now!Board™ User Manual 4
The Camera
The camera is designed to sit on a tabletop, facing the display surface.
The camera contains an IR sensor, and tracks the movement of the stylus or wand.
The camera must have a clear line of sight to the stylus or wand at all times during use.
The camera must remain stable and in a fixed position during use.
The camera may not function properly with interference from other infrared devices or in intense lighting such as
halogen lighting or low-hanging light fixtures.
The Stylus
Do not use the stylus on surfaces that may scratch, such as drywall or painted surfaces
. Carefully test on a small area
on the display surface before use.
The stylus is designed for use on hard, smooth surfaces only, such as traditional dry-erase boards. Rough surfaces may
cause excessive wear on the stylus tip. For all other surfaces, use the wand.
The stylus communicates with the camera through infrared technology (IR). The stylus must have a clear line of sight
to the camera at all times.
The IR emitter on the stylus is located at the top of the stylus lens.
Hold the stylus as recommended (see page 18) to
ensure that the IR emitter is unobstructed during use.
The Wand
The wand is designed for use on almost any surface, such as walls and projector screens.
The wand communicates with the camera through infrared technology (IR). Be sure the IR emitter at the tip of the
wand has a clear line of sight to the camera during use.
Gently pull the tip to extend the wand to desired length.
