POWER SAVING FEATURES

13

Intuos4 uses a number of power saving features designed to conserve the tablet battery charge and improve performance.

Auto power save mode: Automatically reduces power to the Touch Ring status LEDs and ExpressKeys display as follows:

1 minute no user input:

Low LED and ExpressKeys display brightness

2.5 minutes no user input:

ExpressKeys display turns off

 

Low LED brightness

 

 

Active user input:

Returns brightness to set level

Auto sleep mode: To conserve battery power when the tablet is not in use, the tablet will automatically enter sleep mode after 30 minutes without user input. To resume operations, press the Touch Ring toggle button or move the power switch off and back on.

When there is no wireless connection for more than 5 seconds, such as when the computer is switched off or the tablet is moved out of range, Intuos4 also switches to sleep mode. To resume operations, ensure that your computer’s Bluetooth support is working and that your tablet is within range. Then press the Touch Ring toggle button or move the power switch off and back on.

Tablet auto shut-down: When the battery level is low, the tablet will automatically shut-down. When in tablet auto shut-down mode, the tablet will not function. Recharge the battery immediately, or move the power switch to the off position.

Important: If the power switch is left on (even in tablet auto shut-down mode) a small trickle of current will continue to flow, leading to eventual battery failure.
