BATTERY AND POWER MANAGEMENT  
This section contains important information about the battery and power management features of your  
Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet. Be sure to review the following items:  
See also working with the tablet for more information about tablet features.  
INSTALLING THE BATTERY  
Your wireless pen tablet uses a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery as the power source for mobile  
operation. The power adapter is used 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.  
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.  
cautions and warnings.  
3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the compartment door. Move on to charging

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 work with the tablet while the  
battery is charging. 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-Ion 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.  
Recharge the battery before it gets  
too low – this will ensure the tablet  
battery is always ready for mobile  
operation  
Power connector port.  
Note: 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.  
The charging indicator glows  
orange when charging, and green  
when fully charged.

The battery immediately begins to charge whenever the power adapter is connected and the battery is not  
fully charged. The battery will charge whether the tablet is switched on or off. The charge time will vary  
depending upon the battery level and various factors such as the ambient temperature and whether the  
tablet is in use while charging. If the battery level is low, the battery will take approximately five to six hours  
to fully charge.  
The charging indicator lights as follows:

LED glows orange.  
LED glows green.  
LED off.  
Power adapter is connected and battery is charging.  
Power adapter is connected and battery is fully charged.  
The battery is not charging.  
Check that the power adapter is properly plugged into the tablet and  
connected to an active power outlet. If the LED still does not light, the  
battery should be replaced. See replacing the tablet battery.  
Warnings:  
Do not attempt to charge the tablet battery with any power adapter other than the one supplied with  
your Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury  
may result.  
If the tablet becomes excessively warm or emits an unusual smell while the battery is charging,  
immediately disconnect the power adapter from the power outlet and shut down the tablet.  
Contact Wacom Technical Support for assistance (see technical support options).  
For additional battery precautions, see replacing the tablet battery.  
A new, fully charged battery should provide approximately 25 hours of constant use.  
When the battery charge falls below 20%, an alert message will appear on your computer display screen  
to remind you the battery needs recharging.  
When the battery is nearly empty, the power indicator light will start flashing – the tablet may stop  
operating properly and will soon switch itself off. You should immediately connect the power adapter;  
this will allow you to continue working while the battery is charging.  
Notes:  
When you are done working, turn off the tablet in order to conserve battery power.  
Even when the tablet is off, it still draws a small amount of current from the battery. It is a good idea to  
charge the battery before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days.  
If you will not be using your tablet for an extended period of time (a month or longer), Wacom suggests  
unplugging the battery from the tablet connector in order to conserve the charge and battery life.  
If your battery can no longer hold a charge, the battery should be replaced. See replacing the tablet

ESTABLISHING A BLUETOOTH CONNECTION  
The Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet connects to your computer via a wireless Bluetooth connection.  
Bluetooth is a radio-frequency technology, so it is not necessary for Graphire Bluetooth to be “in sight” of the  
Bluetooth antenna on your computer. The radio frequency can pass through non-metallic objects like walls,  
bookshelves, etc.  
Important:  
Graphire Bluetooth is a Class 2 Bluetooth device, and can operate for up to 10 meters (33 feet) from  
the Bluetooth antenna of your computer.  
Interference from other networks operating in the 2.4 GHz band, other Bluetooth devices connected  
to your computer (especially audio devices), or metallic objects located in or along the line of sight  
can negatively impact the tablet performance and operating distance.  
suggestions.  
Before connecting the tablet, make sure that your computer has a working Bluetooth configuration that  
meets Bluetooth Specification v1.1 or higher with Human Interface Device (HID) profile. If your computer  
does not have built-in Bluetooth support, you need to obtain and install a commercially available USB-to-  
Bluetooth adapter.  
The process of connecting Graphire Bluetooth to your computer is called “pairing”. Please read the  
instructions that came with your Bluetooth hardware and software for details on how to pair a device to your  
specific Bluetooth configuration. The following is an overview of the typical steps involved in the process.  
To establish a link between your wireless tablet and computer:  
1. Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded. Make sure that your computer’s  
Bluetooth wireless connection is working. You can test this using a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard.  
2. Press the CONNECT button located on the bottom of the tablet to place the tablet in discoverable mode.  
The tablet power indicator light will blink rapidly when the tablet is in discoverable mode.  
The tablet will remain in discoverable mode for three (3)  
minutes or until a pairing with your computer has been  
established. If pairing is not established within three (3)  
minutes, the tablet will turn itself off.  
The tablet can only be paired (linked) to your computer  
while the tablet is in discoverable mode.  
CONNECT button.

