10. Maintenance, care and cleaning
signotec signature pads are maintenance-free. No technical components need to be replaced regularly
or depending on use. You should handle the device with care, maintain it regularly and replace
accessories promptly if they show signs of use in order to increase the device’s service life as much
as possible.
10.1. Screen protectors
signotec offers special screen protectors as an accessory for the displays of the signotec Sigma
and signotec Omega. These screen protectors are optionally available in packs of three and can
also be applied to the sensor surface at a later date. You can conveniently exchange an older
screen protector for a new one as soon as it shows signs of wear and tear. In this manner, the
screen protector offers reliable and long-term protection against scratches and soiling of the
sensor.
Tip: The screen protection can also be applied ex-works for an additional charge.
10.2. Pen and pen cartridge
The signotec pads are equipped with a robust and maintenance-free
pen that does not require batteries. The pen’s realistic size and
spring-loaded cartridge makes the user feel like they are writing on
paper. The pen can be attached to the pen holder. The pen is pre-
attached to the device with a high-quality cord preventing it becom-
ing lost.
10.3. Replacing the cartridge
To replace the cartridge, simply pull the pen apart and remove the old cartridge. Insert the new
cartridge into the pen and then put it back together. When inserting the cartridge, please make
sure that the lower end of the cartridge is correctly inserted into the recess at the bottom of the
pen. Otherwise, the head of the pen cannot be fitted correctly, which could damage the cartridge
or casing.
10.4. Replacing the pen
It takes only a few steps to replace the pen. The cord is attached to the eyelet of the pen with a
loop. The loop is located at the top of the pen and is separated from the rest of the cord using a
small piece of metal. Pull the loop with the piece of metal towards the device distancing it from
the pen as far as possible. You can then pass the pen through the small loop so that the knot is
released. The cord is now pulled through the eyelet on the pen. Proceed in reverse order to attach
a new pen to the cord.
