When putting the battery in, it is slightly tilted. Grasping the pen a certain way interferes with the contact with the lead and it stops working?

Make sure you have the 2 parts of the pen tightly pressed together. If they are, the battery shouldn't move to lose contact. But then again, it is a bit like a flashlight and if you drop a flashlight a couple of times it won't work all the time either. :-)

The battery fits snugly into the prong which does tilt slightly but the two pieces screw together and the battery is held in place in the top gray cylinder half. So the battery does not move around when waved about. However if you drop it it will effect the pen obviously. Just be careful when putting in another battery. ^_^

If the battery is tilted wen you put it in, you may have put the battery in upside-down (the flat end of the battery should meet the spring). If it is still tilted after putting in correctly, that is ok, because as soon as you screw on the top of the pen, it re-aligns the battery. Grasping the pen should not cause any problems, also this pen doesn't have led. If you are still experiencing problems you can always ask for an exchange.

It's usually just the connector not being seated properly. You may have to disconnect and reconnect the battery after reseating it.

Yeah! It's a spin on pen, you just grab the base and twist it to remove the top (where the battery goes) and then inside you place the battery (which gives weight to the base) then you spin it closed and tighten it, the only issue so far is that you can strip the plastic if you're not careful.

See if there is a plastic tab that is preventing he battery from making contact. If it has one you may have to pull it out. If it's not that then it's just because the unit is likely defective. It's a super cheaply made unit.

I'm going to answer my own question with the reply from Wacom via email on May 7, 2014: Thanks for writing in. Great question; there have been issues with the cursor being offset from the pen. I'm not sure what causes that, but there is not a way to correct it. I would suggest taking your tablet into a Best Buy and testing the pen there before you purchase it.

Well, not properly, but is like to have it. You click on where is the battery and then there is no contact, and the battery is save inside the hole. Regards. Jordi

Just insert your thumb and middle finger on each side of the battery slide and simply pull it out. There should be very little resistance. If it doesn't come out it could be sign that the battery has leaked and has caused the battery holder to be corroded in place. If that is the case, you will probably need a pair of pliers to free it. Then clean the contacts and install new batteries.

There's some play in mine as well. That part doesn't bother so much as the fact that you have to unscrew the pen itself to cover the pen tip.

Might be battery contact. Add a little piece of paper to keep it firmly inserted

Try chenging the orientation of the batteries To flip plop. Thats what happened to me.

The short answer is because you have purchased a low quality product. The longer answer likely has something to do with the connection being made when you push down on the stem (?) of the pen light. Try moving the entire carriage either forward or backwards using something stiff, yet soft enough (so as not to damage the light).

Think everyone has this problem. Below the display is a small button like protrusion, push in on that and, volia, the battery door opens on the other side. The plus side of the battery goes down in the holder. You'll love this guage, it works great.

I have sometimes found that it helps to remove the tip and cartridge from the pen and squeeze the cartridge while it is attached to the tip. I've had this issue with other pens. I usually squeeze a drop out on to sme waste paper. But it could squirt out and make a big mess so be careful where you do it. It might also be that the cartridge is seated fully on to the tip so you might want to push it all the way on by hand

I never tried it before but I'm assuming that it should be due to the design at bottom of the pencil; which contains a hard grip. Hope this help

Yes if you look at the remote and where the positive and negitive terminals are for the batter to touch they are not touching . When you look at it close you can tell the battery is not making good contact, get something to bring a little of the coiled protion out so the battery will make contact . I sent the first one of the units back because I could not get the remote to work and on the second one I noticed this and once fixed it has been workinig just fine . Make sure that you do not break the plastic at the coiled wire just bring out the end just a little so it will make contact. Once this is fixed everything should be ok.

I have found that if the battery is not properly charged, It will cause the grip to not work.

I own this same pen and have not had a problem with short battery. I have only charges it once and have used it a couple of times without any battery problems. It may be a defect.
