Wall Mounting Instructions
7
It is important that walls or plaster be completely dry before installing
a board, as any moisture may cause the panel inserts to warp.
Complete hanging hardware is included with each unit. If wall
construction prevents the use of hardware as furnished, it is the
responsibility of the customer to furnish the required fasteners.
REFER TO WALL MOUNTING DIAGRAM ON PAGE 8
1) Locate wall studs on which to attach mounting rail. Determine
desired mounting height, measuring from the floor to the top of the
unit. Snap a chalkline along the wall at the desired location for the top
edge of the Crest-Line unit.
2) Mark the hole locations along the mounting rail (long leg up) to
correspond with stud locations in the wall. NOTE: Minimum hole
locations is 6” in from each end of the mounting rail and at approxi-
mately 24” spacing along the length of the mounting rail). Drill 13/64”
holes at each location marked on the mounting rail.
3) Align mounting rail (long leg up) along chalkline and mark on the
wall the location of the holes drilled into the mounting rail. At each
hole location marked on the wall, drill 1/4” holes 1” deep for expansion
plugs.
4) Install the mounting rail with the long leg up. It may be necessary
to shim out the mounting rail on uneven or irregular walls.
5) Subtract 1-1/4” from overall height measurement of unit being
installed. Using this figure, measure down from top of mounting rail.
Install L-Clip screw at this point. Leave L-Clip in down position. L-Clips
should be installed 6” in from each bottom corner and evenly space
along length of board.
6) Hang unit on mounting rail. Make any slight adjustment to desired
position by sliding to left or right. Be sure unit is hanging level.
7) Tap L-Clips up against bottom of the unit and drill holes into alumi-
num trim (holes must be smaller than diameter of screws). Fasten clip
to trim with screw furnished.

WARNING!
The mimio Board is a highly durable porcelain steel
whiteboard. As a result of its construction, it is a very heavy
product, weighing in excess of 70 lbs. For safety reasons,
assembly of the mimio Board product and its floor stand
requires the assistance of at least 2 adults.
Please be sure to follow the assembly instructions. Upon
completion, please check and verify that all bolts are
appropriately positioned and tightened.
1
Lie the 2 vertical support legs flat onto the floor with the
bottom crossbeam positioned between the 2 support
legs in preparation for assembly. Use the hex key to
secure the bottom crossbeam to the 2 vertical support
legs using 2 of the bolts and 2 of the washers.

L-brackets
Position the partially assembled floor stand upright. Use
the hex key and 2 of the bolts and 2 of the washers to
assemble the top crossbeam to the floor stand. Be sure
to orient the top crossbeam such that the mimio Board
mounting bracket faces in the same direction as the
2 L-brackets and the label on the top crossbeam marking
TOP correctly points up.

Learning Process
13
The mimio Board and Wireless Receiver are programmed at the factory and
are packaged as a mated pair to work “out of the box” without user
intervention*. They are an exclusive pair of components that will only
communicate to one another. This allows for more than one Wireless mimio
device to co-exist in the same environment without causing confusion over
which Wireless mimio device communicates to which mimio Wireless
Receiver.
Since the mimio Board and Wireless Receiver are designed to work exclu-
sively as a pair, you cannot casually interchange a Wireless Receiver from
one Wireless mimio device with a Wireless Receiver from another Wireless
mimio device and expect it to work; mixed components will not be able to
communicate unless they have been programmed as a pair. A mimio Board
can only be paired with one mimio Wireless Receiver at any given point in
time; you cannot program one mimio Board to work with multiple Wireless
Receivers and vice versa.
Mating the mimio Board and Wireless Receiver:
If you own multiple Wireless mimio devices and mistakenly get the Wireless
Receiver components mixed together, you can manually re-program any
mimio Board and Wireless Receiver components to work exclusively together
through a learning process. The learning process is described in the steps
listed below.
1. Power on the mimio Board.
2. Plug the Wireless Receiver into an available USB port on your
computer.
3. Press and hold the teach button on the Wireless Receiver for 3
seconds to initiate the learning process (the LED on the Wireless
Receiver should begin flashing green).
4. Press the recessed learn button on the mimio Board with the end
of a paper clip to complete the learning process. A beep will sound
when learning process begins.
5. The Link Status LED will start flashing green while the learning
process is underway. Once the mimio Board and Wireless Receiver
are mated, the Link Status LED will turn to a solid green color to
identify the 2 components have been paired and that a wireless
connection is established.
* 802.11x and/or Bluetooth is neither required nor supported.
Troubleshooting
14
If the Link Status LED on the mimio Board is amber, a wireless
connection cannot be made between the mimio Board and the
Wireless Receiver. Please try the following steps to establish a
wireless connection between these two mimio Wireless components:
1. Ensure the computer is powered and turned on.
2. Ensure the Wireless Receiver is plugged into an
available USB port on your computer.
3. Ensure the mimio Board is powered with its AC power
adapter and has a solid green power LED.
4. Move the computer closer to the mimio Board.
If you still cannot establish a wireless connection after following the
steps listed above, try unplugging the Wireless Receiver from the
computer and then reinserting the Wireless Receiver into the
computer. If this does not help, then follow the steps outlined in the
Learning Process section to re-bind the mimio Board and Wireless
Receiver. If completing the Learning Process does not result in a
wireless connection, please contact our Technical Support depart-
ment using one of the contact methods described in the Technical
Support section.
