SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2
Supplied software
The Macro Key Manager is special application software for your new graphics tablet. It is used to program frequently used key combinations (e.g. copy = <Ctrl>+<C>) or hyperlinks to so-called macro keys and save these as a macro key profile.
Free Notes / Office Ink is a tool for making sketches or notes by hand on your computer – either in the same way as on a sheet of paper (Free Notes) or directly on the open screen (Office Ink). You can switch interactively between both applications.
Power Presenter RE II is a program for editing presentations.
CorelDRAW® Essentials OEM is a powerful software package for creating illustrations, page layouts and editing photos. It is based on the basic functions of CorelDRAW®Graphics Suite.
Licence terms – licence agreement
The licence terms of software explain the ways in which you are entitled to use the software. This already touches on a significant difference in the viewpoint of the customer/user and the manufacturer. While the customer/user thinks he has bought the software and thus owns it, the manufacturer of the software only sells/offers its customers a “restricted” right of use under specific circumstances. Ordinarily the software may only be used in conjunction with the purchased system. In addition, use may be restricted for commercial use. Under certain circumstances the software may not be used to control machines or for the development of weapons. The terms also contain restrictions with respect to the liability of the manufacturer.
If you do not fully agree with the licence agreement, then according to the manufacturer you are not entitled to use the respective software. Under certain circumstances individual clauses in the licence agreement may be questionable from a legal standpoint. This may mean that these are invalid and are then no longer binding for you. If you do not agree to the licence agreement, you may be entitled to return the software.
Please note that this right to return the software concerns the manufacturer of the software, not the manufacturer of the hardware. In this case you should contact the manufacturer of the software to exercise your right to return the software. Since your system was sold at a package price, a price evaluation of individual components and software components is not a part of the offer.
Comparison prices are therefore intentionally not specifiable and for this reason the difference can also not be reimbursed.

Safety instructions
General precautions
Keep electrical devices out of the reach of children. Never allow children to use electrical devices unsupervised. They cannot always recognise possible hazards.
Small parts can be fatal if swallowed. Also note that there is a risk of suffocation if air passages are blocked by the plastic packaging.
New devices may emit a slight odour during the first few hours of operation. This is normal and disappears after a short time. Until then ventilate the room regularly.
EMC and safety precautions
In the event of any modification to the device that was not approved by the manufacturer, compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed. To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), please pay attention to the instructions in the manual.
Operating environment/Environmental conditions
Protect the device against moisture, vibration, dust, heat and direct sunlight, as it could be damaged.
The device should not be used outdoors or in tropical climates.
Operational safety
Always read and comply with the instructions in the documentation of your computer before connecting the graphics tablet.
If this product is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, condensation can lead to the accumulation of moisture which can cause a short circuit. In this case wait until the device has reached ambient temperature before use.
To disconnect a cable, always pull the connector and never the cable. Ensure that the cables are not kinked. Always position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or cause an obstruction.
Never place any burning objects such as candles or any objects containing liquids such as vases, cups or glasses on or near the device.
Never exert excessive pressure on the nib of the digital pen, as this will damage the nib.
Keep the device away from high-frequency and magnetic interference sources (e.g. TVs, mobile phones, loudspeakers) to prevent functional faults.
English - 9
SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2
Only use a battery of the same type and the same charging capacity. Always ensure correct polarity of the battery. Remove the battery if you will not be using the device for a prolonged period of time, as it can leak. Contact with the skin will cause chemical burns. For this reason it is absolutely essential to remove leaking batteries with acid-resistant protective gloves.
Never try to recharge batteries and never throw them into an open fire (risk of explosion).
Remember to protect the environment. Used batteries should not be disposed of in domestic waste. They must be taken to a collection point for old batteries.
Prior to use
The graphics tablet helps you to edit graphics and photos. You can also use the graphics tablet to create drawings and write notes on your computer in the same way as you would using a sheet of paper. Proceed as follows to start using your graphics tablet quickly and easily.
Step 1: Inserting the battery into the digital pen
To insert batteries 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.
3. Remove the film from the supplied battery and insert the battery. The positive pole (+) must always point towards the open end of the pen.
Always ensure correct polarity 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.

