Caring for Cintiq

Keep the Grip Pen and the Cintiq LCD screen surface clean.  Dust and dirt particles can stick to the
pen and cause wear to the display screen surface.  Regular cleaning will help prolong the life of
your LCD screen surface and pen.  Keep Cintiq, the Cintiq stand, and the Grip Pen in a clean, dry
place and avoid extremes in temperature.  Room temperature is best.  Cintiq, the Cintiq stand, and
the Grip Pen are not made to come apart (except where specifically indicated for removal and
replacement of the pen’s DuoSwitch).  Taking apart the product will void your warranty.

To clean the Cintiq casing, the Cintiq display stand, or the Grip Pen, use a soft cloth and
mild detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) diluted with water.  Do not use paint thinner, benzine,
alcohol, or other solvents to clean the unit casing, display stand, or pen.

To clean the display screen, use an anti-static cloth or a slightly damp cloth.  When cleaning,
apply only a light amount of pressure to the display screen  and do not make the surface wet.
Do not use detergent to clean the display screen; this may damage the coating on the screen.
Please note that damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

The pen tip will wear with normal use.  When the pen tip gets too short, you can replace it with
one of the extra tips that came with the pen.

To remove the old tip:
Clasp it with a pair of tweezers, needle-nosed
plier, or similar instrument and pull the old tip
straight out of the pen.

To insert a new tip:
Slide it straight into the barrel of the pen.
Firmly push the tip until it stops.  The new
tip will slide into the correct position.

If the pen tip wears and becomes angular, it may damage the coating on the Cintiq display screen.
To avoid this, periodic tip replacement is recommended.

out if children are biting on them.
