4. Operating Instructions

4.2 Tactical and Emergency Use
The NP20 Tactical Pen is equipped with a tungsten steel glass breaker tip for emergency situations. This tip is designed for:
- Emergency Escape: In situations requiring rapid exit from a vehicle or building, the tungsten steel tip can be used to break tempered glass windows.
- Self-Defense: The robust construction and pointed tip can be utilized as a non-lethal self-defense tool for pressure point application or striking in critical moments.
To use the glass breaker tip, firmly grip the pen and strike the corner or edge of the glass surface with the tungsten steel tip. Apply sufficient force to shatter the glass. Always aim for the weakest points of the glass, typically the corners or edges, and ensure a clear path for escape.

5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your NP20 Tactical Pen, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the hard-anodized finish.
5.2 Storage
Store the pen in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure the pen tip is retracted when not in use to prevent accidental marking or damage to the tip.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pen not writing smoothly or ink skipping. | Refill is empty or dried out. | Replace the refill with a new Schmidt Megaline P 950 M or compatible G2 standard refill. |
| Pen tip does not extend or retract properly. | Mechanism is jammed or pen body is not fully screwed. | Ensure the pen body is securely tightened. If the issue persists, inspect for any foreign objects obstructing the mechanism. |
