Quick Reference
Getting Started with the AirLiner Wireless Slate
Use the AirLiner™ wireless slate to control your computer applications and make notes on your SMART Board™ interactive
whiteboard, or any computer projected image, from anywhere in the room. Wireless technology allows you to teach or
present from up to 54 feet (16 meters) away, and it allows students or participants to give feedback using the slate from their
desks.
The AirLiner Slate Overview
The AirLiner wireless slate has two customizable function buttons and an underlay that offers a variety of pen tools and quick
access to the most frequently used SMART Board Tools. The wireless mouse and the tethered pen allow you to control your
applications. The tethered pen also enables you to write or draw in digital ink.
The Cordless Mouse and Tethered Pen
The cordless mouse works like a traditional mouse when used on the surface of the slate. The tethered pen offers all of the
same functions as the mouse, but it also enables you to write or draw in digital ink over your applications. To see where your
cursor is on the screen, hold the pen about 1/4" (0.5 cm) above the surface of the AirLiner wireless slate. Tap the pen tip
onto the surface of the wireless slate to click on an object. Tap twice for a double-click. If you wish to write in black digital
ink, push and hold the pen’s side switch towards the tip of the pen, and write on the slate. To erase, push and hold the side
switch away from the tip, and sweep in a smooth motion over the areas you wish to erase. Releasing the side switch returns
the pen to cursor mode.
Function Buttons
The AirLiner wireless slate has two function buttons. By default the left function button opens the Floating Tools toolbar and
the right function button launches Notebook™ software.

The Underlay Tool Strip

used features of SMART Board software. The top button returns your pen to a left mouse-
click, the next five buttons allow you to erase or to change your pen color to black, blue,
red or green. With the remaining buttons you can change your next pen touch to a right-
click, access an On-Screen Keyboard, launch the Capture toolbar or launch the Floating
Tools toolbar.
