HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the Bamboo One 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 navigating with the pen. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Position for writing, drawing, and navigating.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen rest or lay it flat on your desk.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its
tip. Leaving the Bamboo One pen on the tablet active area may interfere with screen cursor
positioning when using other pointing devices. Also, leaving the pen on the tablet active area when
not in use can prevent your computer from going to sleep.
