Precautions

Installation

Screen film

• Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to direct sunlight, near heating equipment, or near air-conditioning vents as this may cause stretching and / or discoloration of the screen.

• Do not install the unit in locations having a temperature of 10°C or lower or where the temperature may change suddenly as this may disable the unit's ability to make copies.

• Make thick and dark lines inside the copying

area. Note that any writing inside the shaded area on the right figure cannot be copied.

• Use a commercially available white board cleaner for hard-to-erase stains.

(SANFORD®EXPO®white board cleaner etc.)

• Do not erase with an overly dirty eraser. (See pages 75 and 77.)

• Do not allow writing to remain on the screen for an extended period of time

as it will become harder to erase.

Markers, Erasers and Thermal transfer film

• Periodically wipe the screen film gently with a water-dampened cloth that

has been thoroughly wrung. (See page 75.)

• Do not touch the screen, write with markers, or erase while the screen is

moving as this may result in damage to the unit.

• Use only the included or designated markers, erasers and thermal transfer

film. (See page 81.)

Use of accessories other than those included or designated (such as oilbased markers) may damage the screen or result in hard-to-erase markings.

• Copy quality increases with the thickness of the drawn line. To ensure

quality copies, please use the markers (Big).

• The markers for interactive (Small) draw thin lines. The quality of the copies

may be reduced when these markers are used.

• Do not store the thermal transfer film in a location subject to extreme

changes in temperature (such as near air conditioning or heating equipment) as this may cause condensation on the thermal transfer film and result in poor print quality and / or paper jams.

• Store markers horizontally as vertical storage may stop the ink from coming

out.

• The length of one roll of designated thermal transfer film (Replacement film :

KX-BP081 or KX-BP082) is approximately 100 meters. One roll of thermal transfer film can make approximately 300 sheets of copies.

Note that the total number of copies may differ depending on the operating conditions. Also note that the length of the thermal transfer film supplied with the unit is shorter than the replacement film roll and is only approximately 20 meters.

Precautions

Power cord and Interactive cable

Replacing the Thermal transfer film

Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser

• Before moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from the electrical power socket and AC inlet, and disconnect the interactive cable from the interactive connector and a PC. Then coil them for transportation. Failure to do these cause the cord and cable to be damaged if they are stepped on or if they catch on something while the unit is being moved.

• Dispose of the used thermal transfer film in a trash receptacle for burnable

trash.

• A negative of the copied image will remain on the thermal transfer film.

(To protect the security of your information, we recommend cutting up used thermal transfer film with scissors or shredder before disposing of it.)

Transmitter

• Do not cover the transmitter with your hand while using an interactive

function as this may cause the position of the Electronic Pen or the Electronic Eraser not to be normally detected.

NG OK

• Press down firmly with the point of the Electronic Pen or the eraser cloth of

the Electronic Eraser on the screen film until you hear a buzzing sound, and then move it slowly. However, do not press down the point of the Electronic Pen too much strongly as this may make a dent in the screen back panel.

• Do not use two or more the Electronic Pens or the Electronic Eraser at the

same time as this may cause the position of the Electronic Pen or the Electronic Eraser not to be normally detected.

• For precise positioning, keep the Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser

perpendicularly to the screen during use.

• Since ultrasonic is used to detect the position of the Electronic Pen and

Electronic Eraser when they are being used, you may hear a buzzing sound, but this is not harmful to the human body or peripheral hardware. It will also not result in an electric shock.

Precautions

Battery

If batteries are used improperly, batteries may leak, causing corrosion of the product, or they may burst. To prevent this, always follow the precautions given below.

• Always remove batteries from the Electronic Pen and Electronic Eraser if they are not to be used for an extended period of time.

• Use the same type of batteries. Do not mix different types.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Always insert batteries with their polarity properly oriented as indicated on the Electronic Pen or Electronic Eraser.

• If the Electronic Pen or Electronic Eraser ceases to function because batteries have run out, remove them immediately and dispose of them according to local regulations. Leaving drained batteries in the Electronic Pen or Electronic Eraser may result in leakage.

• Do not disassemble batteries or place them in a fire.

• Do not short batteries.

• Alkaline batteries cannot be recharged. Never attempt to recharge alkaline batteries.
