Precautions

	Installation	• 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.
	Screen film	• Make thick and dark lines inside the copying			25mm
		area. Note that any writing inside the
		shaded area on the right figure cannot
		be copied.	35mm		copying area						35mm
					25mm
		• 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.
		• 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.

		• 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.

and Interactive	socket and AC inlet, and disconnect the interactive cable from the
	interactive connector and a PC. Then coil them for transportation. Failure to

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

	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.
