Thank you for purchasing the MANHATTAN
®
Graphics Tablet, Model 176040, 174459 or 174572.
Ideally suited for photographers, designers and artists, this professional-quality tablet offers
a flexible way to work with Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and Flash; Corel Painter; Autodesk
Maya and 3D Studio Max; Pro/E; and other popular software applications. Its versatility can
also help a wide range of new users find innovative ways to maximize creativity and productivity.
The Right Set of Features and Design Tools
The lightweight RF wireless pen — with 1,024 pressure sensitivity levels and tilt — enables
the creation of computer graphics, technical drawings and other digital documents in a way
that’s more natural and instinctive. The programmable buttons are easily customized to suit
users and project requirements, and the wireless three-button mouse with scroll uses RF
technology instead of a ball or optics for smooth and accurate response, less maintenance
and reliable life.
The Graphic Tablet’s ambidextrous, low-profile design is a comfortable fit using either hand.
Automatic power-save reduces battery drain and keeps both devices ready for use. An integrated
menu strip contains built-in hotkeys for on-tablet control of frequent menu commands and
application functions. Programmable keys can be set to perform keystroke combinations or
launch a menu item without using the mouse and interrupting workflow. A transparent overlay
helps protect the active area and easily lifts to help secure documents and photos for tracing.
It’s Not Only for Artists
It’s more precise and intuitive than a traditional keyboard and mouse combination, as every
point on the tablet has a corresponding location on the screen. Cursor positions are matched
with pen movements, providing a “pen tablet” function that helps support handwriting recognition
for note-taking and meeting minutes, handwritten email and signatures, signature capture and
authentication, and pen navigation. The MANHATTAN Graphics Tablet complements digital
whiteboards in training, classroom and presentation applications.
Easy, Quick Installation for Comfort, Control and Productivity
Compatible with Windows and Macintosh systems, the Graphics Tablet includes a driver CD
and a USB connection for quick setup without the need for an external power supply. Its low
profile, generous cable and adjustable stand (Model 176040 only) combine to provide natural,
relaxed working positions to help reduce repetitive motion injury.
The easy-to-follow instructions in this user manual help make setup and operation simple, so
you’ll also soon be enjoying the benefits of all these popular features, complete with the
unsurpassed MANHATTAN
