Charge from a PC
To charge the pen battery from a PC, do the following:
1. Open the USB cradle, and place it on a flat surface.

2. Switch on the PC, and plug the USB connector of the cradle to the
USB port on the PC.
3. To start charging, remove the pen
cap, and insert the pen into the
USB cradle so that the connectors
on the pen are facing the
connectors on the cradle.
If you use a laptop PC that is not
plugged into a wall outlet,
charging the pen battery from the
PC increases the demand on the
PC battery and reduces battery life.
When you connect the cradle to your PC for the first time and the PC
is running the Microsoft Windows XP or 2000 operating system, the
pen is detected as new hardware and you are asked whether you
want to install the digital pen drivers. If you want to only charge the
pen battery and do not intend to transfer data from the pen to the
PC, you do not need to install the pen drivers, and you can exit the
dialog box.
While the battery is charging, the battery indicator slowly flashes
red, yellow, or green depending on the charge level of the battery.
4. When the battery is fully charged, the battery indicator turns solid
green. Remove the pen from the cradle by lifting it, or unplug the
USB connector from the PC.
