REPLACING THE PEN TIP

The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a flat point, you can replace it with another nib. Simply clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen. Then slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen – firmly push the nib until it stops.

Important: When the Graphire pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment, the pen stand, or lay it flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet when not in use can prevent the tablet from switching off and cause the battery to drain down. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser.

Warning: Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip or side switch. The pen tip (nib) or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.

To order replacement parts, see ordering parts and accessories.

BATTERY LIFE INFORMATION

All Li-Ion batteries age over time and typically need to be replaced approximately once every two or three years, whether they are used or not. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories.

Notes:

•When the battery is connected, the tablet will use a small amount of current even when the tablet is switched off. It is a good idea to charge the battery before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days. There is a built-in protection circuit that will prevent the battery from over-discharging. Once a Li-Ion battery has been over-discharged it cannot be recharged.

•If you will not be using your tablet for an extended period of time (a month or longer), Wacom suggests unplugging the battery from the tablet connector in order to conserve the charge and battery life. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.

•Li-Ion batteries are not affected by cycling or other methods used to improve the performance of different battery types.
