=Writing and Recording Audio= There are many features of your Livescribe smartpen. One of its primary uses is to capture notes and optionally record audio.

Capturing Notes without Audio

 * 1) Power on your Livescribe smartpen by pressing the power button.
 * 2) If needed, remove the smartpen cap. If you are using a new ink cartridge, you may need to remove possibly the small protective plastic coating from your ink cartridge tip. All new ink cartridges have this coating to prevent the ink from drying up. NOTE: If you have given your smartpen a name using Livescribe Desktop, your smartpen will display its name when you power it on.
 * 3) Begin writing on any Livescribe™ dot paper product, such as a Livescribe notebook, journal, or flip notepad. As long as the smartpen is on, it will capture your handwritten notes and drawings.
