1. Introduction
The Nokia Digital Pen allows you to create colourful and personal
multimedia messages (MMS). Draw a picture or write a poem, and send
it to the compatible phone that supports Bluetooth wireless technology.
Display the image on your phone or forward it as a multimedia message
to another compatible phone or to an e-mail address.
The Nokia Digital Pen also allows you to write meeting minutes or
personal notes, and save them in your PC. The Nokia Digital Pen can save
up to 100 A5 pages, all of which can be sent to your PC by placing the
pen in the Connectivity Stand, which is connected to your PC via the
USB port.
Read this user’s guide carefully before using the Nokia Digital Pen. For
important safety and maintenance information and for details about
phone features, check the user’s guide of your phone.
■Bluetooth wireless technology
The Nokia Digital Pen is specially designed for compatible phones that
support Bluetooth wireless technology and Object Push Profile, Dial-up
Networking Profile, Generic Object Exchange Profile and Serial Port
Profile (A profile is a set of Bluetooth commands that your phone uses to
control the pen).
With the Bluetooth wireless technology you can connect compatible
devices without cables to other products using Bluetooth wireless
technology. A Bluetooth connection does not require that the phone
and the Nokia Digital Pen be in line of sight, but both devices should be
within 10 metres of each other, although the connection can be subject
to interference from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic
devices.

Introduction

The Nokia Digital Pen is compliant with and adopts Bluetooth
Specification 1.1. However, interoperability between the Nokia Digital
Pen and other products with Bluetooth wireless technology is not
guaranteed because it depends on compatibility. For more information
on the compatibility between the Nokia Digital Pen and other products
with Bluetooth wireless technology, check with your dealer.

■Writing and drawing with the pen
When you write or draw, use the digital paper included in the sales
package. See Figure 3 for using your pen.
• Draw or write within the patterned area of the paper.
• You can change the colour of the ink or the line thickness, see Using
the stylo settings on page 11.
Note that the colour of the ink or the line thickness does not change
on paper while you write. When you send the message to a
compatible phone or display, the changes are shown on the display.
• You can stop writing and put on the cap to continue later. Text and
drawings are saved in the pen until its memory is full.
Once the pen’s memory is full, the new data replaces the oldest one
in the pen’s memory.
• When you run out of paper, you can obtain notepads from
authorized Nokia retail stores. You can also print a specific PDF file
(on CD-ROM) that contains the digital paper pattern on normal
printing paper and use it as digital paper.

Using the notepads
The sales package includes two types of notepad paper, a small MMS
pad (B7 size) and a large notepad (A5 size). Use the smaller notepad for
sending multimedia messages to a compatible phone or to an e-mail
address.
The bigger notepad has two functions. You can either save the notes in a
PC using the PC application included in the sales package or send them
to a compatible phone via a Bluetooth connection. In both cases you
only need to select whether you want to send the notes to PC or to the
phone by selecting the appropriate box on the notepad, see Using the
Nokia Digital Pen with a PC on page 13.
Before starting to use a new notepad, select the box "New notepad" on
the first page. Use only one notepad type (MMS pad and notepad) at a
time, and start using a new pad of the same type only after you have
finished the old pad.
Using the stylo settings
You can change the colour and line thickness of the digital ink while you
write or draw. The stylo settings are listed in the fold-out of the notepad
back cover.
• To change the colour and/or the line thickness, select the respective
selection box on the paper. The pen vibrates briefly to confirm your
selection.
Your selections are used until you put the cap on. When the cap is
put on, the pen returns to the default line colour and thickness.
Note that the pen does not change the colour or the line thickness of the
ink on the paper. The different colour or line thickness become visible
only when you have sent the image or text to a compatible phone or PC.

Battery information

5. Battery information
■Charging and Discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time is noticeably shorter than normal,
it is time to buy a new battery.
Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left
unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Leaving the Digital Pen in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59° F and 77° F). A Digital Pen with a
hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well
below freezing.
