Calibrating Your Whiteboard
Your interactive whiteboard must be calibrated for first-time use or if the board or projector
has moved since the previous calibration. If the board is recognizing input in the wrong
location, you can also recalibrate at any time per the directions below:
1)
Double click the
or icon (depending on your software version) in the
bottom right corner of the task bar, then choose "Calibration". If a dialog box
appears, click Calibrate.
2)
A black or grey screen will appear. The black screen will show crosshairs in each of
the four corners of the screen: simply press each one with your finger. The grey
screen will show circles in each corner: hold your finger in the center of the flashing
circle until it disappears and moves to another corner, and repeat this process for
each circle. One finished, you will be prompted to do the same for the hard-keys on
the sides of the board.
Once this process is complete the board will remain calibrated unless there is substantial
movement of the projector or the board itself.
