58IndexContents58IndexContentsWORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLEDISPLAY TOGGLE is available only on multiple monitor systems. This feature allows you to work with your tablet on all displays or on one display at a time. (See working with multiple monitors.)After setting an ExpressKey to DISPLAY TOGGLE, you can then press that button to sequentially toggle the current tablet mapping between a base mapping (the current setting from the MAPPING tab) and other monitors. For example: 1. The entire display area of a multi-monitor system is set up for extended mode and assigned to the active area of the Intuos4 tablet.2. Pressing a tool button to which the DISPLAY TOGGLE function has been assigned toggles the tablet mapping to the next display in sequence
59IndexContents59IndexContentsIn the Wacom Tablet control panel, the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab is automatically available when the Intuos4 tablet is installed on a multi-monitor system. This tab lets you set which monitor(s) will be included in the toggle sequence.On the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab all monitors are selected in the toggle sequence by default. Uncheck any monitor you want removed from the toggle sequence.• The base mapping is the tablet and display mapping that is defined in the MAPPING tab. By default, this would include all monitors unless you have defined a specific monitor as your primary monitor in the MAPPING tab.• As you toggle to the next monitor, each tool’s active tablet area is mapped to that monitor (in PEN MODE).• Toggling one more time after the last checked monitor returns the system to the base mapping.Note that any of the following actions will return the toggle sequence to the base mapping:• Launching a graphics application that supports pressure sensitivity.• Logging out of or rebooting the system.• Switching users (Fast User Switching).• Placing the system in sleep mode.• Changing the MAPPING or DISPLAY TOGGLE tab settings.• Changing the resolution or number of displays on your system.• Using the MODE TOGGLE... function.• Selecting PEN MODE or MOUSE MODE from the Radial Menu.Tip: To toggle between monitors without including the ‘full display’ option, disable the first display on the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab. Then go to the MAPPING tab and set the current SCREEN AREA to the first display.Important: When using application-specific settings with DISPLAY TOGGLE, be sure that each customized application in the APPLICATION list (including ALL OTHER) has a tool button assigned to DISPLAY TOGGLE. The easiest way to do this is to assign DISPLAY TOGGLE to an ExpressKey prior to creating any application-specific settings.

82IndexContents82IndexContentsBATTERY LIFE INFORMATIONAll batteries age over time and gradually lose their ability to hold a charge. The typical life span of a Li-Ion battery is two to three years, whether it is used or not.You will need to purchase a new tablet battery when it is no longer capable of holding an adequate charge. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories. Batteries can also be purchased at various retail outlets.• The life and performance of Li-Ion batteries is not improved by cycling (discharging and recharging) the batteries.• Cool storage and keeping the battery in a partially (not fully) charged state when not in use can slow the aging process.• Always charge your tablet battery whenever the low battery warning appears on your display screen, or at the latest when the tablet battery status light begins to flash red. To reduce the power consumption of an empty battery, the tablet will enter an auto shut-down state whenever the battery level is very low. In this state the tablet will continue to draw a small amount of power. The power switch must be turned off and the battery must be recharged.• The tablet will draw current from the battery whenever the power switch is in the on position. A small current is drawn even in auto sleep and tablet auto shut-down modes, and will slowly discharge the battery. It is a good idea to charge the battery and move the tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days.• If the battery charge is low and the battery remains in the tablet for a long period of time (a week or longer) with the power switch in the on position, the small trickle of current used by the tablet is likely to discharge the battery so far that an internal protection circuit within the battery is activated. If this occurs you will no longer be able to charge the battery. To preserve your battery, be sure to move the tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a week or longer.• For extended storage (a month or longer), Wacom recommends that the battery be at least half full before you move the power switch to the off position. You do not need to remove the battery because the power switch disconnects the battery from the tablet circuit when in the off position.• An internal protection circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below a minimum safety level. Once a Li-Ion battery has been over-discharged it cannot be recharged.Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.
83IndexContents83IndexContentsREPLACING THE TABLET BATTERYIf your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be charged or no longer holds a charge, it will need to be replaced. Be sure to use only the rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed for your tablet. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories. Batteries can also be purchased at various retail outlets.Important: Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet.To replace the tablet battery:1. Turn the wireless tablet upside down and open the battery cover. Use your fingernail to press inward on the latch bar and flip the cover outward to open.2. Carefully remove the old tablet battery.3. Align the battery terminals of the new battery with the spring-loaded tablet contacts, and press the battery into the compartment as shown. To avoid damaging your tablet, first insert the terminal end of the battery.4. Close the battery cover.Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling programs for batteries. Properly recycle the old battery by following all applicable laws, and in accordance with the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND TOOLSKeep your Intuos4 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools and cause excessive wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help to prolong the life of your tablet surface and tools; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, because they may damage the plastic case.Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. Also, your tools and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can break the pen. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the tablet or input tools. Be especially careful of getting the tablet or tool buttons (including the pen tip and eraser) wet – they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.Important: When replacing the tablet battery, be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.
84IndexContents84IndexContentsREPLACING THE PEN TIPThe pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the nib when it gets too short (less than 1 mm (0.04 inch)) or develops a flat point.1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the Intuos4 pen or Airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.Warning: Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.To order replacement parts, see available parts and accessories.Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet can prevent the tablet from switching off and cause the battery to discharge. To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their tip or eraser.If you find it inconvenient to use the desktop pen stand, you can also attach the pen holder to the tablet and place the pen in the holder loop for safe-keeping.Nib extractorReplacement nibs• 5 standard nibs, black• 1 flex nib, white and black• 1 stroke nib, white• 3 hard felt nibs, grayPen nib 1 mm (0.04 inch) or less.

