Installing

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 provided 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 

Do not connect the docking station to a standard USB port. The docking station will not function correctly if it is connected to a non‑service USB port.

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

The multistylus must be paired with the docking station before it can be used or customized in the SMART MultiStylus app.

To pair the multistylus

  1. Place the multistylus in the docking station.

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

    Note 

    Pairing happens automatically while the multistylus is docked—no additional setup or software configuration is required.

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

Important 

The multistylus pairs only when it's in the docking station and the docking station is connected to the display. If the multistylus is not docked, the display will not recognize it.
