BATTERY ACTIVATION
Your wireless pen tablet uses a rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Before you can charge or work 
with Intuos4 you must first remove the insulating safety tag from between the battery and tablet contacts.
1. Turn the wireless tablet upside down and open the battery cover. Use your fingernail to press inward on 
the latch bar and flip the cover outward to open.
2. Making sure the battery stays in place, gently pull on the safety tag to remove it from between the 
battery and contact terminals. Discard the tag.
3. Close the battery cover. Move on to charging the battery
.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before using Intuos4 for the first time in wireless mode you should fully charge the tablet battery. Do this by 
connecting the USB cable between Intuos4 and a primary USB port (located directly on your computer), or 
to a powered USB hub. 
Warning: See the safety precautions 
for Lithium-Ion batteries.
Tips: 
You can continue with the tablet software installation 
process and use Intuos4 through the USB connection while 
the battery is charging. It will take about 5 hours to fully 
charge an empty battery when the tablet is off, and about 6 
hours to fully charge it when the tablet is on. Actual charge 
time depends upon battery level and tablet use while 
charging.
Turning off the ExpressKeys display will reduce the 
charging time when using the tablet while it is charging. 
See advanced options
 for information on turning the 
ExpressKeys display on or off.
USB port
The battery status light glows yellow when charging, 
and glows green when fully charged. 
See battery status and wireless connection lights
.
The USB cable is used for charging the battery, 
and to operate Intuos4 as a wired USB tablet. 
The battery will charge whenever the USB cable 
is connected and the battery is not fully 
charged.
Note: Whenever the tablet is connected using 
the USB cable, the Bluetooth antenna 
and any Bluetooth connection to the 
tablet will be automatically switched off.
