Usage Features

The GAOMON S830 offers a range of features to optimize the user experience:

Driver Installation: Users must download and install the driver from the GAOMON website. A grey driver icon in the system tray indicates successful installation, turning orange when the tablet is connected and recognized. It is crucial to uninstall any other similar product drivers and close all graphics and anti-virus software before installation to prevent conflicts.
Device Connection Prompt: The driver interface provides clear indicators for device connection status, showing "No Device Detected" or "S830 (Device connected)".
Working Area Setting:
- Multiple Monitors: For extended display modes, users can select a specific monitor to map the tablet's active area. In mirror mode, the tablet maps to the entire space on all monitors, with the cursor appearing simultaneously on each.
- Define Tablet Area: Users can choose between "Full Area" (the entire active area) or "Custom Area" by dragging the corners of a graphic to select a specific screen region.
- Rotate Working Area: The tablet's working area can be rotated by 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° to accommodate left-handed or right-handed operation.
Shortcuts Keys Function Setting: The 4 customizable shortcut keys can be set to default values or assigned specific functions from a pop-up dialog box, which are saved automatically. Users can also enable or disable these press keys.
Pen Buttons Function Setting: The buttons on the AP32 pen can be customized to perform various functions, including keyboard keys, mouse actions (left-click, right-click, middle mouse button, double-left click, wheel forward/backward), switch functions, multimedia controls, show/hide, or launch programs.
Pressure Sensitivity Setting: The pressure curve can be adjusted by dragging points on a graph. Moving points to the upper left increases sensitivity, while dragging them to the lower right decreases it.
Pen Pressure Testing: A dedicated test area allows users to gradually apply pressure to the stylus on the screen to verify the pressure level.
Windows Ink Feature: The tablet supports Windows Ink, enabling pen features in applications like Microsoft Office, Windows Journal, Adobe Photoshop CC, and SketchBook 6. This feature can be enabled or disabled in the driver settings.
Mouse Mode: By enabling mouse mode, the cursor moves relative to the pen's movement, similar to a traditional mouse. This allows for easier navigation and selection of icons or options at the screen's edge without moving the pen across the entire working area.
Customize Press Keys and Pressure Curve for Different Programs: The driver allows users to customize press key functions and pressure curves for specific applications. These settings are automatically saved for each program.
Data Export and Import: The driver supports exporting and importing custom configuration data, simplifying the setup process for different software or computers and avoiding repetitive settings.
Android Phone/Tablet Connection: The tablet can connect to Android phones/tablets (OS 6.0 or later with OTG function) using a USB adapter (Type-C to USB or Micro USB to USB). In phone mode, the pen works within a specific left gray area (107.7 x 60.6mm). If not automatically recognized, pressing buttons ① and ③ simultaneously for 3 seconds activates phone mode. Note that express keys on the tablet and pen buttons are not supported in phone mode.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the GAOMON S830:

Cleaning: Before cleaning, unplug the power cord. Wipe the tablet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any detergents.
Liquid Exposure: Do not expose the product to water or other liquids. Spilling liquids on the tablet or pen can cause malfunction or electrical shock.
Safety: Keep the tablet away from unstable surfaces or heights accessible to children. Prevent children from swallowing pen nibs or side switches, as these movable parts can be accidentally pulled out.
Electronic Interference: Power off the tablet in locations where electronic devices are not allowed (e.g., airplanes) to prevent malfunction of other devices.
Disassembly: Do not disassemble or modify the tablet or pen. Such actions can lead to heat generation, ignition, electric shock, or other damage, and will void the warranty.
Component Replacement: Ensure that any replacement components are specified by the manufacturer to avoid fire, electric shocks, or other dangers.
Foreign Material: Do not insert foreign material into the USB port or any other opening, as this can cause malfunction, burnout, or electric shock.
Pen Nib Replacement: Over time, the pen nib will wear out. Use the provided pen nib clip to pull out the old nib and insert a new one until it stops.

Troubleshooting

The manual provides solutions for common issues:

No pressure in graphics software but cursor moves: Uninstall all other tablet drivers and close drawing software, then reinstall the GAOMON driver. Restarting the computer after installation is recommended.
Pen does not work: Ensure the original AP32 pen is used and the driver is correctly installed.
Shortcut Keys do not work: Verify that the Shortcut Keys function is enabled in the driver and that the Press Keys are correctly defined.
Computer can't enter sleep mode: Avoid placing the pen on the tablet surface when not in use, as this keeps the computer awake.
Side button of the pen doesn't work: Ensure the nib does not touch the tablet surface when pressing the side button, and the distance between the nib and surface is more than 10mm.
Computer can't recognize the tablet: Check if the USB port is functional; if not, try another USB port.