3. While the tablet is in discoverable mode, pair it to your computer. The following points provide a general  
overview of the pairing process. For detailed instructions on pairing a Bluetooth device to your  
computer, refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or Bluetooth support.  
Open the Bluetooth devices control panel. Some common access points to this control panel  
include: the task bar, menu bar, control panel, or system preferences pane of your computer’s  
operating system.  
From the Bluetooth devices control panel, start the process of adding a device. Common options to  
do so are ADD A BLUETOOTH DEVICE, BLUETOOTH SETUP, or SET UP NEW DEVICES.  
In the setup assistant that appears, carefully follow all directions to continue.  
If prompted for the device type to set up, choose “mouse”.  
When the tablet is discovered it will show up as WACOM PEN TABLET. Select it and continue to follow  
the prompts. If the tablet does not appear, you will need to refresh the assistant and again press the  
tablet CONNECT button.  
If prompted for an authentication code or passkey, select the “don’t use” or “no” option. The Graphire  
Bluetooth pen tablet does not require passkey authentication.  
If prompted for the device type services to add, choose the option for “tablet”. Otherwise choose  
“mouse”.  
After the wireless tablet has been successfully paired to your computer it will appear as a connected  
device in the Bluetooth devices control panel.  
4. Close the Bluetooth devices control panel and check the connection. Place the pen on the tablet – you  
should be able to move the screen cursor with the pen.  
Once you have established a connection between your wireless tablet and the computer, they will  
remember the connection – just as if you had connected a virtual cable between them. The tablet will  
remember which computer it is connected to, and will reject all attempts by other computers to connect  
to it.  
If the link is broken for more than two seconds (e.g., you shut down your computer, unplug your  
USB-to-Bluetooth adapter or otherwise switch off your Bluetooth support, or move the tablet too far  
away from the computer), the tablet will switch itself off.  
When starting up your computer, wait until your operating system has completely loaded and then  
push the tablet power button. The Bluetooth connection will automatically be reestablished.  
If you again press the CONNECT button, the virtual cable link will be broken and the tablet will once  
again become discoverable by any Bluetooth enabled computer.  
Important: Remember that the Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet driver software must be installed  
before you will be able to work with full tablet functionality and features such as pressure-sensitivity  
with the pen.  
5. If you have not already done so, install the pen tablet driver software. Insert the Wacom Pen Tablet  
Driver CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive, click on the INSTALL TABLET link, and follow the prompts  
to install the driver software.

16  
To disconnect the wireless tablet from a computer:  
You can break the connection between tablet and computer from either the tablet or from the computer to  
which it is linked:  
From the tablet, while the tablet and computer are linked, simply press the CONNECT button on the back  
of the tablet. A disconnect message will be sent to the computer.  
From the computer that the tablet is paired with, open the Bluetooth devices control panel and delete  
the pairing for the tablet.  
Notes:  
You can link up to seven Bluetooth devices, including multiple Graphire Bluetooth pen tablets, to a  
computer.  
The use of wireless devices is regulated in most countries. If you will be traveling with your wireless  
tablet, be sure to check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any restrictions that may apply to  
your product in the country of your destination.  
Products using wireless signals can interfere with the equipment on commercial aircraft, and  
regulations require that all wireless devices be turned off when traveling in an airplane. You can ensure  
the Graphire tablet wireless signal has been turned off by checking the power button (the power indicator  
light will be off) and ensuring that you do not press the power button during takeoff, transit, or landing.  
Do not use the Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet in a facility control system or any other environment  
that requires extremely high reliability, or where the use of a wireless device may cause interference; the  
wireless tablet may interfere with or cause other electronic devices to malfunction, or other wireless  
devices may interfere with or cause the tablet to malfunction. Where use is prohibited, power off the  
tablet (ensuring the wireless signal has been turned off) to prevent the possibility of it interfering with or  
causing other electronic devices to malfunction. Wacom does not accept any liability for direct or  
consequential damages. For details, please refer to your Warranty, located at the end of this manual.

