Interwrite
TM
Pad
Getting Started
Interactive Mode, the operational mode used by both Interwrite Pads and
Interwrite Boards, allows you to take advantage of the power and features
of the Workspace software. An Interwrite Pad, acting as an input device to
the computer, remotely controls the computer from anywhere in the room.
When the Interwrite Board and a video projector are added, the computer’s
desktop image projects onto the Interwrite Board’s surface, and the board,
communicates as an input device to the computer.
In this environment, both the person at the Interwrite Board and users with
Pads seated around the room can interact with the presentation. Office
Mode makes it possible to interact directly with Microsoft’s Office suite of
products, PowerPoint, Word and Excel on the PC. Annotations, notes and
calculations can be added directly to the native application files when in this
operational Mode.
Installation Overview
This section describes what you will be doing and the order in which you will
be doing it, to facilitate the setup of your Interwrite Pad and its preparation for
use.
1. Unpack Your Interwrite Pad
The package includes the Interwrite Pad and the rechargeable Interwrite
Interactive Pen, a Pen tether, a Pad Charger, and an Interwrite Learning
TM
CD
and a Bluetooth USB Adapter.
2. Charge Your Interwrite Pad and Interactive Pen
Your Pad and Pen must be charged before you can use them. Place the
Interactive Pen in the Pad’s Pen Tray and plug the Pad Charger into the
Charger Jack located at the top of the Pad and the other end into a standard
wall socket. The Pad is charged when the Pad Battery Status Light goes off.
3. Install the Interwrite Workspace Software
4. Connect Your Interwrite Pad
Your Interwrite Pad must be able to communicate with the Interwrite Work-
space software on your computer. This communication link is established
wirelessly between two Bluetooth communication modules—one built into
the Pad and the other connected to the computer. The wireless Bluetooth
Pad must then be “connected” to Workspace by the Device Manager, one
of the Interwrite Workspace software applications.
