LCD Screen
If the ACTIVslate is functioning correctly, the LCD Screen will look like this:
Battery Icon
The battery icon indicates the amount of power left in the battery. When the
battery is almost empty, a recharge message will appear on the LCD. This means
you have approximately 30 minutes left before the ACTIVslate will shut down. To
recharge the ACTIVslate, refer to ‘Recharging the battery’.
The internal battery gives approx. 30 hours continuous use from when the battery
is fully charged. As the ACTIVslate will not normally be used continuously, a full
charge may well equate to a number of weeks of use.
Signal Strength
The increasing signal bar size indicates the proximity of the ACTIVslate with the
ACTIVboard or ACTIVhub. A small antenna icon is displayed next to the signal
bars when a registered ACTIVslate is enabled. The icon disappears when the
ACTIVslate is disabled.
ACTIVslate name
Displays the default ACTIVslate name. This cannot be changed. Also displays
the temperature warnings ‘TEMP HIGH’ or ‘TEMP LOW’. Refer to Recharging the
battery for more information.
ACTIVslate ID
The ID number is stored permanently in the ACTIVslate to distinguish one
ACTIVslate from another.
The default ID number for every ACTIVslate will be set to 01. If you only ever
have one ACTIVslate, there will be no reason to change this default.
Refer to ‘Menu ’ for more information about how to change the ID.
Menu Functions
You can use the ACTIVpen on the LCD Screen to access some menu functions.
The small triangle outline to the left of MENU becomes solid when the ACTIVpen
is within close proximity of the LCD Screen or drawing area. When the triangle
becomes solid, you can press the ACTIVpen on MENU to view or change the
following functions:
