Tablet Introduction

This product is a pressure sensitive Bluetooth Drawing Tablet, designed for a variety of applications, including drawing, signing, and computer control.
To optimize your Drawing Tablet experience, we strongly advise you to read this instruction manual in detail before using the product. The user manual contains display information for the Windows operating system only. Unless otherwise specified, this information is also applicable to Mac OS.
Our goal is to continuously improve the quality of our products and the user experience. Please note that we reserve the right to change product specifications without prior notice.

In summary:
When using this product for drawing, the strokes will vary in thickness or intensity depending on the pressure exerted by the pressure sensitive stylus (the pressure sensitivity feature is referenced in section "Pressure Sensitivity").
