Bit Pad Two 36 

 

 
 

 

The ON and OFF positions are labeled on each switch.  Set a slide switch by sliding it to the 
desired position.  Set a rocker switch by pressing down on the side next to the desired 
position.  Use a pointed instrument.  Do NOT, however, use a pencil or another instrument 
that could deposit residue, e.g. graphite or ink, on the switch.  This could cause the switch 
to malfunction. 

2.

 

Adjust the Tilt or Use Flat 

 
Bit Pad Two can tilt or lie flat.  The tilt mounting is already attached to the back of 
the tablet when shipped.  It tilts four to six degrees or ten to 14 degrees, depending 
on the position of the extenders. 
 
For the tablet to lie flat, the tilt mounting must be removed and the four rubber feet 
attached to the tablet bottom: 
 

 

Slide the tilt mounting toward the edge of the tablet where the data/power 
cable protrudes.
