Cleaning the Walk-and-Talk WhiteBoard
®
PolyVision
We recommend an initial cleaning of the board to remove any residue left
behind during manufacture.
1For the initial cleaning, wipe your board with a clean cloth moistened
by a commercially available whiteboard cleaner.
2Rinse with clear water to avoid future smearing. This step is simple but
very important.
3Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
note:NOTE:
Do not let water seep into the sensitive Walk-and-Talk whiteboard
electronics. Your warranty does not cover damage caused by liquids.
Caring for the TS or TSL Whiteboard
Your whiteboard can have one of two possible surfaces. The appropriate
care of each surface is very different. To determine which whiteboard
surface you have, find the serial number located on the underside of the
whiteboard tray next to the power connection.
34 Installation and Operation Guide
Use the care instructions below if your board’s serial number begins with
“A” or “B”:
•Wipe the whiteboard with a clean, soft, dry cloth or a duster.
•Clean whiteboard parts with a cloth dampened with mild soap and
water. Stubborn stains can be removed using isopropyl alcohol.
•Do not use spray cleaners (such as whiteboard cleaner). Spray cleaners
will damage the board.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths.
Use the care instructions below if your board’s serial number begins with
any other letter:
•For daily cleaning or as needed, rinse surfaces with water using a soft
cloth or sponge. Dry with a soft cloth prior to writing.
•Remove any remaining marks with Sanford Expo Towelettes or
equivalent. Whiteboard cleaners available from PolyVision or at office
supply stores can also be used.
•Important! Always rinse with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent
future markers from smearing.
•For stubborn stains, you can use a paint/stain remover such as Goof
For all TS and TSL whiteboards:
•Use only the dry-erase markers and erasers recommended by
•Change erasers when they become dirty to leave less ink residue on
•Do not use ballpoint pens or other pointed instruments on the surface.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners on the surface.
•To erase pen strokes made with permanent markers, write over the

Summer Maintenance
•Gather all items that are loose and can be easily disconnected from
the board and/or computer. Store all items in a safe and secure place.
(For example, the USB cable, wireless receivers, USB hubs, stylus,
and eraser.)
•Tape a sign to top frame of board to say:
• This board is not a markerboard.
• Do not wash the board. Clean ONLY with a soft dampened cloth.
•Back up your work. Any files you have created or images stored on
your computer should be saved onto disk, USB drive, or network
server. Coordinate storage of data with your IT Department.
36 Installation and Operation Guide
When preparing for Fall classes:
•Test the board early in the Fall preparation process. Connect the
computer to the Internet so that the PolyVision driver can acquire
automatic software updates that may have been issued during the
Summer break.
•If you are unable to acquire any released software updates, please
request your IT Department to provide support early in the back-toschool process.
•Testing the board well before it is needed assures that there is time for
any technical support you may need as well as time for you to try out
new practices.
