Whiteboard Maintenance
Please exit the system before cleaning and it’s preferable to exit system and standby
projector so that any marks are easily seen.
(Note:Although the whiteboard can be used with dry erase pens, it is inevitable that with
age or after cleaning with abrasive cleaners, a build up of dirt and ink will occur, detracting
from the projected image. Interactiive whiteboards are designed for “virtual” pen use, so
avoid dry erase pens if possible.
If you do frequently use the whiteboard with dry erase markers, it should be cleaned
weekly for proper operation. Please use standard glass detergent to clean the surface,
followed by water to rinse the detergent off. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE
ANY FORM OF ABRASIVE CLEANER!! IT WILL DAMAGE THE BOARD.
Note: Do not clean it with other solvents as harsh organic solvents may attach the
surface coating of the board.
Do not score the surface or border with anything sharp or hard; otherwise the affected
areaof thePressuresensitiveIWB(Model PS)maynotworknormally.Smallcutscanbeheld
together with clear adhesive tape, and the board will continue to work if the cut has been
closedproperly.
Please do not drag the USB cable when using the whiteboard, and do not press too hard
onthe functionbuttonsontheIWB.
Since the bracket (or the hanging parts) is only designed for supporting the weight of the
whiteboard, please do not add extra weight or press onto the whiteboard or its penholder.

Please avoid installing and using the whiteboard in any area which is dusty, wet or smog
bound.
