To check the current battery charge status, open the Wacom Tablet control panel and look at the tablet icon in the TABLET list of the control panel. See working with tablet properties.
•To maximize battery operation time, consider turning off the ExpressKeys display (see advanced options).
•When you are done working, turn off the tablet using the tablet power switch in order to conserve battery power.
•The tablet will draw current from the battery whenever the power switch is in the on position. A small current is drawn even in auto sleep and tablet auto
•If the battery charge is low and the battery remains in the tablet for a long period of time (a week or longer) with the power switch in the on position, the small trickle of current used by the tablet is likely to discharge the battery so far that an internal protection circuit within the battery is activated. If this occurs you will no longer be able to charge the battery. To preserve your battery, move the tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a week or longer.
•For extended storage (a month or longer), Wacom recommends that the battery be at least half full before you move the power switch to the off position. You do not need to remove the battery because the power switch disconnects the battery from the tablet circuit when in the off position.
•If your battery can no longer be charged or no longer holds a charge, the battery should be replaced. See replacing the tablet battery.
