INSTALLATION

WORKING WITH CINTIQPARTNER

The CintiqPartner tablet was designed to provide you with an easy way to access secondary monitors
with your Cintiq pen. As you work with the tablet, you will find that you can move easily and efficiently
between CintiqPartner and the Cintiq Interactive Pen Display.

SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA

To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably.
Position your Cintiq Interactive Pen Display, CintiqPartner tablet, Cintiq pen, and keyboard so they are

easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. The Interactive Pen Display and any other monitors
should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain. (Be sure to see
the

Cintiq Installation Guide and User’s Manual

Display.)
Set the CintiqPartner tablet on a flat surface, either to the side of or below the Cintiq Interactive Pen

Display. For example, you might place CintiqPartner on a keyboard tr ay. If Cintiq and the CintiqPartner
are too close together the two tablets may interfere with one another and cause the screen cursor to
jitter. If this occurs, move CintiqPartner a bit further away from Cintiq (approximately 15 cm (5.9
inches)).

Here are some other points to keep in mind:

• 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.

Note:

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.
