I. General Information 1. Overview Thank you for purchasing this Monoprice Graphic Tablet! A Graphic Tablet, with its accompanying wireless digital pen, is a natural and intuitive input device for drawing and image editing tasks. It is also an excellent alternative input device over a mouse when performing conventional computer tasks.

2. Pen Tablet Functions After installing the device driver, your pen tablet can perform the following functions: Direct Pointing: You can move the cursor to any location on the screen by hovering the digital pen tip over the tablet's surface. Three-Button Mouse Commands: Your pen tablet provides all the functionality of a three-button mouse using the pen tip and two buttons. Pen Scrolling: You can scroll in documents and applications by pressing the middle button on the digital pen while moving the pen over the tablet's surface. Pressure Sensitivity: The tablet and pen feature 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity so, like a real pencil, the harder you press down the darker and thicker the lines, while minimal pressure will produce faint, thin lines.

3. System Requirements Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later Available USB port CD-ROM drive

9. Usage Tips The following guidelines will help obtain the best results in using this Graphic Tablet: Double Tapping: A quick double tap of the pen tip is the equivalent of a double-click on a mouse. Scrolling: The pen can be used to perform the same scrolling function available with an ordinary wheel mouse. Using With A Mouse: In addition to the tablet and pen, you can also have a mouse connected and installed. However, only one device will function at a time. Do not connect more than two input devices at the same time as it could cause the cursor to jitter or freeze. Power: It is recommended to power off the pen and tablet when not in use. Storing: Do not store the pen in such a way that pressure could be applied to the tip. When not in use, store the pen in a pen holder or place it horizontally on a flat surface. When storing for a long period of time, remove the pen tip using the instructions found in section III below.