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 from the line of sight between Graphire Bluetooth and your Bluetooth  
antenna or adapter.  
If you are using a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter, use a USB extension cable and place the Bluetooth  
adapter onto your desktop or somewhere in sight of Graphire Bluetooth.  
Use Bluetooth support that complies with Bluetooth Specification v1.2 or later. Some Bluetooth devices  
can be upgraded to comply with newer specifications. Contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth  
support for details.  
Use a Class 1 Bluetooth adapter 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.

SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA  
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your tablet, input tools,  
and keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. Position your display so you can view it  
comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain. For best results, orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the  
same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.  
Take short breaks between  
tasks to stretch and relax your  
muscles.  
Use a gentle grip when working  
with your tools.  
Alternate tasks and tools  
throughout the day.  
Maintain a good posture at all  
times. Minimize awkward  
postures and repetitive  
movements that cause  
discomfort.  
Change your position if you feel  
any discomfort due to your  
work position.  
Note: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or prevent, in whole or in  
part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions. Individual results may vary. Always obtain  
competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.  
USING THE CORDLESS PEN  
There are four basic techniques for using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. If you  
are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following pages.

19  
HOLDING THE PEN  
Hold the Graphire pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient  
location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press the switch while  
drawing or navigating with the pen. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.  
Position for drawing and navigating.  
Position for erasing.  
Your tablet also comes with an  
integrated pen storage  
compartment. When you are not  
using the pen, you can reach  
behind the tablet and press the pen  
into the storage compartment or  
lay it flat on your desk.  
Use the pen stand to store the pen between  
tasks. This makes the pen available for quick,  
easy access when you are working.  
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment, the pen stand, or  
lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen in a container  
where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving a Graphire tool on the tablet may interfere with screen  
cursor positioning when using other pointing devices. Also, leaving the pen on the tablet when not  
in use can prevent the tablet from switching off and cause the battery to drain down.

20  
POINTING  
The Graphire pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor two  
different ways, like a pen (PEN MODE) or like a mouse (MOUSE MODE).  
In PEN MODE, the tablet active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen; wherever you  
place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. This is  
the default setting for the pen.  
In MOUSE MODE, the default setting for the cordless mouse, you move the cursor with a “pick up and  
slide” motion similar to using a traditional mouse.  
Try moving the screen cursor by lifting  
the pen and placing the pen tip in a  
new location on the tablet. The cursor  
instantly jumps to the new location.  
When positioning the screen cursor and operating the side switch, the pen tip  
needs to be within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet surface. You do not need to  
touch the tablet with the pen tip in order to move the screen cursor or use the  
side switch.  
The cordless mouse works similarly to the pen, and works only over the  
active area of the tablet.  
5 mm (0.20 inch)  
Hints:  
If you find that using a pen is somewhat difficult, try the eye-hand coordination exercise.  
Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same  
direction as your hand movements on the tablet.

21  
CLICKING  
Click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it.  
Clicking. Tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to register  
a click. (If CLICK SOUND is selected in the Pen Tablet control panel and your computer speakers are on, then  
you will hear a “click” sound when the pen tip is pressed hard enough to generate a button click.) Try clicking  
on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip. The folder  
should highlight when you press.  
Double Clicking. Quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This is like clicking twice  
with a mouse button. Try double-clicking on a folder icon to open it.  
Hints:  
Press the upper side switch to double-click. This is easier than  
tapping twice with the pen tip, and is the preferred method of  
double-clicking with a pen.  
You can configure Windows to select when the pen is over an  
icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this  
feature, first open a folder.  
For Windows Vista, from the ORGANIZE pull-down menu  
choose FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS.... From the  
GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT  
TO SELECT).  
For other Windows versions, from the TOOLS pull-down  
menu choose FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab  
select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).  
DRAGGING  
To drag, first point to an object. Then press the pen tip to the tablet and slide it across the tablet surface.  
The selected object will move across the screen. To select text, move the screen cursor to the beginning of  
a text line, then drag the pen across the tablet until the text is highlighted.  
First, try moving an icon on the  
screen. Then, within a document,  
select some text by pressing and  
dragging the pen tip across the text.

