Taking Care of the Pen 3
The Point 1600 pen tip is made of a soft plastic material that is designed to minimize
scratching of the display screen. With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick
up particles of dust or dirt that can scratch the display screen. Using a damaged or
warped pen tip on the Point 1600 pen tablet may cause unpredictable results. If your
pen exhibits problems, replace the pen with another Point 1600 pen. Replacement pens
are available from your reseller (order number FMW27PN1, 5-pack).
Protecting the Pen Tablet in Harsh Environments 3
The Point 1600 pen tablet is designed for use in protected environments where there is
no direct exposure to rain, mists, or sprays. Avoid exposing the pen tablet to these
conditions. Note that using the pen tablet in a slip case or harsh environment case
offers some protection; however, neither the slip case or harsh environment case
renders the pen tablet waterproof or submersible.
Avoiding Overheating 3
The pen tablet monitors its internal temperature. As the internal temperature
approaches the tolerable limits of heat-sensitive components, system functions are
automatically limited or turned off to prevent heat damage.
Heat does not dissipate as efficiently when the pen tablet is installed in the harsh
environment case. Ensure that the pen tablet is either suspended or off when external
power is connected and the pen tablet is in the harsh environment case. This avoids
overheating while the battery pack is charging.
Storing the Pen Tablet 3
Store the pen tablet in the Fully Off state with a charged battery pack installed. The
battery pack provides power to some internal components even when the pen tablet is
turned off. You can store the pen tablet for about 30 days with a fully charged battery
pack installed. After 30 days, you should recharge the battery pack or replace it with a
fully charged battery pack.
