Pad
Light and Tone Indicators
The Status Lights
The four Status Lights across the top of the Pad to the left of the Pen Tray indicate the
status of various aspects of Pad and Pen operation. They may take several seconds to
light up and display their status.
The Power Status Light
The green
Power Status Light
, the status light on the far left, flashes when the
Pad is on and the electronic Pen is not
in prox
(just above the Pad’s workspace
surface). It is solid green when the Pen (or another Interwrite Learning pointing
device) is
in prox
or touching the Pad’s workspace surface. When the Pad is powered
off or in Sleep Mode, the Power Status Light is off.
The Connection Status Light
The
Connection Status Light
flashes when the Pad connects, disconnects, or
beeps. Otherwise, it is not on.
The Pad Battery Status Light
The
Pad Battery Status Light
is on only while the Pad is plugged in for charging.
It turns off when the Pad is fully charged and remains off during normal Pad
operation. When the Pad battery is low and needs to be recharged, the Pad
Battery Status Light will slowly flash.
How it Works on the Mac
The Interwrite Pad is
discovered
when the signal sent from the Bluetooth device
installed on the Mac is answered by the Pad’s Bluetooth device. An exchange of
device addresses takes place. Device Manager displays the Pad’s address in the Pad’s
Properties
profile. The Pad’s Bluetooth device stores the Mac’s Bluetooth address. The
Mac – or more correctly, the Bluetooth device on the Mac – and the Pad are now
linked
. If the Pad becomes disconnected, is powered off, or is asleep (in Sleep Mode),
pressing the
Connect
button on the Pad will turn it on and reconnect it to the Mac
that discovered it.
If you were to take your Pad to another location with a different Mac and Bluetooth
device, it would not be able to link to this new Mac. It has to be
discovered
by the
new Mac. Be aware, though, that when your Pad is discovered by the second Mac, it
will lose its link to the first one.
The Disconnect Button
The Disconnect Button breaks the connection between the Pad and the com-
puter. It does not put the Pad into Sleep Mode, nor does it power off the Pad.
