Using your R12
Motion Tablet Center 26
If you want to disable unused devices so that you can extend your Tablet PC’s battery life,
tap the switch beside the devices that are on to turn them off. To enable these devices, tap
the switch to turn them on.
By default, the R12 uses the Motion Optimized power plan that is designed specifically for
Motion Computing tablets. It balances the need to save power while maximizing tablet
performance. When the tablet senses no current activity, it goes into Power Saver mode
automatically.
To change the power plan:

Setting the power plan to Power Saver reduces your Tablet PC’s performance.
When you press and release the power button, it can go into one of the following modes:
Sleep
—The tablet pauses all activity immediately and quickly resumes when awakened.
This saves power when you’re away from your tablet for a short time. However, you will lose
unsaved data if there’s a power failure.
Hibernate
—The tablet saves the contents of memory to the hard drive and shuts down.
Pressing the power button restores the desktop exactly as you left it.
Shut down
—Tablet shuts down. Pressing the power button reboots the tablet.
By default, the tablet goes to sleep when you press and release the power button. To wake
up your tablet, press and release the power button again. You can put the tablet in
Hibernate mode or shut it down completely from the Start menu.
