Keeping the writing surface clean
Follow these tips to keep the interactive whiteboard’s surface clean.
l
Clean your interactive whiteboard at least every six months.
l
Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the interactive whiteboard’s surface. Instead, spray a light
amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the interactive surface.
l
Don’t allow excess cleaner to flow onto the frame’s reflective surfaces, or into the pen tray slots.
l
IMPORTANT
Turn off your interactive whiteboard system before you clean it so that you do not scramble the
desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe the interactive surface.
TIP
To view dirt or streaks more easily, set your projector to Standby (lamp off) mode.
Cleaning the pen tray
If the infrared sensors in the sides of the pen tools’ slots become obstructed by dirt, spray a
household, alcohol-free glass cleaner, such as Windex cleaner, on a cotton swab and then carefully
clean the infrared transmitter and receiver.
