Maintaining the Pen Display
General Precautions
- Make sure the display is turned off and unplugged.
- Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
- Handle the display with care.
Cleaning the Screen
- Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.

Cleaning the Case
- Use a soft, dry cloth.

Replacing a Pen Nib
When the pen nib gets too short or develops a sharp edge, it can be replaced with spare nibs. To replace a pen nib:
- Use the nib removal tool to pull the old nib straight out of the pen.
- Insert a new pen nib into the pen and push the nib in until it stops and is held firm.
