Installing and pairing

Note 

For displays compatible with the SMART MultiStylus accessory kit:

The SMART MultiStylus accessory kit installs easily with supported SMART Board interactive displays. Physical mounting and connecting instructions are in the textless installation guide included with the product.

System requirements

Important 

The SMART MultiStylus accessory kit is compatible only with supported SMART Board interactive displays running iQ 4.7.2 or later. For instructions on updating your display's software, refer to the product card included with the accessory kit.

Before installing

Consider the following:

  • Install the docking station on either side of the display.

  • Ensure the mounting surface is clean.

  • Allow enough space around the docking station when mounted to prevent damage.

  • Avoid locations exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures.

Connecting the docking station

After mounting the docking station, connect the docking station's USB-A cable end to USB Service Port 2 on the display.

Important 

Don't connect the docking station to a standard USB port. Connecting to a non-service USB port prevents the docking station from functioning correctly.

When connected correctly, the docking station’s LED will be a solid blue. The LED color indicates its power and pairing status.

Pairing the multistylus

Pair the multistylus with the docking station before using it or customizing it in the SMART MultiStylus app

To pair the multistylus

  1. Place the multistylus in the docking station.

  2. Leave the multistylus docked until the light on the docking station turns solid green.

    Note 

    The multistylus pairs automatically while docked. No additional setup or software configuration needed.

Once paired, the display recognizes the multistylus and it's ready to use. You can customize its settings in the SMART MultiStylus app.

Important 

The multistylus pairs only when docked and the docking station connects to the display. If the multistylus isn't docked, the display won't recognize it.
