Thank you for purchasing the MANHATTAN

Graphics Tablet, Model 176040, 174459 or 174572.

Ideally suited for photographers, designers and art ists, this professional-quality tablet offer s

a exible way to work with Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and Flash; Corel Painter; Autodesk

Maya and 3D Studio Max; Pro/E; and other popular soft ware applications. Its versatility can

also help a wide range of new users nd innovative ways to maximize creativity and productivity.

The lightweight RF wireless pen — with 1,024 pressure sensitivit y levels and tilt — enables

the creation of computer graphics, technical drawin gs and other digital documents in a way

that’s more natural and instinctive. The programmable buttons are easi ly customized to suit

users and project requirements, and the wireless thre e-button mouse with scroll uses RF

technology instead of a ball or optics for smooth and accur ate response, less maintenance

and reliable life.

The Graphic Tablet’s ambidextrous, low-prole design is a comfor table t using either hand.

Automatic power-save reduces battery drain and keeps both devices ready for use. An integrated

menu strip contains built-in hotkeys for on-tablet control of frequent menu commands and

application functions. Programmable keys can be set to per form keystroke combinations or

launch a menu item without using the mouse and interrupting work ow. A transparent overlay

helps protect the active area and easily lifts to help secur e documents and photos for tracing.

It’s more precise and intuitive than a traditional keyboard and mouse comb ination, as every

point on the tablet has a corresponding locatio n on the screen. Cursor positions are matched

with pen movements, providing a “pen tablet” function that helps support handwriting recognition

for note-taking and meeting minutes, handwrit ten email and signatures, signature capture and

authentication, and pen navigation. The MANHATTAN Graphics Tablet complements dig ital

whiteboards in training, classroom and presentation ap plications.

Compatible with Windows and Macintosh systems, the Graphic s Tablet includes a driver CD

and a USB connection for quick setup without the need for an ex ternal power supply. Its low

prole, generous cable and adjustable stand (Model 176040 onl y) combine to provide natural,

relaxed working positions to help reduce repetiti ve motion injury.

The easy-to-follow instructions in this user manual hel p make setup and operation simple, so

you’ll also soon be enjoying the benets of all these popular features, co mplete with the

unsurpassed MANHATTAN Lifetime Warranty.
