Important: make sure the receiver is disconnected from your computer when writing notes.

Writing Tips
Hold the pen firmly and write normally.
Do not write directly below the receiver, but leave at least a 1.5 cm margin.
Do not put your fingers between the pen and the receiver. This will block the signal.
Use cursive or printed letters. Avoid stylistic writing.
Write as consistently as possible. Try to use the same size and shape each time you write a letter or
character. Also, write capital letters larger then lowercase letters.
Leave some space between words. Try not to overlap letters or characters.
Don't hyphenate words at the end of a line. Instead, write the entire word on the next line if you
don't have enough space.
Use lined paper, so you avoid line skew.
Step 4 Press the power button once to end and save the current note.
Pressing the button is required to save your notes to the receiver. The number on the display increases by
1 each time you press the power button after writing a note. The number shows how many notes are saved
to the receiver.
