Pens
The pens have rubberized grip areas and are colored to match four colors of
digital ink: black, red, green and blue.
You can use dry-erase markers to replace the included pens, as long as
they’re a similar shape, don’t scratch or mark your interactive whiteboard
surface and reflect infrared light. If the substitute doesn’t reflect infrared
light, the pen tray sensors might not detect the presence of the pen.
N N OTE
Some of SMART’s older pens aren’t designed to reflect infrared light and the pen tray sensors might
not detect them reliably.
T TI P
Wrap light-colored tape around a substitute pen to improve the reflection of infrared light and help
with tool detection.
Eraser
The eraser resembles a rectangular chalkboard eraser. You can use a
substitute object, as long as it has a similar shape, reflects infrared light and
doesn’t scratch or mark the interactive whiteboard surface.
VGA connection kit
The VGA connection kit allows you to connect a laptop to your interactive
whiteboard system using a VGA cable. The end of the VGA connection kit
can be attached to either side of the interactive whiteboard or to a wall in a
convenient location.
Optional accessories
You can add a variety of accessories to your interactive whiteboard to best meet your specific needs.
Purchase these items from your authorized SMART reseller when you order your interactive
whiteboard system or later.
