Extra product information
Method of Use:
The digital pen uses patented technology combining ultrasound and infrared technologies with sophisticated algorithms to enable an accurate tracking and positioning system that senses the movement of the tip of the pen on any surface and sends it to the receiving unit which stores it for later retrieval.
When placed in mouse mode and connected to the computer, the pen can be used as a computer mouse. Simply hover the pen to direct the pointer. To click an application press a slim button at the neck of the pen, alternatively, tap the pen on the paper.
Mounting the Receiving Unit to Paper.
The receiving unit is recommended to be positioned at the top of the paper. It has three clips on the back to assist with attachment. It features an LCD screen which indicates when it is connected to the PC, memory capacity (which indicates when 90% storage has been used), low battery for digital pen and receiving unit, note mode, mouse mode, and number of saved notes in memory. The receiving unit will automatically shut down in 10 minutes if the digital pen has not been used, to save power.
