  • What is the recommended battery type?

  • How do I preserve battery life?
    To preserve battery life, ensure that the tip is not pressed when the pen is not in use. For example: When storing the pen, ensure that the pen is secure so that the tip is not accidentally pressed. Pressing the tip is equivalent to writing and this drains the battery.
