LiteBoard™ Pen
The LiteBoard pen works like a wireless mouse - but one that works in
midair, not on your desktop. Just hold the pen in your hand, and point it at
the projected image to point, click and drag. The pen works with all your
software, just like a regular mouse.
Computer System Requirements and Connections
For the pen to work, a LiteBoard-compatible projector needs to be powered
on and connected to your computer.
The LiteBoard pen is compatible with any computer and operating system
t
hat supports a standard USB mouse (including Windows, Macintosh, and
Linux). To set up your computer with the pen, make sure a USB cable is
connected between your projector's DisplayLink connector and a USB port
on your computer.
Charging the Pen’s Battery
When the pen’s amber battery light starts to blink, its internal battery is low
(if the battery is fully discharged, you won’t be able to turn the pen on by
pressing its tip, L or R buttons).
To charge the battery, open the flap at the rear of the pen to expose the pen’s
USB connector. Then connect a USB cable between the pen and the USB
power adapter, or a computer (if connecting to a computer, make sure the
computer is powered on). The battery light will stay on while the battery is
charging, then it will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
When charging is finished, you can disconnect the USB cable (or keep the
ca
ble connected and use the pen while it°¶s charging).
NOTE:
5-10 minutes of charging is enough for about an hour of pen use. A
full charge will take 6-8 hours and will allow 20-40 hours of non-stop pen
use.
Caution: The lithium battery is only rechargeable, and is not user
serviceable or user replaceable.
Caution: A
lways use the included USB cable and power adapter (or your
computer) to charge the pen.
