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 batter
y
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.
3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the compartment door. Move on to charging
the battery.
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.

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.
Note:
To check the current battery charge status, open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the T
ABLET
tab. See working with tablet properties.
Tip:
Plug in the power adapter and recharge the battery before it gets too low. This will ensure the tablet
battery is always ready for mobile operation.
Power connector port.
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.
The charging indicator glows orange when
charging, and green when fully charged.

Power saving features
To conserve battery power when the tablet is not in use, the tablet will turn itself off after 30 minutes without
user input. To resume operations, press the power button.
Note: Graphire Bluetooth will not switch off automatically when the power adapter is connected and
supplying power to the tablet.
When there is no wireless connection for more than two (2) seconds, such as when the computer is
switched off or the tablet is moved out of range, Graphire Bluetooth switches itself off. To resume
operations, make sure that your computer’s Bluetooth support is working and that your tablet is within range.
Then press the power button.
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.
Power indicator light
Check the power indicator light to understand the operational status of the tablet:
Power indicator light Tablet status
Steady blue. Normal operation, no user input.
Green. Pen tip, tool buttons, or tablet ExpressKeys in use.

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 A
DD 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 C
ONNECT 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 C
ONNECT 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 I
NSTALL TABLET link, and follow the prompts
to install the driver software.

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. Some Bluetooth devices can be
upgraded to comply with newer specifications. Contact the manufacturer of your Bluetooth support for
details.
Uncheck the M
AXIMUM DATA RATE checkbox in the Pen Tablet control panel.
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 so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. Your monitor should be
positioned 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.
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.
See working with the tablet for more information.
Here are some other points to keep
in mind:
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.

Using the cordless pen
Your Graphire pen is cordless, battery-free, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques for
using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using the pen will
become second nature to you. If you are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following
pages.
Holding the pen
P
ointing
Clicking
Dragging
Using the side switch
Drawing with pressure-sensitivity
Erasing
Eye-hand coordination exercise
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. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.
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 also makes the
pen available for quick, easy access
when you are working.
Position for drawing.
Position for erasing.
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 tip, do not store the pen in a container
where it will rest on its tip. 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.

Clicking
You typically click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it.
Clicking. To click, tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to
register a click. (If C
LICK 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 a mouse click.
Adjust your speaker volume as necessary.) 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. To double-click, 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.
Dragging
Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. 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.
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.
Windows: You can make navigating with the pen easier by
configuring 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. Select the TOOLS pull-down
menu, and FOLDER OPTIONS.... Then from the GENERAL tab
select the option SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT TO
SELECT).
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.

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.
To assign new switch functions, see customizing the side s
witch.
Drawing with pressure-sensitivity
The Graphire pen responds to the nuance and inflection of 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. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brush
characteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by the pen’s
pressure-sensitivity – you can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the pressure you exert
upon the pen.
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.
The upper switch position is set to DOUBLE CLICK, and
the lower switch is set to RIGHT CLICK by default.
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, first 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 feel, see adjusting tip feel, eraser feel,
and double-click.
Visit our web site for a list of graphics applications that support
pressure. See product information.

Erasing
The eraser on the Graphire pen 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.
For Windows, you can also use the eraser in many standard office applications. The eraser will not be
pressure sensitive in these applications, but you can use it to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells.
Eye-hand coordination exercise
If you use a mouse, you may remember how long it took to get used to positioning the screen cursor.
Your Graphire pen, likewise, will take a bit of practice to master the technique of positioning the screen
cursor in P
EN MODE. This may seem difficult at first, but it is more natural and faster than in MOUSE MODE.
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.
For more information on using your eraser, see adjusting
tip feel, eraser feel, and double-click.
Visit our web site for a list of graphics applications that
support the eraser (see product information). If the eraser
is not supported in an application, you can still use the
eraser for navigating and drawing.

Using the ExpressKeys
By default, the customizable ExpressKeys are set to perform the FORWARD and BACK functions within most
Internet browsers.
You might 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.
Depending on the function you have chosen, you can also press the keys with your secondary hand to
toggle between tools or change tool properties while you are using your primary hand to work with your pen
on the tablet.
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 C
TRL key and another to simulate an ALT keystroke,
when you press both keys a C
TRL+ALT is simulated.
See working with tablet properties for more details on the available settings.

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:
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 T
EMPLATES 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.
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 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.

Adjusting tip feel, eraser feel, and double-click
To adjust the tip or eraser sensitivity of your Graphire pen, 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.
Customizes the amount
of pressure needed to
click or draw. Drag the
slider to a softer or firmer
setting.
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.
Double-clicking: 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
brushstrokes in some drawing applications. 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.
When checked, an
audible “click”
sound will be
heard whenever a
pen click occurs
and your computer
speakers are
turned on.
Adjusts the size of the

pressing the upper or lower side switch.
When you bring the pen tip within 5 mm
(0.20 inch) of the tablet surface without
touching the tablet and press the upper or
lower side switch, the selected function

the side switch to double-click automatically
by selecting DOUBLE CLICK.
