The method to turn on your stylus pen depends on the type of stylus you have. Some stylus pens work without needing to be turned on, while others require a power button activation or charging. The Youtube video titled "Stylus Pen for iPad" indicates that the stylus pen discussed works without Bluetooth. Here's a general guide:

Types of Stylus Pens and How to Activate Them:

  • Passive Stylus (Capacitive Stylus): These stylus pens don't usually have an on/off switch. They work by mimicking your finger on the screen. There is no need to turn them on.
  • Active Stylus: Active stylus pens require power and often connect via Bluetooth. These pens will typically have an on/off switch.

Steps to Turn on an Active Stylus Pen:

  1. Locate the Power Button: Look for a button, often at the top or along the side of the stylus.
  2. Press and Hold: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds. Some pens may have an LED indicator that lights up to show it's powered on.
  3. Check for LED Indicator: The LED light usually indicates the pen is on and sometimes also shows the battery level.
  4. Charging: According to the YouTube video description, some stylus pens can work for 20 hours with an hour and a half of charging. Make sure your stylus is charged, if applicable.

Troubleshooting

If your active stylus is not turning on, consider these points:

  • Battery: Ensure the stylus is charged. Connect it to a power source using the provided charging cable.
  • Power Button Issues: Try pressing the power button several times, or holding it for a longer duration.
  • Compatibility: Verify that the stylus is compatible with your device.
