6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Screen
To maintain optimal screen clarity, gently wipe the display with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-cleaning solution specifically designed for electronics. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
6.2. Battery Care
The eNote Pro is equipped with a 6500 mAh battery designed for long usage. To prolong battery life:
- Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Charge the device regularly, but avoid leaving it fully charged or fully depleted for extended periods.
- Use the provided USB-C cable for charging.
6.3. Stylus Nib Replacement
Over time, the stylus nib may wear down. Your eNote Pro comes with a spare nibs kit (10 nibs). To replace a nib:
- Gently pull the old nib straight out from the stylus.
- Insert a new nib firmly until it clicks into place.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Penstar eNote Pro, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Device does not power on | Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using the provided USB-C cable. If unresponsive, perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds. |
| Stylus not responding | Check if the stylus nib is properly inserted. If the nib is worn, replace it with a new one from the spare kit. Ensure the stylus is within range of the screen. |
| Wi-Fi connection issues | Verify your Wi-Fi password. Restart your router and the eNote Pro. Ensure the device is within range of the Wi-Fi signal. |
| Handwriting conversion errors | Ensure your handwriting is clear and legible. Check the language settings for handwriting recognition. Update the device software to the latest version. |
| Screen lag or slow performance | Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Restart the device. E-Ink screens inherently have a slower refresh rate than LCD/OLED, which is normal behavior. |
| Apps not installing from Google Play Store | The eNote Pro runs on Android 14 but may not have Google Play certification. You may need to use alternative app stores or sideload .apk files for some applications. Apps requiring Google Play Services may not function fully. |
If the problem persists, please contact Penstar customer support for further assistance.
