Getting Started Interwrite Mobi™
Product Overview
The Interwrite Mobi is a tablet system featuring the patented digitizer and
pen-input technology. Used with the Interwrite Workspace software on a PC
or a Mac, the Mobi acts as an input device allowing you to control the com-
puter so you can run applications, open and edit files, and annotate screen
images and presentation files from anywhere in the room. When used with
an Interwrite DualBoard, the Mobi provides the ultimate multi-input collab-
orative system for the interactive class room or the interactive meeting room.
About This Guide
This Getting Started guide describes how to set up your Interwrite Mobi and
Interwrite Pen II, install the Interwrite Workspace software, and establish a
communication connection with your PC or your Mac. It ends with an over-
view of the Interwrite Workspace software.
Interwrite Mobi™
The KWIK Screen displays Student
Response System information that can
be used by the instructor for assessment
and evaluation purposes. It is a color
backlit LCD display that interacts with
the computer to display the assessment
data as it is acquired during a session.
The type of data displayed is dependent
on the Student Response System being
used. If one is not installed, the LCD
screen will be blank but will show the
Mobi Status.
Know What I Know (KWIK) Screen
Interwrite Mobi Learner
The Interwrite Mobi Learner screen
identifies the unit and displays various
status indicators. It informs the user of
battery life, if the pen is in prox, if the
Learner is in Mouse Mode, and when
the unit is charging.

2Interwrite Mobi™ Getting Started
Workspace Software
The operation of your Mobi is facilitated by the Interwrite Workspace soft-
ware. The software is installed as part of the process of establishing commu-
nication between the Mobi and the computer and is covered in this guide.
The Workspace software has four operational modes: Lesson Mode, Office
Mode (Windows only), Annotate Over Desktop Mode, and Mouse Mode.
An Interwrite Mobi, acting as an input device to the computer, remotely
controls the computer from anywhere in the room. When the Interwrite
DualBoard and a video projector are added, the computer’s desktop image
projects onto the Interwrite DualBoard’s surface, and the board communi-
cates as an input device to the computer.
In this environment, both the person at the Interwrite DualBoard and users
with Tablets seated around the room can interact with the presentation.
The Interwrite Mobi system uses Radio Frequency (RF) wireless technolo-
gy to establish communication between the Tablet and the computer. The
Mobi comes with the RF module built into the Tablet, so the only installa-
tion required is the Workspace RF USB Hub on the computer.
The Interwrite Pen II
The electronic Interwrite Pen II,
when positioned just above (in prox
of) or touching the surface of a charged,
powered-on, connected Tablet, controls the
movements of the mouse on the computer. The
Pen becomes a writing and drawing instrument
when one of the many Workspace Annotation Tools is
selected from the projected Toolbar. When in Annotation
Mode, a user can make notes on a PowerPoint Slide Show,
highlight areas of interest on a spreadsheet, or edit a document
using a wide range of pen attributes.

Installation Overview
This section describes what you will be
doing and the order in which you will
be doing it to facilitate the setup
of your Interwrite Mobi and its
preparation for use.
1. Unpack Your
Interwrite Mobi
The package includes the
Interwrite Mobi, the Interwrite
Pen II, a Pen tether, a Mini USB
cable, a Workspace RF USB Hub,
and an eInstructionTM CD.
2. Charge Your Interwrite
Mobi and Interwrite Pen II
Your Tablet and Pen must be charged before you can use them. First, place
the Interwrite Pen II in the Tablet’s Pen Slot. Next, plug the Mini USB con-
nector into the Mini USB Port located at the top of the Tablet. The other
end is plugged into a USB Jack on the computer or USB Hub.
3. Install the Interwrite Workspace Software
Install the Interwrite Workspace Software using the CD provided to you
in your Interwrite Mobi kit. The CD will launch automatically. Follow the
prompts to complete the installation.
4. Connect Your Interwrite Mobi
Your Interwrite Mobi must be able to communicate with the Interwrite
Workspace software on your computer. This communication link is estab-
lished wirelessly between radio frequency communication modules—one
built into the Tablet and the other connected to the computer.

4Interwrite Mobi™ Getting Started
Setting Up Your Interwrite Mobi
The Interwrite Mobi communicates with the computer using radio frequency
technology. The RF communications module is built into the Interwrite Mobi.
The Tablet communicates through its built-in RF module with another RF
module, the Workspace RF Hub, installed on the computer. The Interwrite
Mobi is powered by Li-ion batteries, which provide about 10 hours of wire-
less operation before they have to be recharged.

Charging the Interwrite Mobi and Pen
Before you use your Interwrite Mobi and Interwrite Pen II for the first time,
they should be charged for about 12 hours. Whenever the Tablet battery is
low and needs to be recharged, the Tablet Battery Status Icon will display on
the screen as an empty battery.
1 Place the Interwrite Pen II in the Pen Slot.
2Connect the Mini USB Connector to the Mini USB Port at the top of the
Tablet.
3Plug the other end of the cord into a USB port on your computer or into a
USB hub.
The Interwrite Mobi can be used while it is charging.
4When the Tablet and Pen are charged and the Battery Status display
indicates that it is charged, unplug the Charger from the Interwrite Mobi.
5Press the Power Button to turn on the charged Interwrite Mobi.
The buttons and status indicators are described in more detail in the Operat-
ing the Interwrite Mobi section.
The rst thing you should do when you unpack your new Inter-

The Interwrite Pen II is charged only when it is placed in the Pen
Slot in the Tablet, and only when the Tablet is being charged. A Pen
charge lasts over 40 hours. You should always charge the Pen when
the Tablet is being charged.
The optional Interwrite Mobi Dock can charge up to three Mobis
at one time. Visit our Web site at www.einstruction.com for more
information about the Mobi Dock.

The Electronic Interwrite Pen II
The Interwrite Pen II is an input device to the computer. You will use it to
write and draw in Lesson Mode and to control mouse movements in Mouse
Mode by moving the tip of the Pen just above (in prox of) or touching the

Tablet’s workspace surface, it simulates the same effects you would get using
the left mouse button both in Windows and on the Mac.
Using the Pen
When the Pen is in prox, press the bottom end of the Rocker Button to
simulate a left mouse button double-click in Windows and on the Mac. Press
the top end of the Rocker Button to simulate a right mouse button click in
Windows and a Ctrl-click on the Mac. In Windows, hold down the bottom
Rocker Button and touch the Pen Tip to the Tablet’s workspace to erase. On
the Mac, with the Pen Tip touching the Tablet’s surface, hold down the bot-
tom Rocker Button to erase.

The Pen goes into Sleep Mode after about two minutes of inactivity to
conserve power. Touching the Pen to a surface, or clicking one of its Rocker
Buttons, wakes up the Pen.
