Troubleshooting
If you experience problems, try these possible solutions.
•
Ensure that you are using enough pressure on the stylus to depress the nib.
•
Verify that the green indicator light on the receiver is glowing.
•
Ensure that the cable connecting the receiver to the HDX system is securely attached at both ends.
•
Check
System
>
Diagnostics
on the HDX system (
System
>
HDX System
on the Polycom Touch
Control) to verify that the UC Board is running.
•
Draw a box approximately 1/2” (2 cm) from the edge around the perimeter of the monitor.
If the lines are corrupted, move the receiver to the center of the top or side of the monitor.
Draw the box to test again.
•
Connect the receiver cable to a USB hub with a cable of less than 3” (7.6 cm), and then connect
the USB hub to the HDX system.
•
Ensure that the stylus is correctly assembled:
—
Verify that the battery is inserted correctly.
—
Check the battery to confirm that it is generating power.
—
If you use the handstrap, be sure to replace the rubber ring on the stylus with the rubber ring
included in the handstrap packet.
•
If the receiver was moved, you may need to calibrate the system again. Press
on the
receiver to display the calibration screen.
•
Fluorescent lighting, direct sunlight, and ultrasonic motion sensors can interfere with the receiver.
Try improving these situations by using different room lighting, moving the monitor or whiteboard,
temporarily blocking sensors, or darkening the room.
•
Restart the HDX system.
