When you place the pen in the cradle, the icon shows a small green dot and a banner appears with
summary details, as shown in the following figure:
Charging the Digital Pen
You can use the HP Digital Pen 250 to write up to the equivalent of 25 pages of full text before the
battery needs to be charged. When the power status LED indicates the battery is low, remove the pen
cap and insert the pen into the cradle.
If the pen LEDs do not power when you take the pen cap off, the battery may be too low to power the
pen.
When the pen is placed in the cradle, the LEDs should remain on. If the LEDs go out when the pen is
docked, then the battery level may be too low to power the LEDs. Wait for 20 minutes then check that
the power LED is flashing to indicate that the pen is charging.
If the LEDs were lit and they go out when pen is placed in the cradle, then your USB connector is not
connected properly.
Note: If the cradle is connected to the PC using a USB hub, then be sure to use a powered USB
hub. Your pen will not charge if connected to a non-powered USB hub.
Changing the Ink Cartridge
When the ink cartridge in the pen runs out, replace it with one of the refills supplied with your pen. Use
the pen’s cap to remove the empty ink cartridge.
1.
Remove the cap from the pen.
2.
Place the ink cartridge tip in the hole in the pen cap clip.
3.
Tilt the pen cap slightly clockwise.
