Chapter 2 Using the Stylistic 3500 Pen Tablet This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system functions of the Stylistic 3500 pen tablet. You should familiarize yourself with this information before you attempt to operate the system. System States 2 Before you begin using the Stylistic 3500 pen tablet, review the different system states (or modes) that the pen tablet can use.
• Off state All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to the stylus or other input. The system boots at the next system power-on. Note: The system consumes the same amount of power whether it is in Save-to-Disk mode or the Off state. Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
Powering Up the Pen Tablet 2 Follow the procedure below to start the Stylistic 3500 pen tablet. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in the Off state or in Save-to-Disk mode and it is safe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continuously), do not perform this procedure.
Suspending System Operation 2 The Stylistic 3500 pen tablet allows you to suspend the system operation without closing programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be changed. To suspend system operation: 1. Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out the Standby command from your operating system or power management program.
system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation: • You can remove the battery pack while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk modes in order to install a charged battery pack. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery pack. • Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of inactivity.
Resuming System Operation 2 To resume system operation, (from either Suspend-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk modes), press the Suspend/Resume button. • From Suspend-to-RAM mode Status lights indicate that the system state is changing. It may take up to a minute before the system returns to the On state and system operation resumes. Note that the display turns on shortly before the stylus becomes active due to the power-up sequences observed by the system.
To toggle between using the stylus for inking and using it as a mouse, click on the small pen icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen. Here are some hints on using the stylus similar to a two-button mouse on a desktop system: • To select an object, tap the mouse tip on the object once. This functions like a mouse button click with the left mouse button. • To “double-click” an object, tap twice on the object quickly.
To Calibrate the Stylus 2 1. Open the Control Panel from the Start|Settings menu, and double-tap the Pen Configuration icon. Select the Calibration property sheet, then click on Pen Calibration. 2. Position the Stylistic 3500 pen tablet as you normally would during use. Be sure to hold the stylus at the angle that you regularly use. Touch the screen only with the stylus tip; inadvertently touching the screen with your finger or hand during the calibration process, may result in faulty calibration. 3.
Charging the Battery Pack 2 The Stylistic 3500 battery pack can be charged while it is installed in the pen tablet. To do so: 1. Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter, to the DC input connector on the pen tablet. The DC Input icon appears in the Status display. If the battery pack charge level is below 90%, the battery pack begins charging and the Charging icon appears in the Status display.
• The Stylistic 3500 battery pack uses Lithium ion battery cells which have no “memory effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery pack before you begin charging. Removing and Installing the Battery Pack 2 The battery pack can be removed from the pen tablet and swapped with a charged battery pack. The battery pack can then be charged in an external charger if one is available. To remove the battery pack from the pen tablet: 1.
Battery Release Latch Battery Release Button Battery Cover Figure 2-1 Removing the Battery Pack Tips for Conserving Battery Power 2 You can extend the charge life of your battery pack by conserving battery power. (Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power: • Use an external power source such as the AC adapter to power the system when possible.
Operation of the Bridge Battery When installed in the pen tablet, the battery pack provides power to some system components—even when the system is in the Off state. When the battery pack is removed, power is supplied to these components by a “bridge” battery that is built into the pen tablet. The bridge battery is not designed for long-term operation. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following measures: Note: The system arrives with the bridge battery in a discharged state.
PC Card Slot 2 The Stylistic 3500 pen tablet PC Card slot allows you to install a Type II PCMCIA CardBus card. To install a PC card, position the side with the arrow facing up (i.e., when looking at the tablet’s display side, the arrow on the card should be visible.) Slide the card into the PC Card slot, and press it firmly to ensure proper seating. To install a radio PC card, refer to the documentation accompanying your radio PC Card.

Chapter 3 Care and Maintenance This chapter gives you pointers on how to care for and maintain your Stylistic 3500 pen tablet. Protecting the Display Screen 3 The Stylistic 3500 pen tablet is designed to provide you with years of service. Using a screen protector will help ensure that the screen remains as clear as possible. When installed, the screen protector becomes a durable, replaceable writing surface that protects the display screen from abrasion.
Caution The Stylistic 3500 pen tablet is not waterproof. Do not pour liquids on the system or wash it with a heavily soaked cloth. 3. Remove the protective coating from the adhesive side of the screen protector first. 4. Apply the screen protector to the display screen surface. When doing so, orient the screen protector with the adhesive side of the screen protector facing the display screen and the notched corner of the screen protector toward the lower left corner of the display screen. 5.
Avoiding Overheating 3 The Stylistic 3500 pen tablet monitors its internal temperature. As the internal temperature approaches the tolerable limits of heat-sensitive components, system functions are automatically limited or turned off to prevent damage. To avoid overheating the pen tablet, do not obstruct the air vents on the top and bottom edges of the pen tablet.
Troubleshooting 3 Solutions to some common problems are described in the following sections. If you are experiencing a problem with your Stylistic 3500 pen tablet that you cannot solve by taking the actions described, contact your local help desk or your reseller for further assistance.
Infrared Data Transfer Is Not Working 3 If you are experiencing problems transferring data over the system’s infrared interface, note the following: • Can the IrDA port on the pen tablet “see” the IrDA port on the other device? A direct line-of-sight path must exist between the IrDA port on the pen tablet and the IrDA port on the other device. • The distance between the two devices must not be more than approximately 3 feet.
Configuring Peripherals Interfaces 3 Certain peripheral devices can be disabled during the BIOS Setup. If the peripheral interface you want to use does not appear to be working with your peripheral device, ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS. Contact your local help desk or reseller if you need assistance using BIOS Setup.
