Follow the steps on this card to get started with your BrightLink projector:

software

Easy Interactive Tools

With a computer, you can use Easy Interactive Tools. This software lets you use the interactive pens or your finger as a mouse to annotate, save, and interact with content from your computer.

Interacting with the screen

Built-in Toolbar

Without a computer, you can use the toolbar that is built into the projector (PC Free Annotation). This lets you annotate images from a document camera, tablet, DVD player, or other source connected to your projector.

You can use your finger to perform the same functions as the interactive pen when the Touch Unit is installed. You can use either the pen or your finger, or use both at the same time.

When performing finger touch operations, you can use two fingers in annotation and whiteboard modes, or up to six fingers in computer interactive mode.

Having Trouble?

If the cursor does not match your pen or finger location, follow the calibration instructions on the back of this card.

Using the Built-in Toolbar

Press one of the source buttons on the remote

control to select the source for the image you want to annotate.

Two toolbars are available in PC Free Annotation mode, one for annotation mode and one for whiteboard mode. Many of the tools are the same as Easy Interactive Tools, but fewer functions are available.

Annotation mode displays the built-in toolbar on
