Using your new S Pen

Here are some helpful tips for getting started with your new S Pen. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email

• Slide the S Pen into the slot nib first and push until it clicks in. To take it out, push the end in and it pops out.
• When you first slot the pen in, the phone connects it over Bluetooth and charges it. Wait for the S Pen connected message before you try Air actions.
• Hold the pen just above the screen and press the side button to open Air command. If the floating icon doesn't show, turn on Show floating icon in Settings, Advanced features, S Pen.
• S Pen not connecting? Put it back in the slot for a few minutes to charge, then open Settings, Advanced features, S Pen, Air actions, tap the three dots and choose Reset S Pen. Restart the phone if it still won't connect.
• S Pen not working at all? Take off any magnetic case or cover, check your screen protector, then restart the phone. Magnets, metal and some third-party screen protectors can stop an S Pen working.
• To change a worn nib, grip it with tweezers and pull it straight out, then push a new nib in with the pointed writing end facing out. Never reuse an old nib or force one in the wrong way round.
