Before you use a Cordless Pen, after you have not used it for several minutes, tap the Pen on any surface to wake up the Cordless Pen. Or, whenever the Pen seems not responding, tap it on any surface. This is because a Cordless Pen would turn itself off to save energy after it has not been used for several minutes. This action is not necessary for a Corded Pen.
Similarly, for a Cordless Mouse to be used with a Pen Device, always press the Left Mouse Button before attempting to use it.
When you write or draw with a Pen Device, try not to look at Tablet Plate. Focus your eyes on the screen instead. After a little practice, you will get more fun and higher efficiency because, with a pen, it is easier to concentrate on the text or picture you are working on.
For best results, when you double tap with a Pen (equivalent to double click on a mouse), try to keep Pen Tip on the surface of Tablet Plate, or at least try to lift Pen Tip as little as possible before the second tap. This would reduce the deviation between the positions of the two taps.
To store a Cordless Pen, make sure that the Tip does not touch anything. Especially do not stand the Pen on a surface with the tip down. A constant, though small, pressure applied to the Pen Tip will cause a constant drain on the battery inside. We recommend that you put the Pen in the Pen Holder specially designed for this purpose, or store it with the Pen Tip pointing upward, or lie it horizontally with the Pen Tip free of any other objects.
Similarly for the Cordless Mouse, avoid pressing on ANY of the buttons when it is not in use.
When you are browsing a document or a Web page, it is especially convenient to use a Pen. All you do is press and hold Barrel Button 1, and hover the Pen over Pen Area, or move the Cordless Mouse while pressing the Middle Mouse Button. With Microsoft Internet Explorer, for instance, the Web page will scroll up and down, and left and right, corresponding to your Pen or Mouse movement. The exact behavior of Pen Scrolling function varies with the application program. Notably, Microsoft Word supports only vertical scrolling, and NetScape Navigator 4.5 does not support Pen Scrolling. See the section Pen Scrolling for more details.
After you use Pen Scrolling without tapping or pressing the Left Mouse Button for a few minutes, you may find the Cordless Pen or Mouse stop functioning all in a sudden. Just tap on any surface or press the Left Mouse Button to wake up the Pen or the Mouse.
When drawing pictures or signing your name, try to hold the pen vertically for best results.
Certain mouse drivers, notably those that come with certain Logitech mouse models, If you wish to have both such a mouse and the Pen Tablet operable at the same time, remove the non-standard mouse driver and replace it with a standard mouse driver, such as one that comes with Windows system.
A Pen Tablet with USB interface does not conflict with another mouse in these ways.
You may freely choose to use any one of the Pen, the Cordless Mouse that comes with the Pen Device, and a regular mouse.
