Do not use Cintiq in a dusty environment; this may damage the unit.
Caution
Precautions on use and handling Page 2
USAGE
Only use a power adapter specified for use with your Cintiq. If a different type of power Warning adapter is used, Cintiq will not work properly or may be damaged. Using a different type of
power adapter also has the potential to result in fire. Use of a different power adapter will void your warranty.
Be sure to use a grounded power source when applying power to Cintiq.
Caution
Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cables while Cintiq or your computer are Caution turned on; this may damage the display or computer video card. In this case, Wacom shall
have no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
Caution |
This product is for use with a DVI or VGA video card; using an inappropriate video card may |
|
damage Cintiq. |
||
|
Do not block the rear panel ventilation holes; this may overheat and damage the unit.
Caution
When not using Cintiq for long periods of time, unplug the power adapter from the AC outlet.
HANDLING
Warning
Warning
Warning
High Voltage. Do not open or disassemble the Cintiq interactive pen display. There is a risk of electrical shock when the casing is open. This will also void your warranty and Wacom shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
Do not operate the display stand incline adjustment levers when Cintiq is not mounted
on the stand, and do not lift the stand by the adjustment levers; the stand is spring-loaded and may cause injury or damage if released without the weight of Cintiq on the stand. Improper operation may lead to physical injury or damage to the stand.
When moving Cintiq to a different location, either:
•remove the display unit from the stand and then move both items separately (see “Removing Cintiq from the display stand” on page 13),
•or use the lock screws to fix Cintiq to the stand (see “Optional display configurations” on page 61).
Before moving Cintiq, first adjust the stand to its full upright position; this will reduce the spring tension so that the stand will not accidentally release and snap shut. If the display unit is in landscape orientation, use one hand to grasp the bottom of the display and with your other hand grasp the back of the stand. Be sure to lift on both the display and the stand so that the stand will not separate from the display when moving Cintiq.
If Cintiq is in portrait orientation or has been locked to the stand with the rotation lock screws, the stand will not separate from the display unit and Cintiq can be safely lifted by grasping the display unit with both hands.
Always follow the instructions in “Removing Cintiq from the display stand” on page 13 to remove the display unit from the stand.

SETTING UP THE CINTIQ STAND
Place the stand on your desktop or work surface. Make sure the stand is stable and will not tip or fall when the pen display is mounted on it. Then familiarize yourself with the stand components.
Do not operate the incline adjustment levers when Cintiq is not mounted on the stand, and do Warning not lift the stand by the adjustment levers. The stand is spring-loaded and may cause injury or
damage if released without the weight of Cintiq on the stand. Improper operation may lead to physical injury or damage to the stand. Be careful to avoid catching your finger in the gap of the movable portion of the stand.
Incline adjustment levers
When Cintiq is mounted on the stand, use these levers to adjust the display incline, as described in “Adjusting the display incline” on page 12.
Bearing recess
Front feet
The front feet have rubber pads to reduce slippage on the desktop.
Rear feet
The rear feet are on rollers, allowing them to move when adjusting incline.
Next step: Unpack the pen display and mount it on the Cintiq stand. See page 11.
Unpacking your Cintiq
Page 10
UNPACKING AND MOUNTING THE CINTIQ PEN DISPLAY
Remove any packing materials from the back of the display unit and cabling. Mount Cintiq on the stand:
•Make sure the stand is placed in a stable position on your desktop or other work surface so that it will not tip or fall when Cintiq is mounted on it. Securely grasp Cintiq with both hands; the display should face toward you, with the power switch and LEDs located at the top.
•Align Cintiq parallel to the front of the stand so the bearing hub is located between the V-shaped upper edges of the stand’s bearing recess. The V-shaped edges will serve as a guide for positioning the bearing hub. See – A – below.
•With the back of Cintiq resting against the stand, lower Cintiq until the bearing hub rests securely in the bearing recess. See – B – on the following page. The display unit will be held in place by gravity; there will be no audible ‘snap’ to indicate a mechanical lock.

