Optional setup tasks
Create a recovery image
Once you’ve set up your C5t/F5t the way you like it, including installing your applications,
create a system image on an external USB drive. This is a safety measure in the event that
your system stops working.
A system image is an exact copy of a drive and includes Windows® 7, your system settings,
programs, and files. For more information, see Creating a system image on page 59.
Attach the pen tether
The C5t/F5t pen comes with a tether so that you can attach the pen to your tablet to avoid
misplacing it.
To attach the pen tether:
1. Slip one end of the tether through the hole at the end of the pen, then pull the pen
through the loop until it is tight.
2. Slip the other end of the tether through the attach point on the C5t/F5t, then pull the
pen through the loop until it is tight.
You can purchase additional pens from the Motion Computing Accessories page.
