Ignore this section if you are not using ActivInspire with an ActivBoard.
This section describes how you can check if your ActivBoard needs calibrating.
When using an ActivBoard, you may need to re-calibrate if the whiteboard or projector have been moved for any reason. Calibration aligns the tip of the ActivPen to the cursor on the screen.
With both the ActivBoard and the computer switched on, hold the ActivPen lightly on the ActivBoard, without pushing in the ActivPen nib. The cursor, on the ActivBoard, should line up with the tip of the ActivPen. If it does not, you need to calibrate the ActivBoard.
How you calibrate the ActivBoard depends on the type of ActivBoard.
Method 1
Hover the ActivPen over the Calibration light in the top-left corner of the ActivBoard for a few seconds.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Method 2
Right-click on the
ActivManager icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the
display.
Select Calibrate.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Check that the tip of your ActivPen lines up with the cursor on the ActivBoard. If it does not, try Method 3.
Method 3
On your computer:
Right-click
on the ActivManager
icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
Select Calibrate.
Once the calibration program starts, move to the board and follow the on-screen instructions.

After calibrating, check that the tip of your ActivPen lines up with the cursor on the ActivBoard. If it does not, reset the board by switching it off for thirty seconds. Then switch it on and try calibrating again, or contact technical support. |
