includes a simple menu User Interface to select and configure pen and mouse options, and
uses a factory installed rechargeable battery for power.

1.2.3 penveu System Accessories
The penveu interactive display system includes the following accessories:
one (1) dock station to offer an additional charging location and stand for the pen.
two (2) identical power adapters; used to power the dock and the veu.The veu must
be connected to a power outlet with one of the provided power adapters when using
the system. See Section 2.3 SET UP the penveu system for detailed instructions.
one (1) USB cable; used to connect the veu to the computer source(e.g. PC, Mac,
laptop, tablet, or other mobile device).
Not all mobile devices with USB ports will support mouse mode. The penveu system
will operate with USB mouse connections that support “absolute mouse positioning”
(the exact pixel location is used). “Relative mouse” positioning is not supported at this
time as the mouse position is not exact in this mode and relies only on the amount of
movement from the last relative location. A computer with a USB connection is
required to perform system updates and access saved files from the storage on the veu.
one (1) VGA cable; used to connect the veu to the computer source (e.g. PC, Mac,
laptop, tablet or other mobile device).
Attach an applicable converter to this cable if the interface on the computer source is
not VGA (i.e. HDMI). Converters are not included.
