The scanning angle and distance are illustrated in the following figure. Screen PointRacer Pen
+45
-45 6m PointRacer Pen For best results, point the interactive pen directly at the screen without line of sight interference. Adjusting the Display On-screen interference is caused when the image is blocked and shadows are created in the project-
ed image. The PointRacer function requires direct scanning of the image. To avoid interference, adjust the projected image as suggested in the following. 11 PPPoooiiinnntttRRRaaaccceeerrr UUUssseeerrrsss MMMaaannnuuuaaalll How to Hold the Interactive Pen Hold the PointRacer in the similar way as you hold a pen/pencil or a remote control. Pen Position You can control the screen functions by pushing the PointRacer tip to the screen. Alternatively, you can hold the tip with your finger instead of pushing the tip to the screen. Do not hold this area. Important:
Push the PointRacer tip diagonally to the screen. To avoid interference, do not push the tip vertical-
ly to the screen. Correct Incorrect 12 Remote Control Position You can control the screen functions by holding the PointRacer as a remote control to the screen. PPPoooiiinnntttRRRaaaccceeerrr UUUssseeerrrsss MMMaaannnuuuaaalll Important:
The PointRacer does not function if the sensor tip is in a shadow or if pointing to a shadow. Correct (no shadow) Incorrect (shadow) Operating the PointRacer You can operate the PointRacer by using the information as provided in the following table BUTTON Tip Left Button Right Button Pairing Button DESCRIPTION Hold the tip to simulate the left button of a mouse. Use this button to perform a left click op-
eration. Hold this button to simulate the left button of a mouse. Use this button to perform a left click operation. Hold this button to simulate the right button of a mouse. Use this button to perform a right click operation. Hold this button down for at least 3 second to enter pairing mode. Note: To cancel pairing, switch off the PointRacer. 13 DDDLLLPPP PPPrrrooojjjeeeccctttooorrrUUUssseeerrrsss MMMaaannnuuuaaalll TROUBLESHOOTING SOLUTION Direct the PointRacer towards the display screen. Ensure the path between the PointRacer and the display screen. Pair the PointRacer and the device again. Check the battery polarity. Replace battery and recharge again. Make sure to hold the buttons firmly while performing an operation. Make sure the device is not blocked by a shadow or pointing directly into a shadow. Make sure the projected image is not blocked, and there is no line-of-sight in-
terference. PROBLEM The device does not work at all or sporadically. Click function does not work Mouse pointer does not func-
tion smoothly or is restricted to an area. 14 PPPoooiiinnntttRRRaaaccceeerrr UUUssseeerrrsss MMMaaannnuuuaaalll REGULATORY COMPLIANCE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
