3 Steps to Improve Your Tablet’s Performance 1 – “Defrag” your hard drive
How to turn wireless Off:
During the normal course of usage, your files become fragmented and scattered across your hard drive. This results in decreased performance because it takes your computer longer to find the pieces and rebuild the file. When you defragment your hard drive, the files are organized so they can be accessed faster.
1. Press Fn+F5 on your keyboard.
Prior to defragmenting, delete old documents, such as reports, that are no longer pertinent or in use. When considering documents for possible deletion, be sure to review any Preservation Memos you may have previously received from the NPC Legal Department, and do not delete any documents that you are required to preserve for any legal matter.
3. The label on the button will change to Radio On.
Here’s how to defragment your hard drive: 1. Click Start > Utilities > Defragment Drive C. 2. The process will display an Analysis Report.
2. Check the Status — when the Status is On, click the Radio Off button.
4. The Status will now be Off and the radio tower color will be gray.
Tip: Turn wireless signal Off before you shutdown your tablet for a faster boot up during your next logon.
3. Defragmentation Complete message will display when done.
3 – Check your battery settings
Depending on the amount of defragmentation, the first time may take several hours, so it’s best to do this overnight.
The Novartis Optimized battery setting was developed to provide you with the best performance while using your tablet in the field. Using another battery setting will result in decreased performance.
Tip: To maintain good performance, defragment your hard disk on a monthly basis. When you establish a monthly routine, the process will be shorter.
2–Turn wireless off when not needed Leaving the wireless capability turned on when you’re not connected decreases performance, increases boot up time, and shortens battery life.
Here’s how to review your battery settings: 1. Click on the green battery icon in the lower right corner to open the Power Scheme menu. 2. Click on Novartis Optimized, listed first in the drop down menu. 3. Click outside of the Power Scheme menu to close or press the escape (ESC) key. Tip: Optimum battery performance is achieved when using the Novartis Optimized battery setting. Follow these 3 steps and your tablet will run faster.