22  
USING THE SIDE SWITCH  
The Graphire pen is equipped with a DuoSwitch. This switch has two programmable functions that can be  
selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use the DuoSwitch whenever the pen tip is within  
5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet active area. You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use  
the switch.  
The upper switch position is set to  
DOUBLE CLICK, and the lower switch is  
set to RIGHT CLICK by default.  
Hints:  
Press the upper side switch to double-click. This is easier than tapping  
twice with the pen tip.  
Use a right-click to bring up application-specific or icon-specific menus.  
To assign new switch functions, see customizing the side switch.  
DRAWING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY  
The Graphire pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush  
strokes. Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to the pressure you place on the pen.  
The digital ink tools in Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 also respond to the pressure you place on  
the pen.  
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, rst  
select a pressure-sensitive tool from  
your application’s tool palette. Then  
draw along the surface of the tablet  
while applying various amounts of  
pressure downward on the tip of the  
pen. Press hard for thick lines or  
dense color. Press gently for thin  
lines or softer color. To adjust the tip  
Visit our web site for a list of graphics  
applications that support pressure.

23  
ERASING  
The Graphire pen eraser works like the eraser on a pencil. In graphics applications that support the pen  
eraser, you can erase intuitively and naturally. When you use the pen eraser, the application will  
automatically switch to the eraser tool. In applications that support pressure sensitivity, you can select  
pressure-sensitive tools in an application’s tool palette to vary the width and depth of your erasures as you  
change the amount of pressure you exert upon the pen.  
In Microsoft Office 2007 running on Microsoft Windows Vista, you can use the eraser to erase notes or  
sketches made with digital ink, and to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells within an application.  
You can also use the eraser in many other standard office applications. The eraser may not be pressure  
sensitive in these applications, but you can use it to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells.  
For more information on using your  
Visit our web site for a list of graphics  
applications that support the eraser  
eraser is not supported in an  
application, you can still use the  
eraser for navigating, drawing, and  
annotation.  
EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE  
This exercise is designed to retrain your eye-hand coordination for using the pen:  
1. Open any graphics application. Use the line tool to draw a rectangular grid with line spacings of about  
20-25 mm (3/4 to 1 inch). You can use your traditional mouse to do this.  
2. Choose a free-hand tool in your application and use the pen to draw a dot at each grid intersection.  
3. Draw an X at each grid intersection.  
4. Now draw a circle around each intersection. Your screen should look like this:  
5. Clear your screen and make a simple drawing of your own. The more you use your pen, the easier  
drawing and navigation will become.

WORKING WITH THE TABLET  
The middle area of the tablet is the working, or active, area for the pen and cordless mouse. Rest your hand  
on the tablet and then work with the pen on the active area of the tablet just as if you were using a ball point  
pen on a piece of paper. Wherever you place your pen on the tablet active area, the screen cursor will jump  
to the corresponding point on the screen. See using the cordless pen and using the cordless mouse for  
more information.  
Your tablet also features customizable ExpressKeys located above the tablet active area. By default, the  
ExpressKeys are set to simulate the FORWARD and BACK functions within Internet browsers.  
FORWARD (right key) or BACK (left key)  
within your Internet browser. You can  
also customize the keys to perform  
frequently used functions or  
keystrokes.  
ExpressKeys can be used separately  
or in combination with your Graphire  
pen. For example, you can set the  
pair of keys to commonly used  
keystrokes (such as [ and ] to  
decrease and increase your brush  
size in Photoshop. In this manner you  
can change the properties of your pen  
as you work without removing your  
hands from the tablet.  
The transparent photo frame allows  
you to customize Graphire  
Bluetooth with your favorite photos  
See battery and power management for detailed information about tablet power management.

