Caring for the Pen
Changing the Pen Settings
There are a few changes you can make to your pen settings in order to make it more suitable to your needs
(such as changing the pressure sensitivity). To do so, go to Start > Control Panel and select one of the icon
views from the “View by:” dropdown. Click on the Pen and Touch icon to open the window from which
you can change a variety of pen settings.
• ONLY USE THE PEN PROVIDED WITH YOUR TABLET PC. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE PEN TIPS THAT WERE NOT
SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR TABLET PC. REPLACE THE STYLUS TIP IF IT IS WORN. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER A SCRATCHED SCREEN.
• WHILE WRITING, DO NOT TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE DISPLAY (E.G., WITH A WRISTWATCH OR BRACELET).
T
HE PEN OF YOUR TABLET PC IS AN ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT WHICH CAN BE DAMAGED IF USED INCORRECTLY.
HANDLE THE PEN WITH CARE. THE FOLLOWING LIST CONTAINS GUIDELINES FOR PROPER PEN HANDLING:
• DO NOT GESTURE WITH THE PEN OR USE IT AS A POINTER.
• NEVER USE THE PEN ON ANY OTHER SURFACE THAN THE SCREEN OF YOUR TABLET PC.
• DO NOT TRY TO TURN THE THUMB GRIP ON THE PEN.
• NEVER STORE THE PEN WITH THE TIP BEARING THE WEIGHT OF THE PEN. IF THE PEN IS STORED WITH THE TIP
POINTING DOWN, THIS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PEN MECHANISM (PARTICULARLY UNDER HIGH
TEMPERATURES). IN THIS CASE THE PEN TIP MAY REACT AS THOUGH IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING PRESSED DOWN.
• THE PEN CAN BE INFLUENCED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (CURSOR QUIVERS OR JUMPS). THERE MAY BE A FEW
AREAS ON THE SCREEN WHERE THE CURSOR QUIVERS SLIGHTLY IN SPITE OF PRESSING THE PEN DOWN FIRMLY.
