The computer does not go
to sleep.

When you are not using the pen, remove it from the pen display
surface or the pen display will continue to send data, keeping the
computer awake.

The screen cursor jumps
back when using your
regular mouse or trackball.

When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen tray, the pen storage
compartment, or at some location near the pen display, but not on the
display. Leaving your pen on the display may interfere with screen
cursor positioning when using other input devices.

The screen cursor moves
erratically or jumps around
on the display screen when
another tablet is connected
to your computer.

The tablet portion of the DTF-521 emits electromagnetic waves at a
certain frequency. If another tablet is too closely placed to the
DTF-521 it may interfere with screen cursor positioning. If this
occurs, move the tablet further away from the DTF-521.
