Intuos5 can operate wirelessly or in USB mode, but not both at the same time.
•Wireless mode is activated when Intuos5 is properly configured for wireless operation and the USB cable is disconnected. When the USB cable is disconnected, the tablet searches and connects to the wireless receiver within 4 seconds. If the receiver is not found then the tablet enters sleep mode.
•USB connection deactivates wireless mode, and activates USB mode.
Notes:
Pairing is not required. The wireless module and Wacom wireless receiver are factory paired and work together as a discrete set.
Intuos5 can operate wirelessly for up to 10 meters (33 feet) away from your computer. It is not necessary for Intuos5 to be “in sight” of the wireless receiver. The wireless module uses radio- frequency technology, which can pass through
Interference from other devices (especially audio devices) or metallic objects located in or along the line of sight can negatively impact the tablet performance and operating distance. If you experience connection problems, see optimizing the wireless connection.
When starting up your computer, wait until your operating system has completely loaded and then turn on the wireless module (if not already on) to begin working wirelessly.
Important: The use of wireless devices is regulated in most countries. If Intuos5 is configured for wireless operation and you will be traveling, check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any restrictions that may apply to your product in the countries that you visit.
