Tablet Power-On
The DrawingBoard VI power switch is located at the rear of the tablet on
the Controller Connector Panel. When turned On, the DrawingBoard VI’s
Indicator light will begin blinking.
If you are using a cordless transducer, turn it on by pressing any button
on the tool. The Indicator light will glow steadily when the transducer is
inside the Active Area of the tablet. When the transducer moves outside
the Active Area, the Indicator light will go off.

puter.

to the appropriate jack on the Connector Panel. Turn the Power
Switch on. The digitizer will beep once, indicating it has power.
