Changing The Pen Battery - IBM TransNote User Manual

Changing the pen battery

With normal use, the pen's single AAAA alkaline battery lasts an
average of 6 to 12 months. This is a standard battery available
from a local retailer.
When the pen battery gets low, you will notice that the pen
symbol does not appear in the display panel, and your ink does
not transfer to the computer.
To conserve battery power, the digital pen shuts down after 5
minutes of inactivity. To wake it up, simply tap the ink tip on the
paper once.
To change the pen battery:
1. Unscrew the barrel [1], the lower end of the pen, counter-
clockwise from the front section [3].
2. Remove the old battery from the barrel [2].
3. Place a new AAAA battery into the barrel with the positive
(+) end facing the front section of the pen [3].
4. Screw the barrel clockwise onto the front section until tight.
5. Confirm that the pen is working by turning on the digital
notepad and tapping the pen on the tablet. The green Activity
indicator blinks and the pen symbol appears in the status
display if the notepad receives a signal from the pen.
When the front section is unscrewed from the barrel, do not
touch the piece of metal (an electronic transmitter) that extends
beyond the edge of the front section. Doing so might damage the
pen and adversely affect its performance.
