**What do these little lights mean?**

**How do I orient my board?**
If your board is not oriented properly, the pens won't work properly. If you are using a portable projector, you will need to orient your board on a regular basis (e.g. at the start of the day).

**Oops. I've made a mistake. How can I erase it?**
//ActiveBoard users don't have a physical eraser. They need to select the eraser from the virtual toolbar, and use their ActivPens like an eraser.//
