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.

AC/DC adapter

Please remove the batteries from the base unit before plugging in the AC/DC adapter. Otherwise the unit may be damaged. Plug the adapter into the adapter jack (center positive type) at the rear side of the unit. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

Auto off

The SmartPen™ will automatically shut off after five minutes of not being used, and the base speaker can only be used when plugged into the SmartPen™.

Low battery indicator

A flashing red LED light indicates that the SmartPen™ is running out of batteries.

Note: The clock in SmartPen™ will be inaccurate when out of batteries for over 2 minutes.
