BATTERY ACTIVATION

11

Your wireless pen tablet uses a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Before you can charge or work with Intuos4 you must first remove the insulating safety tag from between the battery and tablet contacts.

1.Turn the wireless tablet upside down and open the battery cover. Use your fingernail to press inward on the latch bar and flip the cover outward to open.

2.Making sure the battery stays in place, gently pull on the safety tag to remove it from between the battery and contact terminals. Discard the tag.

3.Close the battery cover. Move on to charging the battery.

Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Before using Intuos4 for the first time in wireless mode you should fully charge the tablet battery. Do this by connecting the USB cable between Intuos4 and a primary USB port (located directly on your computer), or to a powered USB hub.

USB port

The USB cable is used for charging the battery, and to operate Intuos4 as a wired USB tablet. The battery will charge whenever the USB cable is connected and the battery is not fully charged.

Note: Whenever the tablet is connected using the USB cable, the Bluetooth antenna and any Bluetooth connection to the tablet will be automatically switched off.

Tips:

You can continue with the tablet software installation process and use Intuos4 through the USB connection while the battery is charging. It will take about 5 hours to fully charge an empty battery when the tablet is off, and about 6 hours to fully charge it when the tablet is on. Actual charge time depends upon battery level and tablet use while charging.

Turning off the ExpressKeys display will reduce the charging time when using the tablet while it is charging. See advanced options for information on turning the ExpressKeys display on or off.

The battery status light glows yellow when charging, and glows green when fully charged.
