Digital Notepad and Pen Features
Getting started
After 30 minutes of idle
time, the digital notepad
turns off (the status display
goes blank) to conserve
the battery. Push the
power button to turn it back
on.
This chapter provides basic information about using the
ThinkScribe digital notepad and digital pen, including:
• Getting started
• Pre-assigning pages to ink files
• Marking actions as you write
• Turning pages
• Understanding the status display messages
• Viewing ink on the computer
• Changing the notepad
• Caring for the digital pen
• Ordering supplies
The best way to get started is to complete the Getting Started Guide,
located on the digital notepad. The booklet provides guided
practice for using the digital notepad to take notes, turn pages,
mark words or phrases as a To Do or Message, and view your first
pages in the Ink Manager Pro viewing window. In addition:
• Lift the notepad to see the ThinkScribe reference label that
contains useful information about the digital notepad.
• Remove the Quick Reference Card, the last page in this
book, and take it with you as a handy reminder of shortcuts
and other important information.
The digital notepad turns on automatically when you open your
TransNote. When you are ready to start writing, check the status
display to see if it contains information about the current page.
If the status display is blank, turn on the digital notepad by
pressing the power button, located at the top of the ThinkScribe.
