Product Information
Full details
The CROSS Tech3+ Multifunction Pen is designed for professionals and students who value versatility and convenience in a single writing instrument. Its key benefit is combining multiple writing tools—two ballpoints, a pencil, an eraser, and a stylus—into one sleek design, reducing pocket clutter. A potential caveat is the learning curve for the twist mechanism to switch between functions. This pen features a durable, chrome-plated finish with a classic CROSS incised line pattern, making it both functional and stylish. It offers a smooth writing experience with its integrated components.

FAQs
How do I change the ballpoint refills?
Unscrew the stylus tip. Twist the barrel to expose the ballpoint mechanism. Pull out the old refill and insert the new one, ensuring it is seated correctly. Then, twist to retract the mechanism and screw the stylus back on.
What size are the pencil leads?
The CROSS Tech3+ uses standard 0.5mm pencil leads.
Is the stylus compatible with all touchscreens?
The 8mm stylus is designed for compatibility with most capacitive touchscreens, such as those found on smartphones and tablets. Performance may vary slightly depending on the device and screen protector used.
What does the Lifetime Mechanical Guarantee cover?
The CROSS Lifetime Mechanical Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship for the mechanical components of the pen. It does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or finishes.
Can I replace the stylus tip with a different type of attachment?
The stylus tip is designed to unscrew and reveal the eraser. It is not intended to be replaced with other types of attachments. The included eraser is replaceable.
How do I clean the metallic finish?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the surface. For smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Pen or pencil tip does not extend
Ensure you are twisting the barrel in the correct direction for the desired tip. If it feels jammed, check for debris in the mechanism or try gently rotating back and forth.
Stylus is not responsive on touchscreen
Wipe the stylus tip with a clean, dry cloth to remove any residue. Ensure the screen protector is not interfering with capacitive touch. Check that the stylus is properly screwed onto the pen body.
Eraser is worn out
Unscrew the stylus tip to access the eraser. Replace with a new CROSS eraser (#8753) or a compatible small eraser.
Pencil lead breaks easily or won't advance
Ensure you are using standard 0.5mm leads. Do not extend too much lead at once. If the mechanism is jammed, try advancing and retracting the lead multiple times or carefully removing any stuck lead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- To use the pen, twist the barrel until the desired writing tip (pen or pencil) is exposed.
- For the pencil, ensure a 0.5mm lead is loaded. The Tech3+ comes with three leads and instructions for loading.

Care Instructions:
- Clean the chrome finish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain its luster.
- Periodically check and clean the twist mechanism if it feels stiff; a small amount of lubricant specifically designed for pens may be used sparingly if needed.
- Store the pen in its premium gift box or a pen case to protect the finish and components.
