3.2 How to Use?

Once pairing is complete, you can begin using WritePad. It features three main modes, each offering different functions. Before you start, let's go over its wake-up and sleep modes, as well as some important tips.

When you lift the pen from the pen slot, WritePad will automatically enter wake-up mode. You can also briefly press the power button or use the note and comment features to wake it up. When you return the pen to its holder, the device will enter deep sleep mode. With a standby time of approximately 90 days, WritePad minimizes the need for frequent charging and maintenance.

WritePad runs on the Android operating system. It is not a standalone device and must be used in conjunction with StarryHub.

In addition, WritePad supports wireless connections, multi-screen synchronization, OTA (online upgrades), note-taking, and annotation features, and can also function as a mouse or touchpad.

Note Mode 

• Press the Note button to enter the Note mode, and a whiteboard writing interface will appear on the screen.

• StarryHub will automatically open the Note app, and you can write directly on the WritePad. The content will be displayed on the StarryHub screen without any delay. It also supports repeated edits and color switching. You can save valuable content and find the file on the WritePad within the StarryHub interface. You can also share it on your phone.

• To modify the content, simply use the back end of the WritePen to gently erase it.

• To exit the Note mode, click "Quit."

Mouse Mode