Although the display has been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different pixel brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the EXPRESSKEY DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS option to the lowest comfortable light level. See advanced options for details.Note: The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there has been no user input for 1 minute, and it will turn off the ExpressKeys display if the pen tablet has been idle for 2.5 minutes.USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROLSome software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.• When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically update to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be overridden, depending on the application.• When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set to SKIP.• An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is active and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work in), your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.• To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an ExpressKey to SHOW SETTINGS and press the key at any time.Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to opt-out or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom tablet with the application. See the documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to customize or disable this feature.If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior, you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the behavior of the integrated application.Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to APPLICATION DEFINED will allow the integrated application to control the function.

90IndexContents90IndexContentsUSING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PENThe optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional degree of control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example, tilting the Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip controls the brush size.Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location for you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to paint and draw with pressure sensitivity.The optional Intuos4 Art Pen responds to the pressure, tilt, and rotation you apply to the pen.Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.See product information to learn more about which applications currently support the Airbrush fingerwheel or Art Pen rotation. See ordering parts and accessories for information on where to purchase an Intuos4 Airbrush or Art Pen.Side switchThe default settings are:Windows: RIGHT CLICKMacintosh: DOUBLE CLICKFingerwheelRoll the fingerwheel backwards to increase ink flow or brush size, and forward to reduce it.Your index finger should operate the wheel independently of the pressure you apply to the tip.EraserReplaceable nibThe Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the pen axis. As you draw within an application that supports rotation sensitivity, simply twist the Art Pen to create lines that narrow or broaden.For example, while painting you can vary the rotation of a non-circular brush to change the stroke thickness. Depending on the brush shape characteristics you have selected in your application, you can simulate calligraphy pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-circular brushes or tools.Side switchesThe default settings are:Upper: DOUBLE CLICKLower: RIGHT CLICKEraserDoes not support rotation.Replaceable nib

102IndexContents102IndexContentsSAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIESAlways follow proper use and handling of the tablet battery:• Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire, disassembly, shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or ignite, and potentially cause a fire or personal injury.• Use only the correct battery provided by Wacom and be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.• Do not use a battery that is visibly deformed in any manner. A deformed battery has the potential to rupture, or generate heat, smoke, or fire.• Do not attempt to install the battery backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.• Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet. NEVER attempt to use or charge other battery types in your tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. Doing so will also void your warranty.• Do NOT attempt to charge the tablet battery with any power adapter that does not meet the specifications required for your Intuos4 tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. Doing so will also void your warranty. You can charge the tablet by connecting it (using the provided USB cable) to any powered USB port.• Do not overcharge the tablet battery. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.• If you will be traveling with your wireless tablet, be sure to check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any air or travel restrictions that may apply to Lithium-Ion batteries.• If the tablet becomes excessively warm or emits an unusual smell while the battery is charging, immediately disconnect the USB cable (if in use) and shut down the tablet. The same applies if the tablet is connected to an after-market power adapter. Contact Wacom Technical Support for assistance (see technical support options).• If a Li-Ion battery is discharged below a certain minimum charge, it cannot be recharged. An internal protection circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below a minimum safety level.• Properly recycle the old battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer recommendations, and follow any applicable warnings. • Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.• When recycling the Li-Ion battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that may contain metal objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the battery terminals, the battery could short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you cover the terminals with adhesive tape to insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.• If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not rub the eye. Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.See also warnings and cautions.

