Quick reference guide
You can use the SMART kapp iQ capture board to collaborate with others in a simple but powerful way. Write and draw on
the capture board as you would on a regular dry-erase board. You can then connect a Bluetooth®-enabled
mobile device to the capture board by scanning the Quick Response (QR) code.
Connecting your mobile device
If you don’t already have the kapp app installed on your
Android or Apple mobile device:
1. Start a QR code scanning app on your mobile
device, or visit smartkapp.com if you don’t have
a QR scanner installed.
2. Hold your mobile device’s rear-facing camera
over the capture board’s QR code to scan it.
The App Store or Google Play opens.
3. Download and install the SMART kapp app.
After you install the SMART kapp app, you can use it to
connect your mobile device to a SMART kapp iQ capture
board by using a QR code:
1. Start the SMART kapp app on your mobile
device.
2. Hold your mobile device’s rear-facing camera still
over the capture board’s QR code so that the
QR code appears in the center of the app’s
screen.
The app connects your mobile device to the capture
board. For more details on mobile device requirements,
see the User Guide.
Writing and erasing notes
You can write and erase notes on the capture board the
same way you do on a traditional dry-erase board.
As you write or erase notes, the changes appear on your
mobile device automatically.
• Use the eraser end of either pen or use your
palm or fist to erase notes.
• For the best writing experience, be sure to hold
the pen at a 90-degree angle.
Viewing notes on your mobile device
When your mobile device and a capture board are
connected, you can view the notes you’ve written on the
capture board on your mobile device. As you write or erase
notes, the changes appear on your mobile device
automatically.
By default, your mobile device displays the capture board’s
entire writing surface. You can use gestures to zoom in,
zoom out and pan.

TIP: As you zoom in or out, grid lines appear on the
writing surface to indicate the level of magnification.
Sharing your notes
After you connect your mobile device to a capture board,
you can use the SMART kapp app to invite up to five
others to view and contribute to your notes on their
devices.
TIP: Two users can write or draw notes at the same
time, one using the black pen and the other using
the red pen.
