Tips
1. The most proper distance from calibration device to the screen is 55cm - 100cm if the projection screen is
70-80inch. Computer image taken by the device must include whole projection screen. you can open the
menu of Installation and chose tuning image mode 1, then you can see following:

The white place is projection

screen shoot by our camera.
The white image must take
up 60-80% of total screen.

2. When use the infrared pen do manual calibration. Place the pen tip at the center of the cross; hold the infrared
pen at an angle of 30 45to the projection surface and then press. Please hold on until color of cross turns
blue from red. Then click next cross.

3, Best Installation way: Install the Calibration Device on the ceiling and there is no block between the tip of pen
20

3D TOUCH INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD MANUAL

and device. If the Calibration Device cannot be installed on the ceiling, please make sure there is no block
between the tip of pen and the Calibration Device when operation, like users body or hand. If there is block,
interrupted lines would happen during writing.
(Remark: if battery is not available, interrupted lines would happen during writing too.)

4, Operate right click function: pressure the infrared pen for 2 seconds.

5, USB cable has to be plugged into the port in the back of Computer Box.

6, If the software screen is not red, click stop and set another camera in the list of device, then choose start
again.
7. If after calibration, window of software is minimized and the mouse can move, but operations of double-click
and right-click does not work, please check if you have installed any anti-virus software, which prohibits additional
mouse functions, so that you cannot use all the functions of mouse. Please turn off anti-virus software, and then
our software can be used normally.

8, If there is time delay of green light moving in the red screen of the calibration software, please open menu of
status and check actual frame rate. If it is less than 110, please change a computer or contact your seller.

9. If the calibration failed, then you can find the folder named Intermdiate, open it, then you will find folder
