Operating the Stylus
Writing and Drawing
The stylus offers a natural writing and drawing experience with its 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. This allows for precise control over line thickness and opacity, mimicking traditional pen-on-paper feel. The Raphael 520 also supports tilt sensitivity, enabling shading effects similar to a real pencil when the stylus is angled. Compatibility for tilt sensitivity may vary depending on the application and specific pen brushes used.

Maintenance
Battery Care
To ensure optimal battery life, charge the stylus regularly. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently. The stylus will automatically power off after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve power.

Wipe the stylus body with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Keep the pen tip clean and free of debris.
Replacing Pen Tips
The Raphael 520 Stylus comes with replaceable HB-type and 2H-type pen tips. If a tip becomes worn or damaged, gently pull it straight out from the stylus body. Insert a new tip firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the new tip is fully seated before use.
