Using Gestures; Using Lockable Pen Mode - Smarttech Smart Board 800 series User Manual

CHAPTER 4
USING AND MAINTAINING THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD
If you touch the interactive surface with your finger, you perform a left click.
l
If you touch the interactive surface with an eraser, your palm or the side of your hand, SMART
l
software identifies a large contact area, and you erase digital ink from the screen.

Using Lockable Pen mode

If you want every touch on the interactive whiteboard surface to register as a specific tool—such as
a pen, eraser, or Select tool—activate that tool and then, hold down a pen color button on the pen
tray until its light flashes (about three seconds). The interactive whiteboard locks into that mode.
EXAMPLE
If you want every touch to create red ink, press the red pen tray button until the red light flashes
(about three seconds). Then every time you touch the board with your fingers, a pen or an eraser,
you create red ink.
NOTE
The selected pen tray light blinks to indicate you're in Lockable Pen mode. To unlock the pen,
press any pen tray color button.

Using gestures

Touch gestures enable you to use pre-determined commands without using the keyboard or
mouse. With a series of touches on the interactive whiteboard screen, you can navigate pages,
change the look of an object, erase digital ink and more.
Before you use gestures, you must enable the interactive whiteboard to recognize them. If you
don't enable gestures, only single-finger gestures are enabled.
NOTES
Gestures are enabled by default on Windows 7 or later operating systems and Mac 10.6 or
l
later operating system software.
