CHARGING THE PEN The included pen stylus features a built-in rechargeable battery that gives up to 350 hours of continuous operation. The pen should be fully charged before first use and should be charged at least once every three months to keep the battery fresh and capable of holding a full charge. To charge the pen, plug the DC barrel connector on the included charging cable into the top of the pen, then plug the USB connector into a USB power source, such as a USB port on your computer or a USB wall charger. The LED indicator on the pen will glow red while charging is in progress and will extinguish when charging is complete. When the LED indicator glows orange dusring use, the battery is low and should be recharged immediately. 11

Insert the new nib into the end of the pen and press the pen down on a flat surface to fully seat the new nib in the pen.
