Interactive WhiteBoard

Installing the Software

(It is good practice to uninstall any earlier versions of the Hitachi Interactive WhiteBoard Software
and to close all programs running on your computer before installing the software)

Note: a full software installation guide is held on the installation CD. This can be read with Adobe
Acrobat reader.

Mounting the Interactive WhiteBoard

There are two different ways you can mount your Interactive WhiteBoard:

Installing the Wall-Mount Brackets

1. Insert the software CD into the CD drive on the computer.

2. On most computers, inserting the CD will automatically launch the installer (this may take a
few seconds). If the CD fails launch, browse the CD contents and run the “Autorun.exe”
program.

3. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, install this software from
the main menu of the installation CD.

4. When the software is loaded you will be returned to the opening menu. Select the software to
load and follow the on-screen instructions.

1. Hang the WhiteBoard n the wall using the Wall Mount Brackets

2. Mount the WhiteBoard on the optional wheeled floor stand.

1. Attach one of the two identical Wall-Mount Brackets to
the back of the WhiteBoard using a Phillips-blade
screwdriver and the supplied screws.

2. Apply two self adhesive wall bumpers to the back of the
WhiteBoard. Locate the wall bumpers in the lower
corners, approximately one inch (2.5mm) in from the
edges.

3. Attach the second Wall-Mount Bracket to a wall using the
appropriate hardware for the wall structure (hardware not
included). The wall bracket should be level and positioned
at a height that results in the final position of the
WhiteBoard being such that users can comfortably reach
the top corners of the active surface.

4. Hang the WhiteBoard on the wall bracket as shown.

Connecting the Interactive Whiteboard

• The external 9 volt power supply provided with your interactive whiteboard
should be connected to the mains power supply with the power cord provided.

• Ensure the whiteboard is switched off and then connect the output lead of the
power supply to the interactive whiteboard in either of the two connection points
provided.

• Determine the connection interface you will use to link the Interactive Whiteboard
to the controlling computer. Only one interface cable should be connected (serial
or USB).

Using the Serial interface

• Connect the 10 metre serial cable to the interactive whiteboard using either of the
two connection points provided. Connect the other end to the serial port on your
computer.

Using the USB interface

• Connect the 5 metre USB cable to the interactive whiteboard using the
connection point provided. Connect the other end to the USB port on your
computer.

Using the optional Bluetooth interface

• An optional Bluetooth interface is provided for future expansion. This connection
is currently not available for use.

Caution: Do not attempt to connect the USB cable to the
optional Bluetooth connection point. Doing so may damage
the interactive whiteboard controlling circuit board and
invalidate the warranty
