LightRaise 40wi Quick Reference Guide

Using the interactive pen

When you point the pen towards the projected image, you can interact with the computer desktop and any application just as you would using a computer mouse. You can also use the pen to write and draw in digital ink.

•Click by touching the pen nib to the projection surface

•Click at a distance with the pen’s Left-Clickbutton

•To right-click, hold down the pen nib or Left-Clickbutton for more than three seconds

Pen modes

You can operate the interactive pen in either Whiteboard or Presenter mode. In Whiteboard mode, you interact by touching the pen nib to the projection surface. In Presenter mode, an on-screen cursor indicates where the pen is pointing, and you interact from a distance using the pen’s Left-Click button.

To switch modes, use the remote control:

1.Open the projector Settings menu by pressing Menu

2.Using the Arrow and Enter buttons, navigate to System Functionality under the Interactive Pen submenu.

Press Enter to toggle between Presenter and Whiteboard mode.

3.Close the Settings menu by pressing Menu again

Status LEDs

Two LEDs on the pen display the pen’s connection and battery status:

•Flashing green – normal connected state

•Flashing amber – the pen cannot see the projected image

•Slow flashing amber – battery requires charging

Battery

The interactive pen uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be fully charged in 2.5 hours for 20 hours of use. You can recharge the battery by connecting the pen to an active USB port with the supplied USB charging cable.

NOTE: The pen’s amber LED remains solid while charging.

Tips

Digital ink

The projector’s digital ink features are SMART software features. To switch between regular mouse and digital ink functionality, select the appropriate tool from the tool palette in SMART Notebook, or from the floating SMART tools palette when using any other application.

Operating distance

A comfortable distance for reliable pen use ranges from 5 to 15' (1.5 to 5 m). Be aware that as distance increases pen movement is more difficult to control.

Shadows

Objects or shadows in the projection area prevent the pen from reading the projected image. When interacting at close range, minimize shadows by positioning yourself at an arm’s length with the pen at a 90° angle.

Line of sight

To use the pen from a distance, stand in a location that has a clean line of sight. Any obstruction will result in lost connectivity. You can observe the pen’s connection by its status lights – flashing green for connected and flashing amber for unconnected.

Cursor control

The interactive pen will compete with your computer’s mouse or laptop trackpad for cursor control. If you need to use your mouse, turn the interactive pen away from the screen until its amber LED begins flashing.

Primary display

The projector uses the primary display of the connected computer (labeled monitor 1), and doesn’t support use on any secondary display (monitor 2). Use your computer’s control panel to designate your primary display. To ensure image quality, match your computer video resolution to the interactive projector’s 16:10 aspect ratio image – WXGA 1280 × 800.
