The Motion™ C5 and Motion™ F5 are portable, semi-rugged pen-based computers 
designed for health care, manufacturing, utilities, warehousing, field service 
workers, or anyone else that needs the mobility and flexibility of a tablet computer.

The C5 and F5 integrate traditional computer features with digital ink, data 
capture, and speech recognition. The C5 and F5 differ from convertible and slate 
devices in the following ways:

•

Minimize ports and connectors, creating a semi-sealed device that is easier to 

clean and disinfect.

•

Include several built-in data capture technologies—such as a RFID reader, 

camera, and bar code scanner—that eliminate the need for external devices.

•

Deliver an optimal balance of performance and portability.

If you have never used a pen-based computer, use the information in this section 
to get started. If you are already familiar with pen-based computers, skip to the 
next chapter to learn about the features of the C5 and F5.

Note: Because you typically use a pen instead of a mouse with tablet computers, 

we use the term tap instead of click in most situations.
