HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the pen like you would hold a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the pen buttons are in a convenient
location where you can toggle them with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press them while
drawing or positioning with the pen. Tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen holder or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain
the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser (when
equipped). Leaving the pen on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using
other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.
