Magic Pro 13

001 Home Screen Overview

The Home screen has a clean, streamlined design that makes operation faster and more personalized.

Top status bar: check the drawing tablet’s status and notifications.

Bottom dock: keep your frequently used apps here; you can remove or replace them.

Besides configuring Home screen settings (wallpaper, theme, widgets, and so on) in Settings, you can also press and hold a blank area of the Home screen to enter the Home screen settings screen, as shown below:

002 Power On/Off and Restart

Power on

Press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, and release it when the XPPen startup screen appears

Power off or restart

Press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds; when the prompt screen appears (as shown below), choose Power off or Restart.

Note:

Restarting the tablet regularly clears its running cache and keeps it in good condition; if the tablet is not working properly, you can also try restarting it.

Force power off

If the tablet is not working properly and cannot be recovered by restarting, try pressing and holding the power button for more than 10 seconds to force a power off.

004 Charging and Reverse Charging

Charging the tablet

You can charge the drawing tablet in the following ways:

1. We recommend charging with the official standard charger and data cable
2. You can also use a charger and data cable from another tablet (or phone) brand (a 9V2A or 5V3A charger is preferred)
3. You can also charge from a PC as follows:

Connect the tablet to the PC with a Type-C cable (a USB adapter may be needed);

Notes:

1. Charging is recommended while the tablet’s screen is off (charging while the tablet is in use will take longer).
2. Charging with the official standard adapter and data cable is preferred.

Reverse charging for other phones

The tablet has a 10200mAh battery when fully charged. When you are out and your Android phone is low on battery, you can temporarily charge the phone from the tablet

Step 1: Connect the two ends of a USB-C to USB-C cable to the tablet and the phone respectively;

Step 2: In the pop-up on the tablet, select the 2nd option: Use as power supply.

Notes:

1. Only Android phones can be charged this way; iOS phones are not supported;

Reverse charging has a low power output and is intended for emergencies, not for charging your phone on a daily basis.

005 Using the Stylus

The tablet’s stylus is a battery-free pressure-sensitive pen; it needs no power supply and no Bluetooth pairing — just pick it up and draw.

Stylus button

The stylus body has a side button that supports system-level actions such as going back to the Home screen, returning to the previous page, and opening recent apps,

and it can also work with in-app shortcuts for eraser/brush switching and color selection.

006 Finger Touch Rejection

This tablet supports both finger and stylus input, and by default stylus input takes priority: while the system detects the stylus in use, finger input is ignored.

In addition, we have designed 2 ways to prevent accidental finger touches while drawing with the stylus:

1. Use the anti-mistouch glove

One glove is included as standard; wear it on your hand while drawing to prevent accidental finger touches from affecting your work.

1. Disable finger touch

This switch is designed specifically for stylus drawing. Once finger touch is disabled, you can create with complete focus without worrying about any accidental finger touches. There are 3 ways to access it:

1. Toggle the physical button on the top to turn the “Disable finger touch” switch on or off;
2. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the quick menu, and turn the “Disable finger touch” switch on or off;

1. Or go to Settings - Advanced features - Disable finger touch.

007 Quick Sketch on Screen-Off

Once this feature is enabled, you can press the stylus side button and double-tap the screen while the device’s screen is off to start drawing.

To enable it: Settings - Advanced features - Quick sketch on screen-off
