Make sure the USB cable is connected properly. Also make sure the USB port on your 
computer  can  supply  the  500mA  the  panel  requires.  Some  laptops  do  not  allow  this. 
See the section “USB hubs and extenders (or repeaters)” 
 
If the panel still doesn’t work after checking the above then contact Tangent support. 

 

12. 

Care of your panel 

Your panel should not be cleaned with harsh abrasives or chemical cleaning products. If 
they become dirty wipe them with a soft damp cloth. 
 
Sharp objects, such as watch straps and jewellery, will scratch the plastic so be careful 
not to bring such items in to contact with the panel. 
 

12.1 Cleaning the balls 

From  time  to  time  you  may  need  to  clean  the  balls  and  the  trackerball  unit  that  holds 
them. 
 
To do this first unplug the panel and remove the ball. 
 
Clean  the  ball  with  a  soft  damp  cloth.  Then  rub  the  ball  between  your  hands  –  this 
deposits natural oils from your skin on to the surface of the ball which will help it to run 
smoothly. 
 
To clean inside the trackerball unit use a damp cotton bud, paying close attention to the 
three white balls the red ball sits on, and the lens which houses the optical sensor. Do 
not try and remove the lens and do not press too hard on it. Be gentle and do not have 
too much water on the cotton bud – it just needs to be slightly damp. 

13. 

Firmware updates 

The  firmware  in  your  Ripple  panel  was  the  most  up  to  date  version  when  your  panel 
was manufactured. It  is possible  however  that  a  newer  version may be  available from 
our website www.tangentwave.co.uk. 
 
Check your panel firmware version with what is on the website. 
 
Your  version  is  on  the  serial  number  label  on  the  bottom  of  the  panel.  Look  for  the 
number after “f/w: “. 
 
Make sure you follow the firmware update instructions that come with the update.
