AccuPoint™ II precautions

Under certain conditions the on-screen pointer may travel contrary to
AccuPoint™ II operation. For example, if

You touch the AccuPoint™ II during power-up.

You apply constant, soft pressure to the AccuPoint™ II.

There is a sudden temperature change.

Strong stress is applied to the AccuPoint™ II.

If such travelling occurs, it is not a malfunction. Wait a moment for the
pointer to stop, then continue operation.

Replacing the cap

The AccuPoint™ II cap is an expendable item that can be purchased from
your computer dealer. It should be replaced after prolonged use.

To remove the AccuPoint™ II cap, firmly grasp the cap and pull it
straight up.

PEG

ACCUPOINT II CAP

Removing the AccuPoint™ II cap

Position a new cap on the peg and press it into place.

The peg is square, so be careful to align the cap’s square hole with the peg.
