USAGE

With this Graphics tablet, new forms of graphics data input are available to you. The familiar ergonomics of the touch-sensitive pen allow you to draw directly into your Graphics program. You will be able to increase the efficiency of the input of your designs. Digitally, the drawing produced with the Graphics tablet, as always, can be further processed by specific digital imaging application software. The drawing pen has two buttons available, which can be programmed with the desired functions. The included cordless mouse offers you three programmable buttons for optimal functionality and control.

GETTING STARTED

INSERT THE BATTERY INTO THE PEN

1. Turn the rear end of the pen counterclockwise, as you would with a ballpoint pen, and remove the rear end.
2. Put one of the included batteries into the pen, (see above illustration). Make sure that the end of the battery marked with "+" appears at the pen top and that end marked with "-" points to the end of the rear contact spring
3. Replace the rear end of the pen again and turn it clockwise to tighten.

INSERT THE BATTERY INTO THE CORDLESS MOUSE

Two simple electrical components with battery symbols, one open and one closed, both without any text or labels.

1. Turn the mouse over and remove the battery compartment cover by using the small plastic tab (see arrow). Press carefully backwards and remove upwards.
2. Put one of the included batteries into the battery compartment of the mouse, (see above illustration). Make sure that the end of the battery marked with "+" appears on the right side and the end marked with "-" points to the rear contact spring.

INSTALLATION OF THE GRAPHICS TABLET

The following installation instructions are applicable to the Microsoft® Windows® operating system versions 98SE/ME/2000/XP. The installation is basically the same with all of these operating systems. Here are some tips to complete the installation successfully.

• Have ready the Installation CD for the Graphics tablet.
• Also have ready the Installation CD of your computer's operating system in case you need it.
• If you use Windows ^® 2000 or XP, login with administrator rights in order to successfully install the driver and software.

During the installation procedure important files can be changed or even deleted. To avoid problems with using older files after installation, make sure you back up your hard disk and important files.

Note: If your operating system is configured so that the installation procedure accepts only signed drivers and software (the default) this information screen will appear:

Although the software lacks the digital signature it still works properly. Click on "Tell me why this testing is important" to get detailed information.
