Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Targus Slim Stylus, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Tip: Periodically wipe the rubber tip with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Body: The stylus body can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the stylus is completely dry before storage or use.
- Storage: Store the stylus in a clean, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
- Avoid Excessive Force: Do not apply excessive pressure to the stylus tip, as this may cause damage.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Targus Slim Stylus, consider the following:
- Stylus Not Responding: Ensure your device has a capacitive touchscreen. The stylus is not compatible with resistive touchscreens.
- Inaccurate Input: Check the stylus tip for any visible damage or excessive wear. A damaged tip may affect accuracy.
- Screen Sensitivity: If your device's screen protector is very thick, it might reduce touchscreen sensitivity. Try using the stylus without the screen protector to see if performance improves.
- Cleaning: A dirty tip can sometimes cause inconsistent performance. Clean the tip as described in the 'Care and Maintenance' section.
