Dust and dirt particles can stick to the pen and cause excessive wear to the display screen surface. Regular cleaning will help prolong the life of your LCD screen surface and pen. Keep the pen display and pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. The pen display and pen are not made to come apart. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the pen display or pen. Be especially careful of getting the display, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.To clean the pen display casing or the pen, use a soft, damp cloth; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the unit casing or pen.To clean the display screen, use an anti-static cloth or a slightly damp cloth. When cleaning, apply only a light amount of pressure to the display screen and do not make the surface wet. Do not use detergent to clean the display screen; this may damage the pen display screen. Please note that damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
60IndexContents60IndexContentsInteractive pen displayREPLACING THE PEN TIPThe pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. If your pen display has a coated surface a worn nib may cause damage. To avoid this, periodic tip replacement is recommended.When the nib gets too short or develops a sharp edge, replace it with one of the extra nibs that came with the pen.Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen storage compartment or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the tool in a container where it will rest on its tip.Clasp the old nib with a Wacom nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops. The new nib will slide into the correct position.WarningChoking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.Replace the pen nib when it gets too short, or less than 1 mm (0.04 inch).
