INSTRUCTION: provides additional software instructions.
NOTE: describes problems that could occur when using the whiteboard
and how to avoid and resolve them.
WARNING: draws attention to the danger of personal injury or
product damage if improperly used.
Caution Warning
• In order to avoid electric shocks, do not install the interactive whiteboard in
damp or smoky environments.
• After the interactive whiteboard is installed, avoid touching its power and
data cables.
• Keep the interactive whiteboard away from open flames, electrical contacts
and direct sunlight.
• After the interactive whiteboard is installed, make sure that it is fixed securely.
• Avoid looking directly at the beam of light emitted by the projector onto the
whiteboard.
• Do not touch the projector because it could be hot even after only a few
minutes of operation. Refer to the projector manual for all warnings and rules
relating to its use.
• Do not hang onto the support stand of the projector.
When the whiteboard is mounted on a pedestal, be careful not to trip over the
pedestal.

OLIBOARD – Interactive WhiteboardIV
Important notes
• The interactive whiteboard must be used only with the special electronic
pens. Do not use marker pens, pencils or other types of pen. If necessary,
clean the whiteboard using alcohol.
• Make sure that the whiteboard is correctly connected to the computer and
to the electrical mains. The decision to lay the connection and power cables
in a hidden way is preferable, so as to avoid them being pulled and
disconnected. Do not leave the cables lying on the floor to avoid any
possibility of them being tripped over.
• Do not scratch the surface or the frame of the whiteboard with sharp or hard
objects. Environmental conditions: no strong magnetic fields must be present.
If there is a wall made of metal or other magnetic materials, a distance of 10
meters must be maintained between the whiteboard and the wall.
• When writing on the whiteboard with the electronic pen, keep the pen
vertical to the board and do not press.
• When fixed onto a wall, the whiteboard must be vertical to the wall surface.
• Do not hang objects or weights onto the whiteboard and, if present, the
pedestal.
• When it is installed on the pedestal, use caution whenever you move it to
avoid it tipping over.
This manual relates exclusively to the Oliboard whiteboard and the software
provided with it. Although references are made to the computer connected to the
whiteboard (notebook, PC and so on) and to the video-projector, for these
devices you should refer to the original documentation provided by their
manufacturers.

OLIBOARD – Interactive Whiteboard V
Warning
FURTHER WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATIONS IN SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS
The warnings and precautions for using the whiteboard and projector must be
recommended to students as well. The following in particular must be stressed:
• Do not look directly at the beam of light emitted by the projector onto the
whiteboard.
• Do not touch the projector because it could be hot, even after only a few
minutes of operation.
• Pay attention to the connection cables and, if the whiteboard is mounted on
a pedestal, be careful not to trip over it. In any case, it is recommended not to
run near the whiteboard and the pedestal.
• Do not hang onto the support stand of the projector and, if present, the
pedestal.

INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Interactive Whiteboard is an input peripheral device that, thanks to the application
of stable, advanced technologies, allows an interactive environment to be created that,
by connecting a computer and a video-projector, can be used for teaching and demos.
Features
• The Oliboard whiteboard is furnished with a hard surface to ensure resilience to
wear and a protection against acts of vandalism; featuring high tracing precision,
rapid response and operational sensitivity it allows intuitive use by even less expert
users.
• The software provided offers sophisticated functions such as partial magnification,
searchlight, replay, camera, customised background, specialized tools (compass,
ruler, set square, etc),
• With the electronic pen, you can write, take notes, erase, trace geometrical
figures, copy, run and save files.
• The electronic pen can also be used as a mouse to send commands to the
computer.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The whiteboard must be connected to a computer that displays images on the
whiteboard by means of a video-projector.

Software
Configuration Mac OS X V10.4 and later
(Intel platform) Mac OS X V10.4 and later (Intel platform)
Recommended Computer Setup:
1)To obtain the best picture on the whiteboard, the format of the computer video
output (its resolution) and of the projector must be the same as that of the
whiteboard.
Therefore, for whiteboards in format 4/3 (Oliboard 78S and Oliboard 78D), it is
recommended to use an output resolution corresponding to the 4/3 format (e.g.
1024x768 or 800x600).
For a whiteboard in format 16:9 (Oliboard 95D), it is recommended to use an output
resolution corresponding to the 16:9 format (e.g. 1280x800).
2)While using the whiteboard, the computer connected could enter “stand-by” mode.
To avoid this, it is advisable to deactivate the screen-saver and energy-saving
functions.
