within the recording area.
For your notes to be captured,
you must write at least 2 inches
away from the sensor. If you
write too close to the sensor, it
will alert you to move back into
the writing area.

Using the Eraser Cap
Learn about all of the great features of Equil
Smartmarker through the tutorials and user
guide included in the Equil Note App.
Now you can start capturing whiteboard notes
directly to your smart phone, tablet or computer!
The eraser cap is an accessory that allows you to
make small corrections to your whiteboard notes
as you are drawing.
Note: The eraser cap only works in its capped
position on the Smartmarker. Do not erase with
the cap in your hand or placed on the back of the
Smartmarker. When using the eraser cap, make
sure the eraser felt is completely touching the wall.

Color Action Meaning
When recording notes directly to the sensor
memory, there are a few helpful indicators that
appear around the New Page button.
Memory
You can also take notes without your phone, tablet or
computer. All of your strokes will be saved in memory,
and you can import them back to your device when
it’s convenient.
The receiver memory can store at least 10,000 pages of
written content, so let your ideas flow!
When switching modes, wait until the new page LED
button finishes rotating before drawing again to avoid
losing strokes.

Troubleshooting
My marker notes appear
on the whiteboard but not
on my device running
Equil Note.
Make sure your sensor
and Smartmarker are
fully charged.
Confirm that
Smartmarker is paired
with your device.
Make sure you are
pressing firmly enough
while drawing.
The sensor is beeping
when I draw, and the red
LED lights are glowing.
You may be drawing
beyond the capture
area of your board
space. Draw closer to
the sensor.
The sensor or eraser is
sliding on the board surface.
The Smartmarker sleeve
keeps buzzing even when
I’ve stopped drawing.
Your magnetic whiteboard
may not be thick enough
for the sensor magnets.
Please use the included
mounting plates with
Command Adhesive tape.
The neck of the dry erase
marker is most likely
bent. Replace the bent
marker with another dry
erase marker inside the
sleeve.
