Troubleshooting

How do I save my artwork/access saved artwork?

Your artwork is automatically saved to the My Artwork folder. To
view saved artwork, open the My Artwork folder and tap on the
desired item to open it.

How to I email/share my artwork?

You can email your artwork after opening it and then tapping on the
Email Button. An internet connection is required.

My stylus doesn’t work.

1. Replace or re-install the battery, checking that the polarity (+ and

-) is correct.

2. Try resetting the stylus. To do so, use a pen or similar item to press
in the Reset Button on the back of the stylus while it is on.

3. Make sure the holes at the top of the stylus are not covered.

4. Make sure the iPad’s mic hole is not covered by a hand or case.

5. Be sure you set the appropriate ID in the settings section of the
App to match the LED on your stylus.

Stylus is not turning ON or OFF.

Hold the Power Button down for 2 seconds. Note: the Stylus has a
battery saving feature which automatically turns it off after 6
minutes of inactivity. The red Power Indicator Light shows when the
Stylus is on.

When I shake the stylus, the app won’t respond.

The stylus must be ON and then shaken UP and DOWN 3 or more
times.

Maintenance

Keep the unit as dry and clean as possible. Do not allow dirt, small
particles, water, or other liquids to enter the unit’s casing.

If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a
month or longer, have an adult remove the battery to extend its life and
prevent leaking or corrosion.

For Best Results:

• DO NOT cover the holes at the top of the stylus or you may block

the signals used to communicate with the iPad.

• DO NOT cover the iPad’s microphone at any time as doing so may

block the signal the Stylus uses to communicate with the iPad.

• DO NOT use the Stylus and your iPad in very noisy environments

or places with interference such as near TVs, etc. as some noises
can interfere with the proper operation of the Stylus.

• DO NOT use more than one Stylus in the same room on the same

channel. See ‘Using Two Styli’ for more information.

• DO NOT press down hard on the iPad while using the Stylus.
