Replacing a pen nib
To prevent damage to the interactive flat panel’s anti-glare coating, replace your pen nib if it
becomes worn. Four replacement pen nibs are included with the pens, and you can purchase
additional replacements from the Store for SMART Parts (see
smarttech.com/Support/PartsStore
).
To replace a pen nib
1. Grasp the worn nib on the pen with a pair of pliers, and then pull and twist the nib loose.
2. Press the replacement nib into the pen.
Cleaning the screen
Follow these instructions to clean the interactive flat panel screen without damaging its anti-glare
coating or other product components.

and the interactive flat panel.

Cleaning the presence detection sensors
The interactive flat panel has two presence detection sensors on its frame. The sensors should be
inspected regularly for dust and should be cleaned if any obvious dust buildup has occurred.
