Troubleshooting

If you have questions or when trouble occurs, look at this first.

Contact your dealer if the problem still persists.

Cannot use the sensor / No icon is displayed
Is operating temperature appropriate?The sensor may not function properly in other than ambient temperature of 10°C~40°C.At low temperatures environment (10 °C), you may not be able to draw accurately if there are some difference in height (4 cm) to the sensor mounting surface and the drawing surface. At low temperatures, mount and use the sensor on the same plane with the drawing surface (difference in height is 0 cm).
