Troubleshooting
Pen is not writing upon first use
Firmly scribble in small circles on a piece of paper to break the seal and encourage the ball tip to rotate.
Ink flow is intermittent
Check for dried ink debris on the tip and wipe it clean with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Ink has stopped flowing entirely
The ink cartridge is likely empty; as this is a non-refillable model, the pen must be disposed of and replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pens are "ready-to-use" out of the box with no assembly required. To ensure maximum longevity, store the pens in a cool, dry place and always replace the cap when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out. They are fully compatible with standard paper grades used in schools and offices. If the pen has been sitting unused for an extended period, a brief, vigorous scribble on a scratch pad is usually sufficient to restart the ink flow.