58IndexContents58IndexContentsWORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLEDISPLAY TOGGLE is available only on multiple monitor systems. This feature allows you to work with your tablet on all displays or on one display at a time. (See working with multiple monitors.)After setting an ExpressKey to DISPLAY TOGGLE, you can then press that button to sequentially toggle the current tablet mapping between a base mapping (the current setting from the MAPPING tab) and other monitors. For example: 1. The entire display area of a multi-monitor system is set up for extended mode and assigned to the active area of the Intuos4 tablet.2. Pressing a tool button to which the DISPLAY TOGGLE function has been assigned toggles the tablet mapping to the next display in sequence
59IndexContents59IndexContentsIn the Wacom Tablet control panel, the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab is automatically available when the Intuos4 tablet is installed on a multi-monitor system. This tab lets you set which monitor(s) will be included in the toggle sequence.On the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab all monitors are selected in the toggle sequence by default. Uncheck any monitor you want removed from the toggle sequence.• The base mapping is the tablet and display mapping that is defined in the MAPPING tab. By default, this would include all monitors unless you have defined a specific monitor as your primary monitor in the MAPPING tab.• As you toggle to the next monitor, each tool’s active tablet area is mapped to that monitor (in PEN MODE).• Toggling one more time after the last checked monitor returns the system to the base mapping.Note that any of the following actions will return the toggle sequence to the base mapping:• Launching a graphics application that supports pressure sensitivity.• Logging out of or rebooting the system.• Switching users (Fast User Switching).• Placing the system in sleep mode.• Changing the MAPPING or DISPLAY TOGGLE tab settings.• Changing the resolution or number of displays on your system.• Using the MODE TOGGLE... function.• Selecting PEN MODE or MOUSE MODE from the Radial Menu.Tip: To toggle between monitors without including the ‘full display’ option, disable the first display on the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab. Then go to the MAPPING tab and set the current SCREEN AREA to the first display.Important: When using application-specific settings with DISPLAY TOGGLE, be sure that each customized application in the APPLICATION list (including ALL OTHER) has a tool button assigned to DISPLAY TOGGLE. The easiest way to do this is to assign DISPLAY TOGGLE to an ExpressKey prior to creating any application-specific settings.