USING THE EXPRESSKEYS  
By default, the customizable ExpressKeys are set to perform the FORWARD and BACK functions within most  
Internet browsers.  
The left key default is BACK within  
Internet browsers  
The right key default is FORWARD.  
The ExpressKeys are fully customizable. Consider some of these alternate ways of using the ExpressKeys:  
Set a key to a commonly used keyboard shortcut.  
Set a key to launch a commonly used file or application, such as your email program.  
If you prefer not to (or cannot) use the side switches on your Graphire pen, then set a key to right- or  
double-click.  
Choose from any of the other available functions.  
Note also that the tablet ExpressKeys are chordable, which means you can press both keys simultaneously.  
For example, if you program one key to simulate the CTRL key and another to simulate an ALT keystroke,  
when you press both keys a CTRL+ALT is simulated. An ExpressKey which is set to a modifier or button click  
function can be pressed simultaneously while using the pen to modify the pen function.

CHANGING THE TABLET UNDERLAY  
Some configurations of the tablet come with a printed underlay that can be seen through the transparent  
photo frame. You can replace the underlay with a favorite photo or design of your own by following these  
steps:  
1. To remove the photo frame,  
slide the two photo frame locks  
located on each side of the tablet  
to the unlocked position (toward  
the top of the tablet). Then grasp  
Photo frame lock  
(one on each side).  
the upper edges of the photo  
frame with your finger tips and lift  
the photo frame away from the  
tablet.  
2. Lift away the printed underlay and  
replace it with a new photo or  
design of your choosing.  
3. To replace the photo frame,  
insert the tabs located on the  
lower edge of the cover into the  
slots on the tablet. Then lower  
the photo frame into place and  
slide the photo frame locks to the  
locked position (towards the  
bottom of the tablet). This will  
protect your photo or design as  
you work on the tablet.  
To create a new tablet underlay, follow  
the tips in the next section.  
CREATING A NEW TABLET UNDERLAY  
If you would like to create an image that you can use for the tablet underlay, you can use the templates  
provided on the Wacom Pen Tablet Driver CD as a starting point:  
1. Insert the Wacom Pen Tablet Driver CD into your computer and locate the TEMPLATES folder.  
2. Open the folder to access the template files. Template files come in various formats that can be modified  
within any graphics application that supports .jpg or .psd formatted files.  
3. Choose one of the pre-designed or blank templates. Then modify it to create your own design.  
4. When you are done, print out your new tablet underlay. Use photo-quality paper for best results.  
5. Trim the new underlay to size and place it beneath the tablet photo frame. See above.

ADJUSTING TIP FEEL, ERASER FEEL, AND DOUBLE-CLICK  
Select the PEN tab. To create broad brush strokes or to click with a light touch, use a soft tip setting. For  
maximum control while drawing thin lines, use a firm tip setting. To erase with a broad stroke or to click with  
a light touch, use a soft eraser setting. For maximum control while erasing, use a firm eraser setting.

Adjusts the size of the  
double-click area and  
the double-click speed.  
A larger setting makes  
double-clicking easier.  
Hints:  
Use a soft TIP FEEL for a wider range of pressure values with most pressure-sensitive applications.  
In some applications, a soft pressure setting can make the pen overreact – any small press on the pen is  
magnified on the screen. If you experience this, try a firmer TIP FEEL setting.  
To make double-clicking easier, expand the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance).  
Note: A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of your brush strokes in some drawing  
applications. This may also cause a delay at the beginning of a drag action or inking stroke. If you notice such  
effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and using the side switch to double-click (see using the side  
switch). You can also set one of the ExpressKeys to double-click.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Most of the time your tablet will work flawlessly. But if you are having trouble, Wacom recommends you do  
the following:  
1. If the pen tablet driver failed to load properly, rst perform the recommended action in any error message  
that may appear on your screen. If that does not solve the problem, refer to the troubleshooting  
procedures in this chapter.  
2. Look in the troubleshooting tables. Your problem may be described there and you can try the solution  
offered.  
3. Open the Wacom tablet Read Me file for late-breaking information.  
4. Test your tablet and input tools. See testing your tablet and testing your tools.  
5. If you are having a compatibility conflict between Graphire and a new hardware or software product,  
check if a newer pen tablet software driver is available. See obtaining driver downloads for information  
on downloading an updated software driver. Wacom periodically updates the software driver to maintain  
compatibility with new products.  
6. Check the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on the Wacom web site for your region.  
7. If you have tried the suggestions in this manual and still cannot resolve the problem, then contact  
Wacom for Technical Support. See technical support options and the Read Me file for information on  
where to obtain support for your region.

