Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of the more frequent questions received by our Prompter support team. To save you and us time, we have completed this section of the manual to answer those questions most frequently asked.
How do I clean the glass?
As recommended by the manufacturers, use tepid water with a small amount of detergent to clean the glass, then leave to dry naturally.
You can also clean the glass periodically with a clean and dry non-abrasive duster.
Warning: Do not clean the glass with abrasive cleaners or dusters, these will scratch the glass coating and it will have to be replaced!
On which side should the paper dot face?
The dot on the glass should face the presenter. If the dot is facing the wrong direction it will produce a double image effect.
If the stand stops responding
Reset by switching off and switching on again.
