Manage your XNote Smart Pen's configuration. Pen Settings are only available when the pen is connected via Bluetooth.
How to access:
- From the sidebar: Click the "Pen Connected" button to expand the pen dropdown, then access settings.
- From Settings: Pen Settings section appears in the Settings page when the pen is connected.
3.9.1 Pen Settings
The Pen Settings section (visible only when pen is connected) shows:
- Device Info : Pen name and firmware version (read-only).
- Auto Power-Off : Set the idle time before pen turns off. Options range from "Never" to "10 hours" (in 1-hour increments). Default: 6 hours.
- Pen Sounds : Toggle the pen's beep sounds on or off. Default: on.
Settings are synced across all your devices. An info banner notes: "Settings are synced across all your devices. Changes are saved automatically."
Click "Apply Settings to Pen" to push the current settings to the pen. Settings are also automatically applied when the pen first connects (after a 2-second delay).
Note: Unlike the mobile app, Mirror Writing and Color Picker settings are not available on web. These are mobile-only features (see 2.8.1).
PIN Lock:
When multiple pens were open in the same environment, the wrong pen could be selected during connection, and notes could be transferred to another account. PIN Lock prevents this: to link a pen to an account, you need to enter the 4-digit code for that pen. You can set or change the PIN from this screen. When you change the PIN, the new code will be requested from other devices connected to the pen.
Important:
- If you forget your PIN, it cannot be recovered. The only way is to reset the pen to factory settings, and this will delete any untransferred notes on the pen.
- Resetting does not remove the pen from your account. If you are selling or transferring the pen, you will also need to perform the "Remove pen from account" operation.
Click "Apply Settings to Pen" to push the current settings to the pen. Settings are also automatically applied when the pen first connects (after a 2-second delay).

3.9.2 Factory Reset
Factory Reset completely resets your XNote Smart Pen to its original factory settings. This erases all pen data and settings permanently. Your account, notebooks, and synced notes are not affected.
The Factory Reset button is located in the "Danger Zone" section at the bottom of the Pen Settings area (red styling).
Step 1 : Click "Factory Reset Pen" in the Danger Zone section.
Step 2 : First Confirmation
A warning dialog will appear:
"This will completely reset your pen to factory settings. All pen data and settings will be lost. This action cannot be undone."
Click "Continue" to proceed.
Step 3 : Second Confirmation
A second dialog will ask:
"Are you absolutely sure? This will erase all pen data permanently. The pen will disconnect and reset to factory settings. This action cannot be undone."
Click "Reset Now" to confirm.
The button shows "Resetting..." with a spinner during the process. Once complete, the pen will disconnect automatically. You can re-pair it via Bluetooth (see 3.4).
