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 or your finger as a mouse to annotate, save, and interact with content from your computer.

Interacting with the screen

Using the built-in toolbar

BrightLink Interaction

The BrightLink interactive pens turn almost any wall or table into an interactive area, with or without a computer.

The projector control toolbar lets you control the projector from the screen just as you would using the remote control.

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.

Interacting With the Screen

Using Your Pen or Finger as a Mouse

When you are in computer interactive mode, you can use the pen or your finger as a mouse to interact with your computer desktop.

Interactive Pens

Your projector came with 2 pens, one orange (Interactive Pen A) and one blue (Interactive Pen B).

The pens have two different types of tips available: a soft, felt tip and a hard tip. Make sure one AA battery is installed in each pen.

When you are finished using the pen, simply place it in

•

an area away from the projection screen.

Note: The pens turn off automatically after about 15 seconds of inactivity. Pick the pen up to turn it back on.

Finger Touch

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.

See the online BrightLink User’s Guide for more information.

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

The projector’s built-in toolbar lets you annotate images from other devices that have been connected to the projector, such as a document camera, tablet, or other source. This is known as PC Free Annotation mode.

Two different 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.

Touch and hold the center of the circle with your finger until the circle disappears and another one appears.

Note: You must perform pen calibration before calibrating finger touch.

Pen Calibration

To start pen calibration, press the User button on the

remote control, or press the Home button and select Auto Calibration.

When you see the Auto Calibration screen, do one of

the following:

• Press to run auto calibration, then wait until calibration is complete.

• Select No, then press and follow the steps below to calibrate manually.

Select Manual Calibration, then press .

When you see the Manual Calibration screen, press

to select Yes.

Touch the center of the circles on the screen with your pen to perform manual calibration.

Continue until all of the circles disappear.
