Step 1: Insert the battery into the digital pen
English
To inse
rt the battery proceed as follows:
1. Remove the cap.
2. Push the cover upwards slightly
and lift it off.
Do not push the cover too far
upwards, as the tabs at the front
could otherwise break off.

of the pen!
Always ensure correct polar-
ity of the battery!
4. Place the tabs of the cover into
the front of the bottom section
and carefully push down until the
cover snaps into place on the
bottom section. Do not use any
force.
5. Replace the pen cap.
Silvercrest GTA2000 pen pad 11
English
Step 2: Install the pen pad driver and Macro Key Manager
Windows XP requires a driver to recognise the pen pad.
If you are using Windows Vista
mally not necessary to install a pen pad driver, as this is already included in
the operating system. However, we recommend installing the driver so that
you can ...
• obtain a higher pen pad resolution.
• install the Macro Key Manager which you can use to programme the 26
macro keys.
To install the driver, proceed as follows:
1. Place the driver CD in your CD drive.
The installation wizard normally starts automatically. If it does not start
automatically, proceed as follows:
TM
Home Premium or Windows 7, it is nor-
− Open the file browser (Explorer) (right-click on [Start] → "Explorer" menu).
− Click the icon of your CD or DVD drive in My Computer.
− Start installation by double-clicking the "setup" file.
The installation dialogue box opens:
[Macro Key Manager (32 Bit)] (Default): Install the pen pad driver and
Macro Key Manager on a 32-bit operating system.
[Macro Key Manager (64 Bit)]: Install the pen pad driver and Macro Key
Manager on a 64-bit operating system.
2. To install the "Macro Key Manager", click on "Macro Key Manager" in the
installation dialogue box.
3. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
4. In the final dialogue box check the "Yes, I want to restart my computer
now" option and then click [Finish].
The installation wizard is then closed and your computer is restarted. The
driver is not loaded by the operating system until the computer has been
restarted.
Step 3: Connect the pen pad
1. Insert the USB connector (H) of the pen pad into a
free USB socket on your computer.
The following message then appears after a short
time: "Found new hardware – USB-HDI (Human Device Interface)".
A new icon then appears in the system tray of the taskbar
The pen pad has then been recognised by your computer and can be used.
If the pen pad is not recognised, remove and reinsert the USB connector.
You can also try using a different USB socket on your PC.
Silvercrest GTA2000 pen pad 13
English
Step 4: Adjust the active area to the screen format
Today there are an increasing number of widescreen monitors on the market
in addition to the conventional monitors which have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (4
units wide and 3 units high).
You can change the format of the active area of the pen pad to suit your
screen size with the buttons "Wide" (F) and "4:3" (G) so that it can work correctly with both monitor versions:
• Press "Wide" (F) if you are using a widescreen monitor. The entire active
area (K) in the dark-grey frame can be used.
• Press "4:3" (G) if you are using a 4:3 monitor. The active area (J) in the
dotted frame can be used.
The active function is indicated when the respective LED lights up.
We recommend trying a few practical exercises with your new pen pad.
Launch the Windows "Paint" programme, for example, or any another
graphics programme and get used to the pen and pen pad.

& 64 Bit)] in the installation dialogue box.
3. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
4. In the last dialogue box click [Finish].

Working with the digital pen (for example when using "Free Notes")
The following section describes the basic steps for using the pen pad with
the "Free Notes" software.
After launching Free Notes by clicking [Windows start button] Æ "All Programs" Æ "Free Notes & Office Inc" Æ "Free Notes", the Free Notes screen
is opened:
The menu bar with icons for commands such as "New file", "Open file",
"Save file", "Print" etc. is located at the top of the window.
The toolbar with tools for drawing and making sketches is located at the
bottom of the window.
The active area is between the menu bar and the tool bar. This is where you
enter your notes or sketches.
Tip: You can familiarise yourself with the functions of the
Free Notes elements by hovering the mouse pointer over
the icons in the menu bar and the toolbar. After a short
pause a so-called "tooltip" then appears which provides information on the function of each element. In most cases
this information is sufficient to understand the function of
each element.

