Tip replacement

After the pen has been used for a long time, the pen tip will shorten as a result of friction against the tablet surface. A blunt tip does not pass the pressure force properly and should be

replaced. The tablet comes with two spare tips and tweezers facilitating the tip replacement. Follow the steps below to replace the tip:

1. Grab the tip with the supplied tweezers and pull it out gently from the pen case.
2. Insert a new tip instead of the old one.
3. Press the tip in carefully, holding the pen in vertical position.

LEDs and buttons

Power LED – blinks after connecting the tablet to the computer, lights when tracing the pen. The LEDs above the buttons indicate knobs operating mode and work area dimensions. The buttons and knobs operation requires installing the supplied drivers. Both tablet knobs work in the same way. The center knob part serves as a button, and its function depends on the knob operation mode (Scroll, Zoom, VOL). Knob functions may be different from the described ones, depending on the application used.

Scroll – In this mode, the tablet knobs are used for scrolling the window contents vertically and horizontally. The knob button changes the scrolling direction (vertical/horizontal).

Zoom – In this mode, the tablet knobs are used for changing the zoom factor. Pressing and holding the knob button in this mode works as the "Hand" tool.

VOL – In this mode, the tablet knobs are used for adjustment of the sound card general volume. The knob button turns the sound on and off (Mute).

Wide – Sets the tablet working area to 30.48 cm x 18.41 cm (the working area width is limited by the function keys) and is designed for work with a wide-screen display.

4:3 – Sets the tablet working area to 24.13 cm x 18.41 cm (the working area width is limited by vertical grooves visible under the tablet surface) and is designed for work with a standard display.

Tablet installation

Follow the steps below to install the tablet properly. The tablet drivers are designed for Windows 2000/XP and Vista systems.

1. Insert the supplied CD with drivers into the CD-ROM drive in the computer.
2. If the installer does not launch automatically, click the Start > Run menu, enter X:\setup (where X is the CD-ROM drive letter) and press Enter.

1. In the installer window, click the Macro Key Manager, to start the drivers and Macro Key Manager application installer.
2. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to install the drivers and the Macro Key Manager application.
3. When the installation finishes, a prompt will display, asking the user to restart the computer. Close all open applications and click the OK button.
4. After the computer has restarted, connect the tablet USB cable to a free computer USB port and wait for the system to install the tablet.
5. Check whether all tablet functions work properly. A pen movement over the tablet surface should cause the cursor movement on the screen.

Using the tablet

Work with the tablet is very intuitive and comfortable, but the user needs to get used to it. The key to the success in working with the tablet is holding the pen more vertically than when using a ball point pen, and also tracking the cursor movement on the screen rather than looking at the pen.

After the pen is put close enough to the tablet surface, it makes the tablet trace the pen movement, and the cursor moves accordingly. Touching the tablet surface with the pen is equivalent to a click with the left mouse button. The default functions of the pen side buttons depend on the operating system:

• Windows 2000/XP – The right mouse button is replaced with the lower side button of the pen. To perform a double click (double clicking with the left mouse button), either tap the pen against the tablet surface twice in one place very quickly (trying not to displace the pen), or press the upper side button of the pen. The pen side buttons' functions may be changed in the tablet driver.
• Windows Vista – The right mouse button is replaced with the upper side button of the pen. You can also hold the pen touched in one place of the tablet surface and wait for the visual effect. To perform a double click (double clicking with the left mouse button), tap the pen against the tablet surface twice in one place very quickly (trying not to displace the pen).

To save battery, the pen automatically switches into sleep mode when it is not used for several minutes. If you do not use the pen for a longer time, put it in the supplied holder or lay flat in a place where neither the tip nor the side buttons can be pressed. To wake the pen up from the sleep mode, tap its tip against the tablet surface.
