ACTIVslates in the same room, they MUST all have different ID numbers (ideally
01, 02, 03 … 0n).
1.4 Mode Boxes
There are seven ‘oval’ mode boxes situated in a row above the drawing surface.
These boxes have been configured to allow selection of certain functions in the
ACTIVstudio program. The mode box functions from left to right are:
?
Black Pen
?
Red Pen
?
Blue Pen
?
Highlight
?
Eraser
?
Thick Line
?
Thin Line
To select one of the functions simply click the pen in the middle of the associated
mode box.
NB.
Moving the pen over each mode box will cause the LCD panel to display its
associated ACTIVstudio function.
Certain mode boxes may be used in combination, e.g. You can select ‘Blue Pen’
followed by ‘Thick Line’ to produce a thick blue line.
1.5 Recharging the Battery
The ACTIVslate is powered by an internal battery, one full charge of which gives
approximately 8 hours continuous use (i.e. constant pen drawing). As the
ACTIVslate will not normally be used continuously, a full charge may well equate
to a number of weeks of use.
You may wish to adopt the policy of recharging the ACTIVslate once every week
(say over the weekend).
NB.
The ACTIVslate CANNOT be overcharged.
The ACTIVslate is supplied with a power supply and a cable. In order to recharge
the ACTIVslate, the power supply should be plugged into the mains and the other
end attached to the cable. The flat end of the cable should then be fitted into the
battery/update socket at the top edge of the ACTIVslate (see slate diagram
above).
If the cable is attached correctly, the ACTIVslate will power up (if not already on).
The battery icon on the LCD panel will become animated and the length of time
the ACTIVslate has been on charge will appear to the right of the icon. When
sufficient time has elapsed (approx. 5 hours), a message will appear on the LCD
stating 'Charge complete'. The cable should then be removed from the
ACTIVslate.
