Charging the battery
Before using the tablet battery for the first time, Wacom recommends that you plug in the power adapter
and allow the battery to charge. You can continue with the installation process and you can work with the
tablet while the battery is being charged. The battery will take approximately five to six (5 to 6) hours to fully
charge. Note that fully charging or discharging the battery does not extend the battery life as Li-Poly
batteries do not have a memory.
Note:
To check the current battery charge status, open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the T
ABLET
tab. See
working with tablet properties
.
Tip:
Plug in the power adapter and recharge the battery before it gets too low. This will ensure the tablet
battery is always ready for mobile operation.

To charge the battery:
Plug the round end of the power adapter
into the tablet power connector port. Then connect one end of
the adapter’s power cable to the power adapter, and the other
end to an active power outlet.
Note:
You should charge the battery whenever its charge is low,
as indicated by a low battery alert on your screen. When the
power indicator light starts flashing, the battery is nearly empty
and the tablet will soon cease to function properly.
The charging indicator glows orange when
charging, and green when fully charged.
