Troubleshooting
and
Maintenance
The
X-Pad
does
not
require
periodic maintenance but you
should keep the Writing
Surface clean,
dry, and free of
conductive materials
including
heavy
pencil
lead.
It
is especially
important
to keep conductive materials
away from the Writing
Surface
because these
materials
interfere when you are drawing.
Tender Loving
Care
As
a
sensitive
instrument,
the X-Pad
should
be
handled
and
stored
carefully.
When
you move the X-Pad:
•
Carefully remove the Pak from the Color Computer
after
you
turn the
power
OFF,
•
Lift the X-Pad, making sure you
are
also holding the
Pen and Cable to keep them from dangling. Note: To
avoid
slippage,
be sure
the
X-Pad
is dry
before you pick
it up.
A
Clean
X-Pad
is a
Happy Pad
If you
store
your X-Pad on a
desk,
periodically clean the
Writing
Surface
with a dry, lint-free
cloth
to remove dust
and other particles.
Lay
a plastic cover or towel
over
the
Pad
to keep dust and
other
particles away from
X-Pad
when
it
is not in use.
Take
It Easy On
X-Pad
(It Can't
Take the
Pressure)
To use X-Pad, you must put
some pressure on
the
Pen
tip,
