5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Usage
- Writing and Drawing: Simply touch the pen tip to the tablet screen to write, draw, or navigate. The pen's 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity allow for varied line thickness and shading, mimicking traditional writing tools.
- Tilt Detection: The pen detects the angle at which it is held, enabling natural shading effects in supported applications.
- Palm Rejection: Rest your hand naturally on the tablet screen while using the pen; the tablet will ignore your palm and only register the pen input.
