Care and maintenance

For all TS and TSL whiteboards:

Use only the dry-erase markers and erasers recommended by 
PolyVision. To order markers, call 1.800.620.POLY (7659) in the USA, 
1.678.542.3100 outside the USA, or +32 (0)89 32 31 30 in Europe, or 
go to:

www.polyvision.com

Change erasers when they become dirty to leave less ink residue on 
your board. Replacement erasers are available directly from PolyVision. 
Call 1.800.620.POLY (7659) in the USA, 1.678.542.3100 outside the 
USA, or +32 (0)89 32 31 30 in Europe, or go to:

www.polyvision.com

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 
marks with a dry-erase marker of the same or similar color, then erase.

To avoid damage, use only the power supply or cord that came with 
your whiteboard.

To store your whiteboard for prolonged periods, place it in a vertical 
position. Do not store flat.

Keep all shipping cartons in case you need to return your board for 
repair.

Caring for dry-erase markers and erasers

Cover the markers when not in use.

Store the markers horizontally.

Rub the eraser against a towel to remove ink residues. If excessive ink 
buildup occurs, contact PolyVision for a replacement. Call 
1.800.620.7659 (POLY) in the USA, 1.678.542.3100 outside the USA, 
or +32 (0)89 32 31 30 in Europe, or go to:
