For Users

WARNING

Power and Ground Connection

The power source voltage of this unit is listed on the nameplate. Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with the proper voltage.

If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the unit or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch.

When you operate this product, the power outlet should be near the product and easily accessible.

8

To ensure safe operation the power cord supplied must be inserted into a standard three-prong AC outlet which is effectively grounded (earthed) through the normal wiring.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is grounded (earthed) and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding (earthing) of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the AC outlet with a properly grounded (earthed) one.

Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding (earthing) plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug).

Plug the power cord firmly into an AC outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe the power cord and plug. Damage to the power cord or plug can cause fire or electric shock.

Do not attempt to repair the power cord or plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, contact an authorized service representative for a replacement.

Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire if left unattended over an extended period of time.

Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

	• Do not erase with an overly dirty eraser (see page
	75).			25 mm (1" )

•Periodically wipe the screen film gently with a

water-dampened cloth that has been thoroughly wrung. (See page 75.)

•Use a commercially available white board cleaner for hard-to-erase stains. (SANFORD® EXPO® white board cleaner etc.)

•Do not touch the screen, write with markers, or erase while the screen is moving as this may result in damage to the unit.

•Do not attach chart paper to the screen film for copying as this may result in damage to the unit.

Markers,	• Use only the included or designated markers, erasers and thermal transfer film. (See page
Erasers and	82.)
Thermal	Use of accessories other than those included or designated (such as oil-based
Transfer Film	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: UG-6001) is approximately 50 meters (164 ft.). One roll of thermal transfer film can make approximately 150 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 10 meters (32.8 ft.).

Power Cord	• When moving the unit, disconnect the power cord from the electrical power socket and from
and USB	the printer’s power connector, and disconnect the USB cable from the printer’s USB
Cable	connector and a computer. Then coil them for transportation as stepping on the power cord
	and USB cable or having them catch on something during movement may result in damage
	to the cord and cable.

•If you connect the electronic board to a USB hub, it is not guaranteed to work.

•Do not connect two or more Panasonic electronic boards to a computer. It may cause the computer operation to become unstable.

Eraser

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.
