Usingtheinteractivepen
When you point the pen towards the projected image, you can
interact with the computer desktop and any application just as you
would using a computer mouse. You can also use the pen to write
and draw in digital ink.
• Click by touching the pen nib to the projection surface
• Click at a distance with the pen’s Left-Click button
• To right-click, hold down the pen nib or Left-Click button
for more than three seconds
Pen modes
You can operate the interactive pen in either Whiteboard or
Presenter mode. In Whiteboard mode, you interact by touching
the pen nib to the projection surface. In Presenter mode, an
on-screen cursor indicates where the pen is pointing, and you
interact from a distance using the pen’s Left-Click button.
To switch modes, use the remote control:
1. Open the projector Settings menu by pressing Menu
2. Using the Arrow and Enter buttons, navigate to System
Functionality under the Interactive Pen submenu.
Press Enter to toggle between Presenter and Whiteboard
mode.
3. Close the Settings menu by pressing Menu again
Status LEDs
Two LEDs on the pen display the pen’s connection and battery
status:
• Flashing green – normal connected state
• Flashing amber – the pen cannot see the projected image
• Slow flashing amber – battery requires charging
Battery
The interactive pen uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that
can be fully charged in 2.5 hours for 20 hours of use. You can
recharge the battery by connecting the pen to an active USB port
with the supplied USB charging cable.
NOTE: The pen’s amber LED remains solid while charging.
Tips
Digital ink
The projector’s digital ink features are SMART software
features. To switch between regular mouse and digital
ink functionality, select the appropriate tool from the
tool palette in SMART Notebook, or from the floating
SMART tools palette when using any other application.
Operating distance
A comfortable distance for reliable pen use ranges from 5 to 15'
(1.5 to 5 m). Be aware that as distance increases pen movement is
more difficult to control.
Shadows
Objects or shadows in the projection area prevent the pen from
reading the projected image. When interacting at close range,
minimize shadows by positioning yourself at an arm’s length with
the pen at a 90° angle.
Line of sight
To use the pen from a distance, stand in a location that has a
clean line of sight. Any obstruction will result in lost connectivity.
You can observe the pen’s connection by its status lights – flashing
green for connected and flashing amber for unconnected.
Cursor control
The interactive pen will compete with your computer’s mouse or
laptop trackpad for cursor control. If you need to use your mouse,
turn the interactive pen away from the screen until its amber LED
begins flashing.
Primary display
The projector uses the primary display of the connected computer
(labeled monitor 1), and doesn’t support use on any secondary
display (monitor 2). Use your computer’s control panel to
designate your primary display. To ensure image quality, match
your computer video resolution to the interactive projector’s 16:10
aspect ratio image – WXGA 1280 × 800.
