Lost my pen. Is the bluetooth always active?

Anonymous

I can't find my pen for my SP3 and I am trying to locate it using my surface's Bluetooth lost to see if it is in the vicinity. The computer isn't picking up any connectivity with the pen. But does the pen run its Bluetooth at all times, or is it turned on by like movement or when it contacts the surface pro??

So final question: is the surface pro pen always running its Bluetooth or is this an ineffective way to find it because it might go to sleep?

I recnetly misplaced my stylus to my SP3. I've seen that there are apps to track a bluetooth signal. I have not tried this yet, will it work? Since the pen is already connected to the SP3 does that help any?

To the both of you guys; you cannot locate the pen with Bluetooth.

The pen stays "offline" until you use it. However, even if it was online, you still cannot locate it.

You can buy a replacement at the Microsoft online store at http://www.microsoft.com if you absolutely cannot find your pen.
