Operation Tips
Pressing the left button on the mouse: If the mouse doesn’t react after it’s been idle, press the
left button to reactivate it from the standby mode.
Tapping before you use the stylus pen: Before you use the pen, or after having not used it for
several minutes, tap it on any part of the tablet to reactivate it from the standby mode.
Double-tapping: For best results when double-tapping the pen (equivalent to double-clicking
with a mouse), keep the tip on the tablet’s surface. Otherwise, lift the pen tip as little as
possible before the second tap.
Storing the pen: To store the pen, make sure the tip doesn’t remain in contact with anything,
being especially careful to avoid storing the pen with the tip down: Though the possibility is
remote, constant pressure on the tip could drain the pen’s battery. It’s recommended that the
pen be stored in the specially designed stand enclosed with the tablet. Otherwise, if placing
it in another pen holder, turn the pen with the tip pointing upward or horizontally, free of any
pressure by other objects.
Scrolling/panning function of the pen: The pen has the same function as the middle button
on a three-button mouse for scrolling up and down pages of a document or Web site. Keep
the lower button on the pen (the button nearer the tip) pressed while the pen is held on or
just above the tablet’s work area, and pages can be scrolled up and down or panned left and
right. NOTE: Scrolling options vary among programs; for example, Microsoft Word supports
only vertical scrolling.
Using the pen while a mouse other than the Graphics Tablet mouse is connected to the computer:
The pen is fully operational while a mouse other than the Graphic Tablet’s wireless mouse is
connected to the computer, and a tablet user can switch between the pen, the tablet mouse
and a second mouse at any time. NOTE: Only the wireless mouse that comes with the Graphics
Tablet will work when connected to the tablet. The tablet can be used without a separate
mouse connected to the computer as long as that mouse’s driver has been removed: Go to
Start ► Settings ► Control Panel ► Device Manager; press “+” to reveal the mouse driver;
select and remove it; then restart the computer.