TESTING YOUR TABLET  
Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded. Make sure that your computer has a  
working Bluetooth connection, either through built-in Bluetooth support or a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter.  
If you have another Bluetooth device such as a mouse or keyboard, make sure it is working.  
1. Check the AC power adapter. With the power adapter connected to the tablet and an active power  
source, the charging indicator will glow a steady green if the battery is fully charged. (For Windows  
systems, a power plug icon is also displayed on the Windows Taskbar.) If the battery is charging, the  
indicator will glow orange. The indicator will be off if the power adapter is not plugged in or is not  
connected to an active power outlet.  
2. Check the Bluetooth connection. Switch on the Graphire Bluetooth pen tablet by pressing and  
releasing the power button. If the power indicator light stays on for more than five seconds, your  
Bluetooth connection is working. Otherwise, it is not.  
If necessary, troubleshoot the connection as follows:  
If you have an external USB-to-Bluetooth adapter, make sure it is plugged into an active USB port or  
hub on your computer.  
If you have built-in Bluetooth support, make sure it is turned on.  
Make sure your Bluetooth support is working properly. Test the functionality with a different wireless  
Bluetooth device or check the documentation that came with your Bluetooth support to make sure it  
is working correctly.  
On Windows systems, make sure that you have installed your Bluetooth wireless device drivers  
correctly. (Some USB-to-Bluetooth adapters are supported in Windows XP, SP-2 and later operating  
systems, and do not need a driver. Refer to your Microsoft documentation for details.)  
Make sure that your Bluetooth configuration supports Bluetooth Specification v1.1 or higher, and the  
HID profile.

TESTING YOUR TOOLS  
If your tool does not work as you expect, it is a good idea to first check the assigned functions or to reset the  
tool to its default condition using the Pen Tablet control panel.  
1. Check the pen.  
Move your pen across the active area of the tablet; the screen cursor should move in the  
corresponding direction on your display screen.  
Press the pen tip against the surface of the tablet. The power indicator light should turn from blue to  
green.  
Next, without applying pressure to the pen tip, hold the pen tip within approximately 5 mm (0.20 inch)  
above the tablet surface and press the side switch. The power indicator light should again change  
from blue to green.  
Turn the pen over and press the eraser against the surface of the tablet; the power indicator light  
should change from blue to green.  
If not, you may have a defective pen or tablet. See technical support options.  
2. Check the cordless mouse.  
Move the cordless mouse across the active area of the tablet; the screen cursor should move in the  
corresponding direction on your display.  
Test the buttons on your cordless mouse by clicking each button. The tablet power indicator light  
should turn green when a button is pressed.  
If not, you may have a defective cordless mouse or tablet. See technical support options.

APPENDIX  
This section contains information and tips on tablet installation, caring for your tablet and tools, a how-to on  
uninstalling the tablet software, your license and warranty, and more.  
TABLET INSTALLATION  
For detailed instructions, please review the Quick Start Guide that came with your tablet. See also  
CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND TOOLS  
Keep your Graphire tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools and cause  
excessive wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help to prolong the life of  
your tablet surface and tools; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water.  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, as they may damage the plastic case.  
Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is  
best. Also, your Graphire tools and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can break the  
pen. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.  
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the tablet, pen, or cordless mouse. Be especially  
careful of getting the tablet, mouse, or pen buttons (including the tip and eraser) wet – they contain  
sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.

