I. General Information
1. Overview
Welcome to the world of tablet and digital pen! You will be able to discover how easy it is to control
your MAC using a wireless digital pen instead of a mouse. The function of the digital pen is able to
draw a line very thin, thick, and light or dark (called pressure sensitivity). You also can write, sign,
annotate documents, and draw, sketch or paint as easily as you would on normal paper and simulate
the functions like a pencil, marker, brush, or watercolor pen by using commercial software packages
such as Adobe® PhotoShop™, Corel® Painter™ and Paint Shop™.
With the new touch function, you are able to use gestures with fingertips to explore and navigate
easily to flip, zoom in/zoom out and move to manage your tasks among several applications in
Windows 7/8 and Mac X 10.5 and above version.
Touch Functions

Verifying Hardware and Driver Functions
Follow these steps to verify the tablet is installed properly:
The LED light on the tablet is the main indicator for hardware operation and depending on your pen
tablet model may be located at a different place than shown in the above diagram. This LED normally
stays off, and will only turn on or off in response to various conditions. Watch the status of the LED
on the tablet as you go through these test steps:
6.1. Tap on any surface with the tip of the pen, or press the left button of the mouse, to “wake it
up” if it has gone into standby mode. A built-in power saving function may have forced the pen or
mouse into standby mode if either of them has not used for a period of time.
6.2. As soon as the pen tablet activates, the LED will be light briefly, and will then go and stay off
again.
6.3. When the tablet detects the presence of the digital pen or mouse, the LED will stay on. This
happens either when the pen tip is hovering or is placed in the tablet working area.
6.4. When you press a button on the pen barrel, or click a mouse button, the LED will light.
6.5. Hovering and moving the pen or the mouse in the working area will cause the cursor on the
screen to move accordingly.
ENGLISH

6.6. When you put your fingertip(s) on the working area of tablet, the LED will stay on.
The tablet will automatically detect your fingertip(s) or the digital pen, you can only use one
method while working. The digital pen is set as the priority input tool when the gesture function is
enabled.
7. Usage Tips
7.1. Wake up the digital mouse from standby mode
If the digital mouse does not react after you do not use it for a while, press the left button to
“wake” it up from the standby mode.
7.2. Tapping before you use the digital pen
Before you use the digital pen, or after not using it for several minutes, tap the pen on any
surface of the tablet to “wake” it up from the standby mode.
7.3. Double tapping
When you double tap with the digital pen (equivalent to a double click with a mouse), try to keep
the pen tip away from the tablet’s surface, or at least try to lift the pen tip as fast as possible
before the second tap.
7.4. Storing the digital pen
To store the pen, make sure the pen tip does not touch anything, and especially do not let the pen
stand in a cup or penholder with the tip down. Even though the possibility is low, pressing the pen
tip will still cause a constant drain on the pen’s battery. Place the pen in a penholder, or turn the
pen tip pointing upward or horizontally with the pen tip free of any pressure by other objects.
7.5. Scrolling function of digital pen
The digital pen has the same function as a mouse for scrolling pages. Press the first button of the
digital pen (same function as the middle button of the mouse) over the tablet’s working area.
7.6. Using a pen without an ordinary mouse
You may install the digital pen, digital mouse, and normal mouse in your computer at the same
time and you can also remove them to different computer as well. However, only one device will
be able to work at the same time.

IV. Common Problems and Solutions
(1) Why does the cursor not move while moving the digital pen on the tablet after installation?
Verify that the hardware functions properly, and check the tablet control panel (the Mac system is
in the application of the pen tablet settingÆTablet setting) to verify that the tablet driver has been
loaded. If the tablet does not appear, remove and re-install the driver.
(2) No matter how hard I press on the pen tip, the line does not become thicker, so why is
there no pressure sensitivity?
Test the pen’s pressure sensitivity as described in the section “Verifying pressure sensitivity”
above. If the testing is not ok, contact customer service.
(3) Why does the cursor move erratically or jitters when the pen is held still?
Keep the tablet at least five inches away from a monitor, modem, and other electronic devices,
because certain devices may emit electromagnetic interference.
(4) How can I get updated software?
You can download the latest driver from our website www.geniusnet.com.tw.
Follow these instructions:
1. Uninstall your current tablet driver: Click˰
