CONTENTS INDEX 8 WORKING WITH GRAPHIRE CONTENTS INDEX 9 Battery and power management This section contains important information about the battery and power management features of the Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet. Be sure to review the following items: Installing the battery Charging the battery Power saving features Power indicator light See also working with the tablet for more information about tablet features. Installing the battery Your wireless pen tablet uses a rechargeable Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) battery as the power source for mobile operation, and a power adapter for charging the battery and to operate the tablet using outlet power. Before installing or working with Graphire Bluetooth, you must first install the rechargeable battery that came with your tablet. To install the tablet battery: 1. Turn the wireless tablet upside down and slide open the battery compartment door (see picture below). 2. Align the notch on the battery cable plug with the cutout in the tablet connector, then press the plug into the connector as shown. Important: Use only the correct battery provided by Wacom and be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet. Warnings: Do not attempt to install the battery backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. NEVER attempt to use other battery types in your tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. See replacing the tablet battery for additional battery cautions and warnings. 3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the compartment door. Move on to charging the battery. CONTENTS INDEX 9 WORKING WITH GRAPHIRE CONTENTS INDEX 10 Charging the battery Before using the tablet battery for the first time, Wacom recommends that you plug in the power adapter and allow the battery to charge. You can continue with the installation process and you can work with the tablet while the battery is being charged. The battery will take approximately five to six (5 to 6) hours to fully charge. Note that fully charging or discharging the battery does not extend the battery life as Li-Poly batteries do not have a memory. To charge the battery: Plug the round end of the power adapter into the tablet power connector port. Then connect one end of the adapter's power cable to the power adapter, and the other end to an active power outlet. Note: You should charge the battery whenever its charge is low, as indicated by a low battery alert on your screen. When the power indicator light starts flashing, the battery is nearly empty and the tablet will soon cease to function properly. ...