56  
REPLACING THE PEN TIP  
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a flat point, you can  
replace it with another nib. Simply clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument  
and pull it straight out of the pen. Then slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen – firmly  
push the nib until it stops.  
Important: When the  
Graphire pen is not in use,  
place it in the pen storage  
compartment, the pen stand,  
or lay it flat on your desk.  
Leaving the pen on the tablet  
when not in use can prevent  
the tablet from switching off  
and cause the battery to  
drain down. To maintain the  
sensitivity of your pen, do not  
store the pen in a container  
where it will rest on the tip or  
eraser.  
Warning: Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip or side switch. The pen tip (nib) or side  
switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.  
BATTERY LIFE INFORMATION  
All Li-Ion batteries age over time and typically need to be replaced approximately once every two or three  
years, whether they are used or not. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts  
Notes:  
When the battery is connected, the tablet will use a small amount of current even when the tablet is  
switched off. It is a good idea to charge the battery before leaving the tablet unused for a number of  
days. There is a built-in protection circuit that will prevent the battery from over-discharging. Once a  
Li-Ion battery has been over-discharged it cannot be recharged.  
If you will not be using your tablet for an extended period of time (a month or longer), Wacom suggests  
unplugging the battery from the tablet connector in order to conserve the charge and battery life.  
Store the battery in a cool, dry place.  
Li-Ion batteries are not affected by cycling or other methods used to improve the performance of different  
battery types.

57  
REPLACING THE TABLET BATTERY  
If your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be adequately charged, it will need to  
be replaced. Be sure to use only a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed for your tablet. For  
information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories.  
Warning: NEVER attempt to charge other battery types in your tablet with the power adapter.  
If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.  
To replace the tablet battery:  
1. First turn the wireless tablet upside down and slide open the battery compartment door.  
2. Carefully remove the old tablet battery by disconnecting the cable from the tablet.  
3. Align the notch on the new battery cable plug with the cutout in the tablet connector, then press the plug  
into the connector as shown.  
Important: When replacing the tablet battery, 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.  
Properly dispose of the old battery in accordance with the  
battery manufacturer recommendations, and with the  
warnings listed below. Keep batteries out of the reach of  
children, and promptly dispose of old batteries.  
Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling  
programs for batteries – when disposing of batteries, follow  
all applicable laws and recycle your old batteries whenever  
possible.  
4. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the compartment door.  
Warnings:  
When installing the battery, do not attempt to install it backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so,  
you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.  
When disposing of the Li-Ion battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that  
may contain metal objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the  
battery terminals, the battery could short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you  
cover the terminals with adhesive tape to insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.  
Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire,  
disassembly, shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or  
ignite, and potentially cause a fire or personal injury.  
If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not  
rub the eye. Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.

PEN AND DIGITAL INK CAPABILITIES IN WINDOWS VISTA  
Microsoft Windows Vista provides extensive support for pen* and touch input. When using the pen tablet  
with a computer running Windows Vista, your experience is enhanced by powerful note taking, handwriting  
recognition, fast navigation, and other digital inking options designed to give you quick, intuitive results with  
the Graphire pen.  
Note taking. Use your Graphire pen to jot notes and capture quick sketches in Microsoft Journal.  
Journal simulates a physical notebook, but with the advantages of digital note taking – you can choose  
from a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser  
end of your Graphire pen. Journal also includes a powerful search engine that can even locate your  
handwritten content.  
Handwriting recognition. Because Windows Vista includes powerful handwriting recognition  
capabilities, you can use your Graphire pen to quickly enter handwritten information anywhere the  
computer accepts typed input. You can convert your handwritten content to typed text at any time.  
Gestures. Use your Graphire pen to make simple gestural movements on the tablet to trigger  
customizable actions for navigation, editing, and other functions. To customize your gestures, select the  
FLICKS tab in the PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.  
Digital Ink in Microsoft Office 2007. Use your Graphire pen to full advantage with the enhanced digital  
mark-up and inking tools available in Microsoft Office 2007 applications running on Windows Vista.  
Found on the REVIEW tab within applicable applications, these tools provide a consistent set of inking  
options. For quick access, you can add specific inking tools to the Quick Access Toolbar located at the  
top of each application.  
Note: The following workarounds in the pen tablet driver improve drawing performance in Vista:  
The Vista Pen Flicks and Press-and-hold-to-right-click features are disabled in graphics applications  
using the Wintab API.  
There is no pressure sensitivity in Journal and other Vista Ink features when both the Flicks and Press-  
and-hold-to-right-click features are disabled in the Vista PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.  
* Pen features supported in all versions of Windows Vista except Vista Home Basic.
