ESTABLISHING A WIRELESS CONNECTION
Connect wirelessly with Intuos.
1. Fully charge the tablet battery. See Charging the battery
. When the battery is fully charged as shown by
the green LED, you can disconnect the USB cable and work wirelessly.
2. Press the power button on the Wacom wireless module. A wireless connection should be established
within 4 seconds. If not, the wireless module will turn off. If this should occur, see Wireless connection
problems.
3. Check the connection by using the pen on the tablet to move the screen cursor. See also Battery and
wireless connection status.
Intuos can operate wirelessly or in USB mode, but not both at the same time.
Wireless mode is activated when Intuos is properly configured for wireless operation and the USB cable
is disconnected. When the USB cable is disconnected, the tablet searches and connects to the
wireless receiver within 4 seconds. If the receiver is not found then the tablet enters sleep mode.
USB connection deactivates wireless mode, and activates USB mode.
Notes:
The wireless module and Wacom wireless receiver are factory paired and work together as a
discrete set. Pairing is not required.
Intuos can operate wirelessly for up to 10 meters (33 feet) away from your computer. It is not
necessary for Intuos to be “in sight” of the wireless receiver. The wireless module uses radio-
frequency technology, which can pass through non-metallic objects like desks.
Interference from other devices (especially audio devices) or metallic objects located in or along the
line of sight can negatively impact the tablet performance and operating distance. If you experience
connection problems, see Optimizing the wireless connection
.
When starting up your computer, wait until your operating system has completely loaded and then
turn on the wireless module (if not already on) to begin working wirelessly.
Important: The use of wireless devices is regulated in most countries. If Intuos is configured for
wireless operation and you will be traveling, check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any
restrictions that may apply to your product in the countries that you visit.
