JOT CLASSIC
Touch screens have simplified technology, but there
has yet to be a way to capture the precision of a cal-
ligrapher or the stroke of an artist. Not only should it
meet your needs, but a stylus should have style.
We would like to fix that.
Introducing Jot, the stylus the world’s
been looking for.
COLORS
The Jot Classic is available in three colors; green,
purple, red, and turquoise.
PRECISION DISC
Your stylus should be as sharp as your ideas. The
thin and clear disc gives you the acuracy you want in
a digital pen.
WRITING ANGLE
The Jot is designed to provide a range of writing
angles, but is optimized for a minimal angle of 45
degrees. Hold your stylus at the angle you’re most
comfortable with. Jot gives you the freedom to
write or sketch like you’re used to.
COMPATIBILITY
The Jot Classic will work with any capacitive screen
including iPads, iPhones, MacBook Trackpads,
Magic Trackpads, HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola,
Blackberry. It will not work with Wacom tablets or
Cintiq monitors, since these use
different technology.
It will only function on a PC if a capacitive touch
monitor is being used, but will not work with a
regular monitor. Note that the risk of scratching
is minimal when the Jot Classic is used with a
hardened glass capacitive touch screen, but touch
screen monitors for PCs may not use such
a glass screen.

in a digital pen. The small plastic disc on the tip of
the Jot is the most important part of the stylus. The
disc must be attached when the stylus is used, and
should not be removed unless it is being replaced.
The disc should be kept clean and undamaged,
protected by the cap when the Jot is not in use. If
the disc is damaged, however, it can be removed and
replaced with a new disc.
REPLACING THE DISC
The Jot Classic’s disc can be replaced if the disc is
damaged, or if it is dislodged from the Jot Classic
for any reason. The disc is attached to the ball tip of
the stylus.
To remove the Jot Classic’s disc, place the disc
flat on a hard surface, and position the stylus at an
angle so you can see the disc clearly.
Hold the disc down firmly with two fingers on either
side of it, then pull the stylus up sharply with your
other hand. The stylus should pull out of the disc.
To put a new disc on the stylus, place the disc flat
on a hard surface. Hold the stylus directly above the
disc, and push straight down so that the ball tip is
inserted into the recess of the disc.
CLEANING
Jot Classic does not like water, so don’t go
swimming with it. If you need to clean Jot Classic,
please use a slightly damp cloth. Do not attempt to

open the stylus, as there are no serviceable parts
inside. Dry the surface well, with a soft cloth.
JOT READY APPS
Although Jot Classic works with any app, some
apps have been calibrated for a precision stylus
rather than a finger. These apps have integrated
Adonit’s Jot Ready SDK so when used with Jot
Classic, they are the best stylus experience on the
market. Check them out. If your app isn’t on the list,
email us which app you would like to see integr-a-
tion with. Also let that app know you want integra-
tion. If you don’t tell them, they won’t know.

WHY IS THE WRITING OFFSET?
You may notice that in some applications your
writing on the screen is slightly offset from the
Jot Classic’s tip. This is because most software
designed for capacitive touch screen styli
deliberately offsets the point of contact from the
center of the pen to allow for imprecision in the
stylus. The software is causing the offset, not the
Jot Classic.
SCREEN PROTECTORS
Jot Classic plays well with the majority of screen
protectors but, due to the large variety, there are
some that Jot Classic does not. Jot Classic does
NOT work well with these screen protectors due to
their extra grip nature:
• Zagg Glossy Invisible Shield
(but Smudge-Proof Invisible Shield works well)
• Ghost Armor
• Bodyguardz
• Skinomi
• Wrapsol
However, as generally known, when any object, such
as a glass towel, a stylus or your finger, contacts
and moves on an unprotected screen, scratches
may happen due to the particles between the screen
and the object. Therefore, a screen protector is
recommended to be used to maintain the condition
of the screen. If there is wear to the screen
protector, it is recommended to replace a new
one. In any case, it is advised to keep your screen
clean of dust and particles. For further instructions
regarding protecting your screen, please contact the
manufacturer of your appliance for assistance.