After the display unit has been mounted on the stand, remove the foam blocks that lock the adjustment levers in place. Save these blocks with the other packaging materials; you will need them if in the future you want to ship Cintiq.
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY INCLINE
To adjust the display incline, face the front of the Cintiq pen display and grasp it on the left and right side at approximately the same height as the Cintiq stand adjustment levers. Use your fingertips to gently pull the incline adjustment levers toward the display unit; this will release the stand’s clutch mechanism. Tilt the display to adjust the incline setting.
•To lower Cintiq, pull the left incline adjustment lever toward Cintiq and gently lower Cintiq to the desired incline angle. Release the lever to lock the stand in place.
•To raise Cintiq, pull the right incline adjustment lever toward Cintiq and gently raise Cintiq to the desired incline angle. Release the lever to lock the stand in place.
Note: The stand adjustment levers exhibit some natural play before the clutch mechanism engages. When adjusting the stand incline, set it slightly higher than you plan to work with, then lower the display to the desired position.
Before moving Cintiq, first adjust the stand to its full upright position; this will reduce the spring Warning tension so the stand will not accidentally release and snap shut. If the display unit is in
landscape orientation, use one hand to grasp the bottom of the display and with your other hand grasp the back of the stand. Be sure to lift on both the display and the stand so the stand will not separate from the display when moving Cintiq. If Cintiq is in portrait orientation or has been locked to the stand with the rotation lock screws (see page 61), the stand will not separate from the display unit and Cintiq can be safely lifted by grasping the display unit with both hands.
Next step: Go to page 14 and familiarize yourself with the pen display.
Unpacking your Cintiq
Page 12
ADJUSTING ROTATION
To adjust rotation, grasp Cintiq by the main body and rotate the unit to the desired position; it will move on the bearing hub. Cintiq can be rotated on the display stand when the incline is less than or equal to 25 degrees. You can only rotate the pen display 180 degrees in either direction. If you do not plan to rotate the pen display, use the rotation lock screws and fasten the display to the stand in a horizontal position. See “Optional display configurations” on page 61.
REMOVING CINTIQ FROM THE DISPLAY STAND
To remove Cintiq from the display stand:
•If the rotation lock screws are attached, remove them from the back of Cintiq.
•Position the pen display to landscape orientation before removing it from the display stand. The stand will not release unless Cintiq is in landscape orientation.
•Next, raise the stand incline to the highest position. See “Adjusting the display incline” on page 12.
•Firmly grasp the pen display on both the left and right sides of the unit, and lift out of the display stand.
Important: When removing Cintiq from the display stand, always lift Cintiq in a direction parallel to the front of the stand. You may also need to slightly rotate Cintiq so the stand will release.
Note: When packing Cintiq for transport, first adjust the stand to its lowest position and place the foam packing blocks under the incline adjustment levers before removing Cintiq from the stand. The foam blocks will keep the stand from snapping shut while in its packaging. Always pack Cintiq and its stand in their original containers and protective cushions. Never pack Cintiq while it is mounted on the stand; this may damage the unit or stand during transport.

PEN FEATURES
Eraser: When brought within proximity of the pen display (5 mm (0.2 inch)), the tablet portion of the display reports the pen location. Pressure information is reported as you press down on the eraser. By default, the eraser function is set to ERASE.
DuoSwitch: Be sure the programmable switch is in a convenient location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger but not accidentally press it while using the pen. You can use the switch whenever the pen tip is within proximity of the display screen surface; you do not need to touch the pen tip to the display surface.
Toggle the switch in either direction to activate the button functions. By default, the upper switch is set to DOUBLE CLICK and the lower switch is set to RIGHT CLICK.
Pen tip (replaceable nib): The pen is activated as soon as it is 
brought within proximity (5 mm (0.2 inch)) of the pen display screen.
This allows you to position the screen cursor without touching the pen tip to the display screen.
When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the pen simulates a primary mouse button click. Tip click pressure can be adjusted in the Wacom Tablet control panel.
Important: Only use a pen that is compatible with Cintiq, such as the pen that shipped with the unit, or pens from the Intuos4 product line which have a part number ending in “-01”. Other pens may not function properly. See “Available parts and accessories” on page 72. Also, the Cintiq pen tip is specifically designed for use with the Cintiq pen display. The tips on other pens could damage the Cintiq display screen.
When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand, the pen holder, or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser.

