Prepare your stylus


Charge

To charge your Bamboo Tip, connect it to your computer or USB charger, using the cable provided. The USB connector is located under the cover at the top end of the stylus.


Power on

Press the side button to turn on your Bamboo Tip. The light will blink twice. Please note that your stylus will turn off if it is inactive for more than five minutes. To reactivate it, just press the button again.


Adjust

You can optimize the performance of your Bamboo Tip to different types of touchscreens by flicking the small compatibility switch at its top end. Choose the upper position for most tablets. For an iPad Pro switch it to the lower position.

Now your Bamboo Tip is ready for use.

You can use Bamboo Tip with almost any app on a compatible tablet or smartphone. Some apps have been designed with pen in mind. They can open up completely new uses for you. Here’s an example:

Replacing the nib

Should the nib wear out one day, you don’t need to dispose your Bamboo Tip. Just replace the nib. It is easy like this: Pinch the tip of the nib with your fingernails and gently pull it away from the pen. Then put in a new stylus nib (ACK23016) and gently push it in until it is fully inserted.

You can purchase new nibs from our store. They come as a set of two different nib types. So you can choose between a soft and a firm feel when writing on screen.
