Getting to Know Your SMART Pen Tray

Eraser
Black Stylus
The Ready Light
When illuminated, this LED indicates the
current state of your SMART Board.
When the Ready Light flashes between
red and green, the Pen Tray is in the
process of powering up. Steady red
indicates the Pen Tray is receiving
power. Steady green occurs when
SMART Board Software is installed and
active on the connected computer. It
indicates your Pen Tray is fully
operational: power is being received and
the hardware and installed software are
fully integrated.
Using a Pen Tray Stylus
To write over top of the computer image,
just pick up one of the four colored
styluses from the Pen Tray and write on
the active SMART Board.
To write in a different color, place the
stylus back in its slot and select another.
Since the color recognition comes from
the slots in the Pen Tray rather than the
styluses themselves, you must ensure
that each stylus is returned to its proper
slot (the slot with the corresponding
color) when you finish using it.

You also have the option of changing any or
all of these styluses to highlighters,
assigning any one of an array of colors to
them, or altering their width. The size of the
area erased with the Pen Tray eraser can
also be easily changed. Turn to page 17 for
information on configuring the styluses and
eraser.
