read the following tips.

Fingerprint reader tips

• For best results, use the Practice option to familiarize yourself with the fingerprint

reader before enrolling the first time.

• Be consistent. Hold your finger and scan at the same angle each time. For example, if you

enroll your finger with your hand open, hold your hand this way each time you scan.

• The scanner is bi-directional. You can move your finger from right to left or left to right.

• Read the prompts carefully and ensure that you wait for the prompt before you swipe.

• Swiping too fast or too slow can make a capture unsuccessful. Change the swipe speed

until you learn what speed works best.

• When scanning, press hard enough to fully contact both the nickel-colored ring and the

sensor; you don’t have to press hard.

• Rub your fingers together to stimulate the natural skin oils so your fingerprint is easier to

detect. Conversely, wipe dirt or debris off your finger before scanning it so nothing

interferes with the scan.

• If you’re having trouble enrolling a specific finger, enroll a different finger. Enroll multiple

fingers in case one is injured.

• If you’re repeatedly having trouble getting a good scan, you may need to clean the

sensor. See Cleaning the fingerprint reader on page 64.

To enroll as a new OmniPass user:

1. If you haven’t already done so, Start OmniPass.

2. Tap Enroll New User.

3. Follow the instructions in the setup program. When prompted:

finger as instructed.

4. Enroll a second fingerprint, which you can use if you injure your first finger.

Note: You can enroll another fingerprint at another time from the OmniPass Control

Center.

4. Back up your user profile to an external drive that you can store in a secure location in

the event that your user profile is corrupted or if your Tablet PC must be reimaged.

Chapter 2 Using your C5t/F5t Using the fingerprint reader 53

Replace your passwords

Once you’ve enrolled in OmniPass, you can use your OmniPass credentials instead of your

password to log on to your accounts that require passwords. This is called password

replacement. You set up password replacement the next time you’re prompted for a

password. Instead of entering the password, you register your OmniPass credentials.

To register OmniPass credentials:

1. At the user name and password prompt, enter your user name and password, but don’t

log on. (Don’t tap Enter, Submit, or OK.)

2. Right-click the OmniPass icon, and select Remember Password. The Windows® arrow

antimicrobial solvents and information about specific products is available upon request.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “items that do not ordinarily

touch the patient or touch only intact skin aren’t involved in disease transmission, and

generally do not necessitate disinfection between uses on different patients”.

recommend using an EPA-approved low-level disinfectant when general cleaning is

required. For a list of cleaning solutions tested by Motion Computing, see Cleaning

solutions on page 62.

If the tablet becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, a hospital-approved low-level

disinfectant that is tuberculocidal/virucidal when used at recommended dilutions and

contact times can be used.

1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Sterilization or Disinfection of Medical Devices-General

Principles.” 2002.

<www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/bp_sterilization_medDevices.html> (20 Sept. 2006).

Chapter 3 Caring for your C5t/F5t Cleaning the fingerprint reader 64

Visibly soiled areas should first be cleaned and then disinfected, or a detergent disinfectant

can be used. For disinfection, the cleaned areas should be moistened with the appropriate

germicide and allowed to air-dry.

If the tablet is used with patients who are infected or colonized with vancomycin-resistant

enterococci or other drug-resistant microorganisms judged by the infection control

program (based on current state, regional, or national recommendations, to be of special or

clinical or epidemiologic significance or with highly virulent microorganisms such as Ebola

or Lassa), then the unit should be dedicated to one patient or patient cohort or subjected to

low-level cleaning between patient uses.

Training and documentation considerations

All users of tablet computers in the healthcare environment should be provided with

training on proper cleaning procedures. Cleaning procedures should be added to the

institution's policies and procedures for infection prevention.

Cleaning the fingerprint reader

Bluetooth wireless tips

Motion Computing and its Bluetooth partners have worked to ensure a positive experience

with this technology and to ensure Bluetooth interoperability. In doing so, we have found

the following issues:

• Interference—If you’re running Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time, interference can

affect the Bluetooth performance. This is most noticeable if:

– You try to transfer large amounts of data, such as with file transfers

– Several Bluetooth devices are operating in an office simultaneously

• Speech Recognition—Bluetooth audio has not been fully developed for speech

recognition. Therefore, for speech recognition, we recommend that you not use a

Bluetooth wireless headset. A better solution is to use Motion Speak Anywhere, which

can record clear audio, dictate notes and use voice commands without a microphone

headset.

• Disconnection—Some Bluetooth devices will disconnect when they go into power-

saving mode. Most devices will automatically reconnect when they become active again.

• Incompatible drivers—If you attempt to install other wireless headset or other audio

drivers (such as Bluetooth or USB) over the Tablet PC audio drivers, a malfunction of the

Tablet PC audio system may occur because the drivers may not be compatible.

• Interoperability—If you’re having issues with interoperability of Bluetooth devices,

contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth device and check its compatibility with the

Bluetooth software installed on your Tablet PC.

• Security—Bluetooth devices use a passkey to create a secure connection between the

Tablet PC and the Bluetooth device. Although the passkey exchange helps to secure

your data, Bluetooth wireless technology shouldn’t be considered completely secure.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and FAQs Troubleshooting 73