Step 2: Installing the graphics tablet driver and Macro Key Manager
Windows®XP requires a driver to recognise the graphics tablet.
If you are using Windows Vista® Home Premium or Windows® 7, it is normally not necessary to install a graphics tablet driver, as this is already included in the operating system. However, we recommend installing the driver so that you can:
obtain a higher graphics tablet resolution
install the Macro Key Manager which you can use to program 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:
Open the Explorer (right-click on [Start] "Explorer" menu).
Click the icon of your CD or DVD drive in My Computer.
Start the installation by double-clicking the "setup" file.
The installation dialogue box opens:
[Macro Key Manager (32 & 64 bit)]: Install the graphics tablet driver and Macro Key Manager on a 32or 64 bit operating system.
[Free Notes / Office Ink (32 & 64 bit)]: Refer to page 14.
[Power Presenter RE II (32 & 64 bit)]: Refer to page 15.
[Exit]: Terminate/cancel installation.

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 last dialogue box click on [OK]. The installation wizard is then closed.
Step 3: Connecting the graphics tablet
Insert the USB connector (H) of the graphics tablet into a free USB socket on your computer.
The following message then appears after a short time: "Found new hardware – USB HID (Human Interface Device)".
A new icon then appears in the system tray of the taskbar 
.
The graphics tablet has then been recognised by your computer and can be used.
If the graphics tablet is not recognised, remove and reinsert the USB connector. You can also try using a different USB socket on your PC.
Information for users of Microsoft® Windows® 7:
Microsoft® Windows® 7 has an ink input field. This enables you to make handwritten entries. The text entered can be used in other programs.
The ink input field is found in the margin of the screen. Move the pen over it and click on it to open the ink input field:

SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2
Step 4: Adjusting 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 graphics tablet 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 darkgrey 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.
An LED lights up to indicate that the function is active.
We recommend trying a few practical exercises with your new graphics tablet. Open the Windows "Paint" program, for example, or any another graphics program and get used to the pen and graphics tablet.

Configuration
Programming macro keys
You can assign a program start command (e.g."Save file") or a key combination (hotkey) to a macro key (K1 to K26). 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. In the featured default profiles (XP/2000, Vista, Windows 7, 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 profiles do not meet your requirements, you can create your own profiles.
Proceed as follows to program macro keys:
1.Double-click the "Macro Key Manager" icon in the system tray of the Windows taskbar 
.
The "Macro Key Manager" is then opened. The following example describes how to use this program.
2.Select a profile from the drop down list at the top left (shown here with the entry "Windows 7"). 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" program.
English - 23
SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2
3.Proceed as follows:
Click the [New] button. The "New" dialogue box is opened (see below).
Enter the name of the profile under "File name". Enter the name of the corresponding program here, in this case "Free Notes".
Click the [...] button and in the selection dialogue box which then opens select the "HWemail.exe" file (this is the executable file of the "Free Notes" program). You can also create profiles for any program in this manner. Close the selection dialogue box by clicking [OK].

A "hotkey" is a key combination defined by the program or operating system which executes a certain function. In Windows programs, 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 program. If you click the [...] button, a dialogue box is opened in which you can select the required program.
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.
Tick 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 working with the graphics tablet.
Click the [Confirm] button (save).
You can then program 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.

8. You then only have to activate the profile. Tick the "Activate this profile" box.
Only one profile can be activated at one time. Functions which you have defined in a "disabled" profile are not executed. Therefore only the assigned functions of the macro keys of the activated profile are available.
Note: The functions of hotkeys and links are only available if the software belonging to the selected profile is active.
9.If you do not want to change any more settings, click [OK] and confirm the subsequent query asking if you want to save your settings with [OK].