82IndexContents82IndexContentsBATTERY LIFE INFORMATIONAll batteries age over time and gradually lose their ability to hold a charge. The typical life span of a Li-Ion battery is two to three years, whether it is used or not.You will need to purchase a new tablet battery when it is no longer capable of holding an adequate charge. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories. Batteries can also be purchased at various retail outlets.• The life and performance of Li-Ion batteries is not improved by cycling (discharging and recharging) the batteries.• Cool storage and keeping the battery in a partially (not fully) charged state when not in use can slow the aging process.• Always charge your tablet battery whenever the low battery warning appears on your display screen, or at the latest when the tablet battery status light begins to flash red. To reduce the power consumption of an empty battery, the tablet will enter an auto shut-down state whenever the battery level is very low. In this state the tablet will continue to draw a small amount of power. The power switch must be turned off and the battery must be recharged.• The tablet will draw current from the battery whenever the power switch is in the on position. A small current is drawn even in auto sleep and tablet auto shut-down modes, and will slowly discharge the battery. It is a good idea to charge the battery and move the tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days.• If the battery charge is low and the battery remains in the tablet for a long period of time (a week or longer) with the power switch in the on position, the small trickle of current used by the tablet is likely to discharge the battery so far that an internal protection circuit within the battery is activated. If this occurs you will no longer be able to charge the battery. To preserve your battery, be sure to move the tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a week or longer.• For extended storage (a month or longer), Wacom recommends that the battery be at least half full before you move the power switch to the off position. You do not need to remove the battery because the power switch disconnects the battery from the tablet circuit when in the off position.• An internal protection circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below a minimum safety level. Once a Li-Ion battery has been over-discharged it cannot be recharged.Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.
83IndexContents83IndexContentsREPLACING THE TABLET BATTERYIf your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be charged or no longer holds a charge, it will need to be replaced. Be sure to use only the rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed for your tablet. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories. Batteries can also be purchased at various retail outlets.Important: Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet.To replace the tablet battery:1. Turn the wireless tablet upside down and open the battery cover. Use your fingernail to press inward on the latch bar and flip the cover outward to open.2. Carefully remove the old tablet battery.3. Align the battery terminals of the new battery with the spring-loaded tablet contacts, and press the battery into the compartment as shown. To avoid damaging your tablet, first insert the terminal end of the battery.4. Close the battery cover.Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling programs for batteries. Properly recycle the old battery by following all applicable laws, and in accordance with the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND TOOLSKeep your Intuos4 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools and cause excessive wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help to prolong the life of your tablet surface and tools; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, because they may damage the plastic case.Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. Also, your tools and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can break the pen. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the tablet or input tools. Be especially careful of getting the tablet or tool buttons (including the pen tip and eraser) wet – they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.Important: When replacing the tablet battery, be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.
84IndexContents84IndexContentsREPLACING THE PEN TIPThe pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the nib when it gets too short (less than 1 mm (0.04 inch)) or develops a flat point.1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the Intuos4 pen or Airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.Warning: Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.To order replacement parts, see available parts and accessories.Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet can prevent the tablet from switching off and cause the battery to discharge. To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their tip or eraser.If you find it inconvenient to use the desktop pen stand, you can also attach the pen holder to the tablet and place the pen in the holder loop for safe-keeping.Nib extractorReplacement nibs• 5 standard nibs, black• 1 flex nib, white and black• 1 stroke nib, white• 3 hard felt nibs, grayPen nib 1 mm (0.04 inch) or less.

88IndexContents88IndexContentsOPTIMIZING THE EXPRESSKEYS DISPLAYThe pen tablet ExpressKeys display uses Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Although the display has been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different pixel brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the EXPRESSKEY DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS option to the lowest comfortable light level. See advanced options for details.Note: The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there has been no user input for 1 minute, and it will turn off the ExpressKeys display if the pen tablet has been idle for 2.5 minutes.USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROLSome software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.• When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically update to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be overridden, depending on the application.• When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set to SKIP.• An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is active and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work in), your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.• To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an ExpressKey to SHOW SETTINGS and press the key at any time.Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to opt-out or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom tablet with the application. See the documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to customize or disable this feature.If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior, you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the behavior of the integrated application.Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to APPLICATION DEFINED will allow the integrated application to control the function.

102IndexContents102IndexContentsSAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIESAlways follow proper use and handling of the tablet battery:• Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire, disassembly, shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or ignite, and potentially cause a fire or personal injury.• Use only the correct battery provided by Wacom and be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet, and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.• Do not use a battery that is visibly deformed in any manner. A deformed battery has the potential to rupture, or generate heat, smoke, or fire.• Do not attempt to install the battery backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so, you may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.• Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet. NEVER attempt to use or charge other battery types in your tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. Doing so will also void your warranty.• Do NOT attempt to charge the tablet battery with any power adapter that does not meet the specifications required for your Intuos4 tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. Doing so will also void your warranty. You can charge the tablet by connecting it (using the provided USB cable) to any powered USB port.• Do not overcharge the tablet battery. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.• If you will be traveling with your wireless tablet, be sure to check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any air or travel restrictions that may apply to Lithium-Ion batteries.• If the tablet becomes excessively warm or emits an unusual smell while the battery is charging, immediately disconnect the USB cable (if in use) and shut down the tablet. The same applies if the tablet is connected to an after-market power adapter. Contact Wacom Technical Support for assistance (see technical support options).• If a Li-Ion battery is discharged below a certain minimum charge, it cannot be recharged. An internal protection circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below a minimum safety level.• Properly recycle the old battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer recommendations, and follow any applicable warnings. • Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.• When recycling the Li-Ion battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that may contain metal objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the battery terminals, the battery could short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you cover the terminals with adhesive tape to insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.• If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not rub the eye. Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.See also warnings and cautions.
