OPTIMIZING THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

If your screen cursor lags behind the pen movement on the tablet or frequently “jumps” about, or if you see excessive straight line segments when drawing in graphics applications, then your Bluetooth connection may not be able to transmit all of the data from the tablet with the necessary speed. This may be caused by interference from other radio sources, obstructions in the radio wave path, excessive distance from the computer, or a combination of the above.

Try the following actions to improve your Bluetooth connection and optimize tablet performance:

•Remove any metallic objects that may be in the line of sight between Intuos4 and your Bluetooth antenna or adapter.

•If you are using a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter (dongle), use a USB extension cable and place the adapter on your desktop or somewhere in sight of Intuos4.

•Use Bluetooth support that complies with Bluetooth Specification v2.1 and supports the EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) protocol. Contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth support for details.

•Use a Class 1 Bluetooth adapter (dongle) on your computer.

•If you are using a computer with a built-in Bluetooth antenna, try reorienting the computer until you get a better data rate.

•Move the tablet closer to your computer’s Bluetooth antenna.

•Disconnect any Bluetooth audio devices, such as headsets, that may be connected to your computer.

•Switch off any other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz radio spectrum, such as WiFi networks, mobile telephones, etc., or move their antennas further away from your computer.

USB DATA CONNECTION

When using the tablet with a computer that is not Bluetooth enabled or in a situation where a wireless network is prohibited (such as on an airplane) you can use Intuos4 Wireless as a wired USB tablet.

Attach the USB cable to the tablet. Then connect the other end to a primary USB port located directly on your computer, or to a powered USB hub. Be sure to turn on the tablet power switch.

The tablet is fully functional when connected to your computer. The tablet battery charges through the cable.

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.

Always be sure to use the USB cable that came with your Intuos4 Wireless tablet.
