Sympodium ID250 Interactive Pen Display
Use the Sympodium® interactive pen display and the powerful features of SMART Board™ software to control and
write over computer applications.
The Interactive Pen Display
The pen display has three sets of buttons and indicators: a row of display control buttons, which fine tune display
properties; a group of pen-tool buttons; and a set of function buttons. The tethered pen is like a mouse, because it
allows you to control your applications, but it also enables you to write or draw in digital ink over any application.

Checking the Status of the Interactive Pen Display
The power indicator glows blue when the unit is receiving power and a video signal. If it glows orange, ensure that
your computer is turned on and that the cable is correctly connected to the pen display and the computer.
The status indicator turns blue when the tethered pen touches the screen. If it doesn't turn blue, make sure that
the USB cable is connected to the pen display and the computer, and ensure that SMART Board software is running
on the computer.
