Using the ActivPen

Ignore this section if you are not using ActivInspire with an ActivBoard or ActivSlate.

 

 

This sections gives some tips on using the ActivPen with your ActivBoard.

The ActivPen can do everything that a standard computer mouse does.

Moving the cursor

Hold the ActivPen's nib lightly on the board; don't push the pen nib in. Move the ActivPen around. The cursor will follow your pen.

Left-click

Tap the ActivPen's nib firmly but quickly into the ActivBoard.

Right-click

Hover the ActivPen nib over the ActivBoard, less than a centimetre away from the board. Press the button on the side of the ActivPen.

Click and drag

Click on the object you want to move, hold the ActivPen's nib down on the board and then move the ActivPen. The object you have clicked moves with the ActivPen.

Double-click

Two firm but quick taps with the ActivPen's nib perform the same action as a double-click with a mouse.
