appear, asking if you want to pair your new smartpen.
Select Pair. You’ll only need to pair your smartpen once
with each device you use it with; and once paired, each
time you launch the app, it will automatically connect
to it. You may only be connected to the Livescribe+ app
with one smartpen at a time.

tungsten carbide ballpoint ink cartridge.

twist ring until the ink cartridge is fully extended.

Ink cartridges that meet the same size specications, contain carbon free ink,
and have a leak protection system may also be used, though Livescribe does not
guarantee the performance of non-Livescribe branded replacement ink cartridges.

on and retracts into the housing body when the smartpen is off.

Can I use the same Livescribe 3 smartpen on iOS and Android devices?
Yes! The Livescribe 3 smartpen uses internal memory to store your notes, and
transfers those to any iOS or Android device you pair with. You can even take notes
without your mobile device nearby. The next time they connect all notes will be
copied over. Note: You can pair up to four mobile iOS and Android devices with a
Livescribe 3 smartpen at a time.
How do I pair my Livescribe 3 smartpen with another iOS or Android device?
To pair another device, make sure Livescribe+ is not running.
Turn on your smartpen, and tap the ink tip to the Device Pairing
icon (also found in the front of Livescribe 3 notebooks). Your
smartpen is now in pairing mode (blinking green LED) and
on a new device you can launch Livescribe+ (or choose the
Connect to Smartpen action in the app) and your
smartpen will be located and request permission to pair.
What do I do if my Livescribe 3 smartpen has lost its connection to my
mobile device?
You’ll know you are not connected with your mobile device if the LED indicator
is not solid blue and your app is active. First, you may need to choose the Connect
to Smartpen action in the app. In some instances, you may need to pair the device
(follow the instructions above).
What are the star , ag , and label icons on the bottom of each page
of my Livescribe notebook?
The icons are pre-printed controls that allow you to tag your handwritten content.
Just tap the relevant control on the paper and start writing. Once it is sent to your
device, Livescribe+ will organize that content into easily viewed groupings.
What are the buttons at the top of each page of my
Livescribe notebook?
These icons are shortcut controls that have pre-programmed functions. Details can
be found in the Livescribe+ app as these features are released.

SMARTPEN CARE
•Use your smartpen regularly. Your smartpen contains a lithium-ion battery which
is not replaceable. If left uncharged for an extended period of time, the battery
will lose its capacity. You can prevent this by going through a complete cycle
each month by draining the smartpen all the way down, then giving it a complete
charge for two hours.
•Keep your smartpen rmware current by installing any updates so you’ll have the
best experience.
•
If you clean your smartpen, do not pour water on your smartpen or submerge the
smartpen in water. Your smartpen is not waterproof. Exposure to water inside the
smartpen will damage the electronic components and nullify your warranty. Do
not leave the smartpen exposed in damp environments.
