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 NOTEBOOK. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE PEN TIPS THAT WERE NOT
SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK. REPLACE THE STYLUS TIP IF IT IS WORN. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER A SCRATCHED SCREEN.
• WHILE WRITING, YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE NOT TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE DISPLAY (E.G., WITH A
WRISTWATCH OR BRACELET).
T
HE PEN OF YOUR NOTEBOOK IS AN ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT WHICH CAN BE DAMAGED IF USED INCORRECTLY.
H
ANDLE 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 NOTEBOOK.
• DO NOT TRY TO TURN THE THUMB GRIP ON THE PEN. THE THUMB GRIP IS USED TO PLACE THE PEN IN ITS SLOT AND
TO TAKE IT OUT OF THE SLOT.
• NEVER STORE THE PEN WITH THE TIP BEARING THE WEIGHT OF THE PEN (E.G. WITH THE TIP DOWN IN A PEN
HOLDER). 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. TO AVOID DAMAGE, THE PEN SHOULD BE STORED IN THE PEN SLOT WHEN
NOT IN USE.
• 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.