Configuration
Programming macro keys
You can assign a programme start command or a key combination (hotkey)
to a macro key (K1 to K26), for example "Save file". If you then click on a
programmed macro key with the pen, this command is executed.
The macro key commands are managed in so-called profiles (also called
managers). In the featured default managers (XP/2000, Vista, Photoshop
Elements, PhotoImpact XL SE, Corel Draw), the macro keys are sometimes
assigned standard commands which cannot be changed.
All other macro keys can be defined and edited. If the default managers do
not meet your requirements, you can create your own profiles.
Proceed as follows to programme macro keys:
1. Double-click the "Macro Key Manager" icon in the system tray of the
Windows taskbar
The "Macro Key Manager" is then launched. The following example describes how to use this programme.
.
2. Select a profile from the drop down list at the top left (shown here with the
entry "Vista").
Click the [New] button to create a new profile.
Click the [Delete] button to remove the profile shown in the drop down list
if you no longer need it.
We will now create a new profile for the "Free Notes" programme.
Silvercrest GTA2000 pen pad 23
English
3. Proceed as follows:
−Click the [New] button. The "New" dialogue box is opened (see be-
low).
−Enter the name of the profile under "File name". Enter the name of the
corresponding programme here, in this case "Free Notes".
−Click the [...] button and in the selection dialogue box which then
opens select the "HWEStartL.exe" file (this is the executable file of the
"Free Notes" programme). Close the selection dialogue box by clicking [OK].
The dialogue box "New" should then appear as follows:
−Close the dialogue box by clicking [OK].
The new profile "Free Notes" which you created in step 3 then appears in
the drop down list at the top left of the "Macro Key Manager".
4. In the drop down list below (shown here with the entry "K1"), select the
macro key to which you want to assign a command in the selected profile
(in this case "Free Notes").
5. To activate the other input fields, check the "Setting" box. Otherwise the
input fields are inactive (grey).
24Silvercrest GTA2000 pen pad
English
6. You can then assign a so-called "hotkey" or a "link" to the macro key K1.
A "hotkey" is a key combination defined by the programme or operating
system which executes a certain function. In Windows programmes, for
example, you can use the key combination <Ctrl>+<c> to copy the currently selected object (text, graphic, circle, line etc.) onto the clipboard
and then paste this object to the current cursor position with the key
combination <Ctrl>+<v>.
A "link" is a reference to an executable file. This link therefore also starts
a programme. If you click the [...] button, a dialogue box is opened in
which you can select the required programme.
The following section describes how to assign a hotkey, in this case the
function <Ctrl>+<P> (print), to the macro key K1.
7. Proceed as follows:
− Activate the "Use hotkey" radio button.
− Check the box in front of "Ctrl" and select "P" in the drop down list.
− In the "Hint" box enter the word "Print".
This text is displayed when the "Free Notes" profile is active and ...
... when you position the cursor on the macro key K1 in the preview
area of the "Macro Key Manager".
... when you position the pen on the macro key K1 when you are work-
ing with the pen pad.
−Click the [Confirm] button (save).
You can then programme more macro keys either in the same profile or
in a different profile which you can select in the top left drop down list. It is
only important that you click [Confirm] when you have specified the command.
Silvercrest GTA2000 pen pad 25
English
8. You then only have to activate the profile. To this purpose check the box
"Enable this manager".
Only one manager can be enabled at one time. Functions which you
have defined in a "disabled" manager are not executed.
9. If you do not want to make any more settings, click [OK] and confirm the
subsequent query asking if you want to save your settings with [OK].

Customising the digital pen
To customise the pen to your personal preferences, proceed as follows:
1. Right click the "Macro Key Manager" icon
in the system tray of the
Windows taskbar.
2. In the context menu click the menu item "Tablet ...".
The "Pen Pad" dialogue box then opens. The “About” tab is active.
Unit: Here you can select whether the tablet dimensions
are displayed in inches or centimetres. This does not
affect the function of the digital pen.
Tracking Mode: Here you can select the behaviour of the digital pen:
Pen (absolute): The digital pen acts on the active
area as if you were drawing on a
sheet of paper and goes to the position at which you want to start
drawing by moving your arm.
Mouse (relative): The digital pen acts on the active
area as if you were drawing on a
sheet of paper and goes to the position at which you want to start
drawing by moving the sheet.

3. Click the "Buttons" tab.
Side Button 1, 2: Here you can specify which command should be
executed when you press the respective button on
the digital pen.
[Default]: Click this button if you want to reset the pen to its
default settings.

automatically.
[Adjust]: Calibrate the pen.
Click pressure: Here you can set how hard you have to press the
pen on the active area or a sensor key to make a
click. The lower the value, the more probable it is
that you click with the pen without wanting to. The
higher the value, the more stress is exerted on the
nib and the pen pad each time you click with the
pen.
Note: The "Pointing sound" function can also be
completely deactivated (right mouse click on the
"Macro Key Manager" icon → menu item "Setting"
→ "Pointing sound").
[Test]: Click this button to test the set click pressure.
