CARING FOR BAMBOO
Keep your Bamboo tablet surface and pen (when equipped) clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to the
pen and cause excessive wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help to
prolong the life of your tablet surface and pen; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap
diluted with water. Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, as they may damage the
plastic case.
Keep Bamboo in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best.
Also, your Bamboo tablet and pen (when equipped) are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case
can break the pen. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the tablet or pen. Be especially careful of getting the
tablet ExpressKeys or pen buttons, tip, and eraser (when equipped) wet – they contain sensitive
electronic parts that will fail if liquid enters them.
REPLACING THE PEN NIB
The pen nib (tip) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the
nib when it gets too short – less than 1 mm (0.4 inch) – or develops a flat point.
1. Clasp the old nib with the nib extractor, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and
pull it straight out of the pen.
2. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
Warning: Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or button part. The pen nib
or button part may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.

Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen holder or lay it flat on your desk.
The eraser end of the pen should be inserted first into the loop. To maintain the sensitivity of your
pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser (when equipped).
