XNote Web supports pen pairing via the Web Bluetooth API. This step appears after completing the onboarding flow, and you can also access pen connection from the sidebar at any time (see 3.6.1).
Browser requirement: Chrome, Edge, or Opera is required. If your browser does not support Web Bluetooth, a warning message will appear: "Web Bluetooth is not supported in this browser. Please use Chrome, Edge, or Opera."
Step 1 : Prepare Your Pen
A visual guide shows you three preparation steps with images:
1. Remove the cap to turn on your XNote Smart Pen
2. Enable Bluetooth on your computer
3. Make sure the pen nib is properly attached
Step 2 : Connect Your Pen
Click "Connect Pen". Your browser will show a native Bluetooth device picker dialog. Select "XNote Smart Pen" from the list.
While connecting, the button changes to "Connecting..." with a loading spinner. The page title updates to "Connecting..." with a message: "Select your XNote Smart Pen from the browser popup."
Step 3 : Connected
A green checkmark confirms the connection is successful. The page shows "Pen connected!" with the message "Your XNote Smart Pen is ready to use." You will be automatically redirected to the Home dashboard.
If connection fails:
The page shows "Connection failed" with an error message. Click "Try Again" to restart the scanning process. Make sure your pen is turned on and nearby.
Note: Your pen can only be connected in one browser tab at a time. If the pen is already connected in another tab, you will see an error. Close the other tab or disconnect the pen there first.
