revision A (Rev. A) mini card. For details about Rev. A coverage, see www.sprint.com.

Motion Computing has partnered with Sprint to offer Sprint Mobile Broadband service. Sprint Mobile Broadband service offers untethered productivity and efficiency with broadband speeds comparable to basic DSL throughput – the difference being it’s mobile and goes where your tablet PC goes.

To activate mobile broadband service, call 866-455-9926. After activating, double-tap the Sprint Mobile Broadband icon on the desktop, enter activation information received and click the Go button in the Sprint Mobile Broadband window.
