from the standby mode.

7.2 Tapping before you use the digital pen

Before you use the digital pen, or after not using it for several minutes, tap the pen on any surface of the
tablet to “ wake” it up from the standby mode.

7.3 Double tapping

When you double tap with the digital pen (equivalent to a double click with a mouse), try to keep the pen
tip away from the tablet’ s surface, or at least try to lift the pen tip as fast as possible before the second
tap.

a cup or penholder with the tip down. Even though the possibility is low, press the pen tip will still cause a
constant drain on the pen’ s battery. Place the pen in a penholder, or turn the pen tip pointing upward or
horizontally with the pen tip free of any pressure by other objects.
