S Pen Settings

There are several settings available that control the behavior
of the S Pen. For example, you can choose a sound that will
play when you remove the S Pen from or return it to the slot
in your device.
Instead of the default menu of shortcuts that displays when
you remove the S Pen from your device, you can change the
setting so that the S Note, S Planner, Crayon physics, PS
Touch, or Polaris Office app launches.
Also, there is a setting to display a hovering pen icon on the
screen when the pen tip is near the screen.
Plus, there is a setting that helps to conserve battery power
by causing your tablet not to try to detect the S Pen when it is
in its slot in your tablet.
For more information, refer to “Pen” on page201.
