web site to see if your version of Livescribe™ Desktop is current and if the software and firmware on
your Livescribe™ smartpen are up to date. If your system needs updates, Livescribe™ Desktop will
ask if you want to update now or be reminded later. See

Once you have docked your Livescribe™ smartpen, do not remove it until the content transfer is

undock and redock your smartpen so transfer can restart.
