Replacing pen tips
Pen tips eventually wear down or get damaged, so the pen includes extra tips and a tool for replacing them.
With typical use, you should change the pen tip every 90 days. If you use the pen in a dirty environment, you should change the pen tip every 30 days. Particles can become embedded in the pen tip and scratch the display.

1.Grasp the old tip with the tip replacement tool. Use the notch on the ring to grab the tip.
2.Pull the old tip out of the pen.
3.Insert a new tip.
4.Apply slight pressure to push the tip in to place.
