Before Use
Thank you very much for purchasing this product. Please read this manual carefully to make suitable use of the Tablet. Also, please be sure to refer to any supplemental information included with this product.

Caution

Please note that screens and figures used in this manual may differ from the actual views.

Main Functions
This product (Tablet) is an educational tool that makes lessons using ELMO's Document Camera more enjoyable and easier to understand. The Tablet has several key features for teaching more effective lessons. Drawing on the Document Camera image By drawing directly onto the Document Camera image, you can easily get important points that were difficult to explain just by image across to students. Operating the Document Camera Operations such as zooming with the Document Camera are simple to perform with the menu buttons on the screen. Free to operate from a distance A wireless system is used to enable you to draw from wherever you want in the classroom.

 Using as a whiteboard You can select an image to use as the background in your lesson, such as graph paper or musical score. You can draw graphs or press an item stamp to position illustrations such as human figures or fruit, helping you to create teaching materials. It is simple to retrieve created teaching materials to use in class.

Recording a lesson Several recording methods are available for different objectives. Lesson recording Intermittent recording Frame recording Record both the text written on the Document Camera image and audio. Records changes over a long time at constant intervals. Records only the scenes that you select for recording.

Easy, one-touch playback can be performed on recorded images. In lesson recording, both the examples that you want to show to the students and any written text are recorded together, so you can show them to the students again to help with their learning.

 Drawing on a computer screen You can operate a computer with the Tablet. You can use the Tablet instead of a mouse to operate a computer, or to draw directly on the computer screen.

Drawing straight lines The straight line pen and marker have a straight line correction function. It automatically converts a handwritten straight line into a precise straight line. This function is useful for drawing graphs and figures, and for underlining.

About the battery pack

The battery pack used in the Tablet is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. As it can easily be affected by temperature and humidity, store the battery pack in a dry location between 15 and 25C. During charging, after charging, and during use, the battery pack becomes warm. Remove the battery pack from the tablet if it will not be used for a long time. When using the battery pack, check that the outside and terminals of the battery pack are not deformed in any way. A deformed battery pack can be very dangerous and should not be used under any circumstances. The battery pack's service life is reduced if frequent top-up charging is performed. For an unneeded battery pack, cover the metallic sections with insulating tape such as Scotch Tape, and recycle it in accordance with your local regulations, or take it to one of our sales departments whose details are provided at the end of this manual.

Replacing the battery pack

If the product can only be used for an extremely short time or the power does not come on, the battery pack has reached the end of its service life. Please purchase a new battery pack from one of our sales departments whose details are provided at the end of this manual. Please note that the battery pack is considered to be a consumable item and therefore a fee is charged even if replacement is required within our warranty period.
