TESTING YOUR TABLET AND TOOLS
1. Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded.
2. Check the connection. The tablet status ring should glow whenever the tablet is properly connected
and your computer has registered it as a USB device. In standby mode, the ring slowly pulses at a low
light level. In active mode, the ring glows constantly at a brighter light level. If not:
• Make sure the tablet USB cable is securely connected to the tablet and to an active USB port on your
computer.
• If you are connecting the tablet to a USB hub (or hub device such as a keyboard with USB ports), be
sure the USB hub is properly connected to your computer and is active.
• Connect the tablet to a different USB port or try connecting to the USB port on another computer.
• If the tablet status ring does not illuminate after your computer is on and has finished booting up,
your USB port may be disabled. Verify that you have connected the tablet to an active USB port.
