Sleep mode | Tablet enters sleep mode: |
| • When there is no wireless connection for more than 4 seconds. For example, |
| you switch off the computer, move the tablet out of range, or unplug the |
| wireless receiver. To resume operations, correct any problem and ensure the |
| tablet is within range of your computer. Then press the power button on the |
| Wacom wireless module. See testing your tablet. |
| • After 30 minutes of no user input. |
| • When the battery level is extremely low. Recharge the battery immediately. |
| To wake from sleep mode, first press the power button on the wireless module. |
| Depending on your tablet model, touch the tablet surface with your finger or the |
| pen. Then move your finger or pen along the tablet to fully activate Bamboo. |
| To manually enter sleep mode, press the power button on the wireless module. |
Conserve battery power by turning off the wireless module when you are done working.
Important: The tablet draws current from the battery whenever the wireless module is on. Even in sleep mode a very small trickle of current will continue to flow, leading to eventual battery discharge and possible failure. It is a good idea to charge the battery and turn off the wireless module before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days. See battery life information.
