Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the ballpoint tip is extended. Check if the ink cartridge needs replacement. Try scribbling on a rough surface to restart ink flow. Verify that the correct refill type (Pilot RFNS-GG) is installed.

Retractable mechanism is stiff or jammed

Gently tap the pen tip-down on a firm surface. Check for any visible debris around the click mechanism. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be damaged, and replacement might be necessary.

Ink leaking from the tip

Ensure the tip is fully retracted when not in use. Check that the refill is correctly seated within the pen body. Store the pen tip-up or horizontally. If leaking persists, the refill or pen may be defective.
