Hello,
when I draw or write with the Surface pen on the Surface pro 6, do I need to turn on the Bluetooth? I read that it is no necessarily to turn it on. Has anyone tried this before? Thank you.

there is some speculation that bluetooth earphones/earbuds might be harmful, but
there is no real scientific proof. the same RF "radiation" is present in 2.4GHz
WiFi, so would you turn off your router and stop using wireless?
Pens do not have to be paired to write and draw. They do not require Bluetooth,
I know about the wifi radiation and I had stopped using the wifi, I use Ethernet connection and I have also better signal. The point is to use the pen for design and drawing without Bluetooth on.
Thank you for the reply. Bluetooth has electromagnetic radiation and when I hold the pen for hours (design and writing) I think is not a good idea.
Pens do not need to be paired to write, bluetooth is not involved. But why do you want Bluetooth off?
