Getting Started
Your SmartGlobe™ Deluxe Edition base uses four AA alkaline
batteries, which are installed in the back of the base as shown. It is
also equipped with an AC/DC adapter connection, which allows the
base speaker to work without batteries.
Your SmartPen™ uses two AAA alkaline batteries. To open the battery
cover, remove the screw on the back of the pen with a Phillips-head
screwdriver and then pull it open from the top as shown. Once you
have installed the batteries in the pen, remove the plastic tag from the
back of the pen located next to the reset button. The tag is only for
demo use.
Turn on the SmartPen™ by pressing the
button.
