With the AirLiner wireless slate you can interact wirelessly with your SMART Board interactive whiteboard or Sympodium interactive pen display from 52 feet (16 m) away. The battery-free tethered pen lets you control any software application, write notes and highlight information in digital ink SMART’s AirLiner wireless slate enables you to teach from anywhere and allows students to interact with information from their seats. Multiple slate users can write at the same time as someone at the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.


 * Tips for using the Airliners:**

From http://blog.teqsmart.org/?p=51
 * Tip #1:** Hold the tethered pen like you would a normal pen. It should be comfortable in your hand.
 * Tip #2:** Place your hand against the [|AirLiner] when you write. You do not have to hover your hand against it. Your hand will not affect the [|AirLiner], only the pen will determine where you write, move the cursor, etc.
 * Tip #3:** Remember the space of the [|AirLiner]represents the space of your computer screen/[|SMART Board].
 * Tip #4:** Look at the board, not at the [|AirLiner]when you write or select an item.
 * Tip #5:** Trust your handwriting. If you write a word using the [|AirLiner], it will show up. Don’t stop and start writing.

The underlays are printed sheets that fit under the plastic cover of an AirLiner wireless slate. They come in standard unlined, grid or lined formats. You can also get underlays in standard gray or your choice of four colors: red, blue, black and green.
