Overview The Sympodium® interactive pen display works with your computer and SMART Board™ software to create an interactive presentation environment. Both the ID350 and the ID370 include dynamic and interactive tools for creating presentations and lessons. You can control applications and create notes using the tethered pen, all while facing the audience.
Use the pen tool buttons to control the function of the pen tool. You can select from different digital ink colors and an eraser button. • Use the function buttons to perform a right-click and to access specific SMART Board tools, such as Notebook™ software. •...
Keep the computer keyboard and the mouse close to the interactive pen display, because the pen won’t function until you install SMART Board software and open SMART Board tools. You should also keep your computer within 19 1/2' (6.0 m) of the unit. This distance protects against signal degradation that occurs with a longer USB cable.
Changing the Angle of the Interactive Pen Display You can adjust the stand to change the angle of the interactive pen display. NOTE: For information on how to remove or install the stand, see page 10. To change the angle of the interactive pen display 1.
To connect a projector or monitor to the interactive pen display 1. Connect a VGA (RGB) video cable (not supplied) to the RGB Video OUT receptacle on the interactive pen display. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Video Input receptacle on your projector or monitor. For details about the projector’s connectors, see the instructions that came with your projector.
Installing SMART Board Software Your interactive pen display comes with a SMART Board software CD, which you can use to install SMART Board software on your computer. NOTE: You’ll need to use the computer’s keyboard or mouse to perform the installation, as your screen is not touch sensitive until you install and open the SMART Board tools.
Because the SMART Board tools must be running before you can use the interactive pen display, ensure the SMART Board tools open automatically when you turn on the computer. When you install SMART Board software, select the option to start the SMART Board tools automatically when you start your computer.
Adjusting the Screen If the interactive screen receives a signal with appropriate horizontal and vertical frequencies, it automatically adjusts the horizontal and vertical position, phase and pitch settings. However, you can fine-tune the screen display settings by using adjustment buttons on the interactive pen display.
1. (Windows operating systems) Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray, and press Orient. (Mac computers) Press and hold the SMART Board icon in the Dock, and press Open Orient. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions. For more details, see the SMART Board software online Help.
Securing the Interactive Pen Display You can secure the interactive pen display by attaching a cable (not supplied) between the security slot that’s built into the back of the unit and an immovable object. NOTE: This figure shows an ID370, but the security slot is in a similar position on the ID350.
For example, you can integrate your interactive pen display with a projector and a SMART Board interactive whiteboard. NOTE: If you want to use a video cable longer than 50' (15 m), you must boost the video signal with a video distribution amplifier.
