  1. Make sure A14 is compatible with your iPad. If A14 doesn't work, we highly recommend you send a picture of 【iPad model name】. Attached are example photos of the iPad model.

  2. If the Bluetooth connects fine but A14 doesn't work, it's quite possible that your ipad is still paired with an original apple pencil, please unpair it before pairing A14.

  7. A14 can’t pull the control center down, notification bar down or swipe up between apps. Neither do other active pencils including the original Apple pencil can.

  8. If the model is applicable, and the battery is sufficient, but A14 can't write consistently, please try to loosen the pen tip a bit or replace the tip.

  9. It is not recommended to stick a too thick tempered film on the screen, which may cause the stylus to stop responding.
