Attaching mimio Xi to the whiteboard
mimio Xi can be attached to the whiteboard in two ways.
Temporary suction cup attachment:
When using mimio Xi on a board in a location where it will not remain for more than a day, the
Xi capture bar can be attached using the suction cups. When attaching Xi using suction cups,
make sure the board and suction cups are clean
(wipe with tissue – clean the suction cups only
with water or alcohol – NEVER use solvent cleaners on the suction cups). When cleaning the
upper left hand corner of the board, also make sure there are no scratches or surface irregularities
that would prevent a secure attachment.
NOTE: After attaching Xi with suction cups, make sure that both the top and bottom sets of
cups have fastened properly by applying some lateral force left, right, up and down parallel to
the board surface. If the suction cups loosen when doing this, re-clean and re-attach.
Long-term attachment using mounting brackets:
If your Xi will be used frequently on a particular board or if you wish to use Xi on any board for
an extended period of time (days or more), it is highly recommended
to use the mounting
brackets, of which one pair is supplied with your Xi. The mounting brackets can be attached by
clipping them onto the Xi bar and then removing the protective slip over the 3M “Command”
adhesive strips. Press the bar with the clips onto the upper left corner of the whiteboard in
vertical orientation for landscape oriented boards or horizontally for portrait oriented boards. The
clips will remain in place but the bar can be easily clipped in and out of the brackets and will
remain precisely positioned as long as desired. This fixed positioning can be particularly useful
when your Xi is used with the mimioMouse interactive whiteboard feature and a fixed position
projector since it permits calibration to be retained and eliminates the need for recalibration each
time mimio Xi is used.
NOTE: Additional mounting brackets are available from your mimio reseller or from Virtual
Ink.