INSTALLATION
The computer treats the interactive pen display as two separate devices (the display and the pen tablet). Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages:
•First install as a display.
•Then install as a pen tablet.
Both stages require hardware and software installations and adjustments. Carefully follow ALL instructions.
Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
•PC. Windows 7, Vista™, XP (32 and 64 bit). DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM drive.
•Macintosh. OS X, v10.4 or greater. DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM drive.
Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If updating your video card, first complete the video card installation before connecting Cintiq. If you have another display that is compatible with your video card, you can use that display to verify the video card is operating correctly.
Although you can connect Cintiq to either a DVI or VGA video card, connecting to a DVI video card generally results in optimum performance.
Notes:
Cintiq can be used alone or with another display, such as a CRT monitor or LCD projector. To use Cintiq with another display, you will need two video cards or a video card with dual output.
You may be able to set up Cintiq as a mirrored, extended, or independent display.
When working with more than one monitor, Cintiq will map to the monitors based upon how your system is configured. By default, if you are in mirror mode, the pen display will map to the entire space on each monitor. See your hardware and operating system documentation for details on configuring your system for use with multiple monitors.
A Display Toggle function is available for use with multiple display systems. This enables you to toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays.

User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can customize their personal settings in the Wacom Tablet control panel. Switching to another user will automatically load the settings for that user.
If the pen display does not respond properly or you lose cursor control, the pen display preferences may be corrupted. You can delete the current preference settings and return the pen display to its factory default condition. See the Software User’s Manual for details on managing preferences.
To uninstall the software driver, see “Uninstalling Cintiq” on page 67.
Next, see “Calibrating Cintiq” on page 36 to precisely align the screen cursor to the pen tip.
Installation
Page 23
WORKING WITH YOUR CINTIQ
As you work with Cintiq, you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper.
Because the Cintiq pen display surface will be a little higher than your desk, consider adjusting the height of your desk or chair to assure comfortable use of the device.
SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
The Cintiq interactive pen display and stand were designed to provide you with the widest possible range of flexibility and ergonomic work approach. The design allows you to quickly adjust Cintiq to a different position whenever the need arises. Experiment with different height and position adjustments to determine which best fits your particular working style and tasks.
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position Cintiq, the pen, and your keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. The pen display and any other displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.
•Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
•Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.
•Alternate tasks throughout the day.
•Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that cause discomfort.
•Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
•Alternate between different modes of use.
To emulate a traditional animator’s table, adjust the stand to its lowest position. Cintiq can be freely rotated to any angle without touching the desktop for the greatest comfort and accuracy of stroke while drawing or editing images.
Adjustment of the stand to its highest position is common when your work requires a large amount of keyboard input. This position is also useful when presenting your work to co-workers or clients.
Note regarding RSI: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions. Individual results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.
Working with your Cintiq
Page 24
Tips:
If the rotation lock screws are attached to the back of Cintiq, they must be removed before Cintiq can be rotated.
Before rotating the display unit, be sure the cable is freely rotating behind the unit.
Do not pull the cable out of its computer connections by accidentally moving the pen display too far from the computer.
Cintiq can also be mounted to articulated arms or other third-party stands meeting the VESA 100 specification for monitor stands. See “Using an alternate mount or stand” on page 62 for details.
Next step: If you have not already done so, learn about the basics of customizing your product for the way you like to work. See “Customizing” on page 34.

USING THE GRIP PEN
The pen is cordless, battery-free, and senses the amount of tilt and pressure you exert upon it.
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidentally press it while drawing. As you work with Cintiq you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
To personalize your pen, unscrew the tip cone and replace the colored ring with one of another color (included).
Refer to “Customizing” on page 34 and to the electronic Software User’s Manual for information on customizing the pen settings.
Place the pen stand within easy reach. When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand, the pen holder, or lay it flat on your desk. The stand allows for vertical or horizontal placement of the pen.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser.
Unscrew the base of the pen stand to access a nib extraction tool and assorted replacement nibs.
