POWER SAVING FEATURES

When configured for wireless operation, Bamboo uses a number of power saving features to conserve the
tablet battery charge and improve performance.
Power saving mode
Sleep mode
Conserve battery power by turning off the wireless module when you are done working.
Important: The tablet draws current from the battery whenever the wireless module is on. Even in
sleep mode a very small trickle of current will continue to flow, leading to eventual battery discharge
and possible failure. It is a good idea to charge the battery and turn off the wireless module before
leaving the tablet unused for a number of days. See

Depending on your tablet model, wake from power saving mode by touching the
tablet, pressing an ExpressKey, or placing the pen in proximity.
Tablet enters sleep mode:

tablet is within range of your computer. Then press the power button on the
Wacom wireless module. See
