MOBIVIEW SETUP
The MobiView and digital pen are delivered partially charged to allow you to use these items immediately after unpacking the
box. However, it is recommended to charge these items for approximately eight (8) hours before beginning normal use.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Pairing the MobiView with the MultiHub
Calibrating the MobiView Touchscreen
Changing the Language on the MobiView
Adjusting the Brightness on the MobiView
Updating Firmware
Pairing the MobiView with the MultiHub
The MobiView communicates with Turning Technologies software via the MultiHub. The MultiHub is a USB device stored in
the charging stand or on the back of the MobiView.
IMPORTANT
MobiView is compatible with the following software:
lWorkSpace
lFlow
MobiView is NOT compatible with Insight360™.
The MobiView is paired with the MultiHub at the factory. This pairing is confirmed the first time the MobiView is turned on. The
first time the MobiView is turned on, it attempts to connect automatically with the MultiHub. If the MobiView cannot connect to
the MultiHub, the device can be paired manually.
How to pair the MobiVew with the MultiHub...
1Turn on the computer on which WorkSpace or Flow is installed.
2Insert the MultiHub into a working USB port on the computer.
NOTE
If a USB hub is needed, you must use a powered USB hub.
3Turn on the MobiView by pressing the blue Power button on top of the unit.
The message Attempting to Connect is displayed on the MobiView screen.
The Home Screen appears when the MobiView connects to the MultiHub.
TIP
If the message, Unable to Connect… is displayed, confirm the MultiHub has been inserted into a
working USB port. Unplug the MultiHub and reinsert it into a different USB port.
How to manually pair the MobiView with the MultiHub...

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Basic care and maintenance is required for the longevity of the MobiView and the digital pen.
Charging the MobiView
The MobiView should arrive partially charged and ready to be installed. Turning Technologies recommends that MobiView and
its digital pen are both fully charged prior to use in the classroom.
1Carefully remove the plastic tab from the digital pen and place the pen in the recharging pen holder.
2Remove the MultiHub from the back of the MobiView. For convenience, store the MultiHub in the holder on the
charging stand.
3Place the MobiView on the charging stand.
4Plug the USB cable into the power adapter and plug into the wall outlet. Allow approximately eight (8) hours to fully
charge the battery.
Alternatively, the MobiView can be charged by connecting the device to a computer via USB cable. Allow
approximately 12 hours to fully charge the battery if using this method.
TIP
You can use the MobiView while it is charging.
Changing the MobiView Battery
MobiView uses a special rechargeable lithium battery that typically lasts two to three years with normal use. Fully charge and
discharge the unit to maintain optimal battery life.
1Turn over the MobiView.
2Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
3Remove the existing battery pack.
4Plug in the new battery connector to the battery compartment.
5Gently insert the new battery pack into the compartment.
WARNING
Before replacing the cover, hold down the battery connector wires to avoid pinching the wires.
6Replace the battery cover and allow the MobiView to charge for 8 to 12 hours.
Cleaning the MobiView
The MobiView can be cleaned with a soft cloth and gentle cleanser safe for lenses or LCD screens.
turningtechnologies.com/user-guides

MobiView 15
Changing the Digital Pen Battery
The digital pen uses a special rechargeable AAAA battery that typically lasts over a year with normal use.
The digital pen will go into sleep mode after two minutes of inactivity to conserve power. Store the digital pen in the MobiView’s
recharging pen holder when not in use.
NOTE
If the digital pen will not be used for an extended period of time (e.g., summer vacation), remove the
battery.
1Depress the small tab and slide the two sections of the digital pen apart.
2Insert the new battery with the positive (+) terminal facing towards the tip of the digital pen.
3Depress the pen tip. The pen LED will flash four times if the battery was correctly inserted.
4Align the ridges within the rear to the slots in the front section.
5Slide the two sections together until the tab re-engages.
6Charge the digital pen for 8 to 12 hours.
IMPORTANT
It typically takes three charge and discharge cycles for the rechargeable batteries to gain their full power
storage capacity. This is especially important for initial use, or anytime the digital pen battery is replaced.
