Safety instructions
General precautions
• Keep electrical devices out of the reach of children! Never allow children
to use electrical devices unsupervised. They cannot always recognise
possible hazards.
• Small parts can be life-threatening if swallowed. Also note that there is a
risk of suffocation if air passages are blocked by the plastic packaging.
• New devices may emit a slight odour during the first few hours of opera-
tion. This is normal and disappears after a short time. Until then ventilate
the room regularly.
Intended use
The digital pen is an information technology device. It is exclusively designed
for recording graphics or texts. Any other use is not in keeping with its intended purpose.
The manufacturer does not assume any liability if the device ...
• is not used as intended.
• is damaged or modified prior to connection and use.
The digital pen may only be used for private purposes. It is not to be used for
industrial or commercial purposes.
Legal stipulations
• The device may only be connected to computers which comply with this
product from a safety perspective and with regard to electromagnetic
compatibility and shielding quality.
• Manufacturer: TARGA GmbH, Postfach 2244, D-59482 Soest
• The warranty period is 3 years from the purchase date. The warranty
conditions are given at the end of this manual. In case of warranty claims,

Notes on conformity
This device conforms fully with the requirements and provisions of the EMC
Directive 2004/108/EC. The Declaration of Conformity can be found at the
end of this manual.
This device complies with the standards EN 55022: 2006 and EN 55024:
1998 + A1: 2001 + A2: 2003.
Compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed in the event of
unauthorised modification or changes to the device. The manufacturer does
not accept liability for any damage incurred as a result.
Operating environment/Environmental conditions
• Protect the device against moisture, vibration, dust, heat and direct
sunlight, as these could damage the product.
• The device should not be used outdoors or in tropical climates.
Operational safety
• Always read and comply with the instructions in the documentation of
your computer before connecting the base unit of the digital pen.
• If this product is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, condensation can lead to the accumulation of moisture which can cause a short
circuit. In this case wait until the device has reached ambient temperature
before use.
• To disconnect a cable, always pull the connector and never the cable.
Ensure that the cables are not kinked. Always position the cables so that
they cannot be stepped on or cause an obstruction.
• Never place any burning objects such as candles or any objects containing liquids such as vases, cups or glasses next to the device.
• Keep the device away from high-frequency and magnetic interference
sources (e.g. TVs, mobile phones, loudspeakers) to prevent functional
faults.
• Only use batteries of the same type and the same charging capacity. Always ensure correct polarity of the batteries. Remove the batteries if you
will not be using the device for a prolonged period of time, as they can
leak. Contact with the skin will cause chemical burns. For this reason it is
absolutely essential to remove leaking batteries with acid-resistant protective gloves.
• Never try to recharge batteries and never throw them into an open fire
(risk of explosion).
• Remember to protect the environment. Used batteries should not be disposed of in domestic waste. They must be taken to a collection point for
old batteries.

dispose of old electrical and electronic devices as municipal
waste. Please only dispose of this product at a collection point
for old devices in your area.
The correct disposal of old devices in this manner will prevent environmental
pollution and human health hazards.
