Care and Maintenance

Replacing pen tips

Pen tips eventually wear down or get damaged, so the pen includes extra tips and a tool for 
replacing them.

With typical use, you should change the pen tip every 90 days. If you use the pen in a dirty 
environment, you should change the pen tip every 30 days. Particles can become 
embedded in the pen tip and scratch the display.

1. Grasp the old tip with the replacement tool. Use the notch on the ring to grab the tip.

2. Pull the old tip out of the pen.

3. Insert a new tip.

4. Apply slight pressure to push the tip in to place.

Traveling with the system

Use the following tips when you travel with the system.

•

Remove all accessories and cables. Remember to pack those you will need while 

traveling, including at least one pen.

•

Put the unit into a case to protect the display.

•

Protect the pen by keeping it in the pen holder or in a case during travel.

•

Pack the unit securely in a briefcase or hand-carried luggage, and keep it separate from 

toiletries, liquids, and food. Do not pack it in checked luggage.

•

Keep the system stable during travel. Secure it to prevent it from sliding around in 

overhead bins and car trunks.

•

Before extended use in the field or long trips away from AC power, adjust the power 

properties to maximize battery conservation. You can adjust the power properties from 

Motion Dashboard. See “Using power management” on page 38.

•

For international travel, obtain and use the appropriate adapters for your destination’s 

electrical outlets. A current converter is not necessary.

•

You may want to carry proof of ownership or a merchandise passport when traveling 

internationally.

•

Consult your insurance company and credit card company to learn about emergency 

travel assistance in case the system becomes lost or disabled.
