Frequently Asked Questions - UB-T580 PANASONIC

How do I calibrate the elite Panaboard after setup?

Calibration is automatically prompted when you connect the USB cable. Use your finger to touch the center of each crosshair for about 2 seconds. For improved accuracy, click Advanced to perform Advanced Calibration if the image edges are curved.

What should I do if the Status LED lights red?

A red LED indicates dirt on the reflecting tape, magnets on the board, objects on the lower frame, or sudden temperature changes. Clean the tape with a soft damp cloth, remove any objects, and unplug/replug the USB cable. If the issue persists, contact your dealer.

Can I use the elite Panaboard with a USB hub?

No. Connect the elite Panaboard directly to a computer USB port. Using a USB hub or extension cable may cause connection issues.

How do I replace the battery in the electronic pen?

Unlock and open the battery cover. Insert a new AAA alkaline battery with correct polarity (+/-). Close and lock the cover. Dispose of old batteries properly.

What is the difference between Finger/Stylus Pen mode and Electronic Pen mode?

In Finger/Stylus Pen mode, you can use your finger or the stylus pen for touch and drawing. In Electronic Pen mode, the electronic pen is active with functions like drawing, erasing, and highlighting. Switch modes by clicking the mode icon in the notification area or pressing the menu/mode selector button on the electronic pen.

Why is my finger not drawing on the screen?

Ensure you are in Finger/Stylus Pen mode (not Electronic Pen mode). Also, avoid touching the board with other parts of your hand. If the reflecting tape is dirty, clean it with a soft damp cloth.

How do I install the software from the DVD-ROM?

Insert the DVD-ROM, run Menu.exe, click Install elite Panaboard, accept the license, select features, and follow the wizard. Do not connect the USB cable until prompted. Restart the computer if required.

Can I use the elite Panaboard with a projector that has a different resolution?

Yes, but you need to set the projector and computer to their most appropriate resolution. If the resolution is too low, thin lines may appear broken. Perform calibration after changing the resolution.

How do I clean the screen board?

Unplug the USB cable. Use a soft cloth moistened with water (wrung out thoroughly) to gently wipe the screen board surface and the reflecting tape areas inside the frames. For stubborn marks, use diluted neutral household detergent, avoiding the reflecting tape.

What should I do if the electronic pen stops working?

Check if the mode is set to Electronic Pen mode (icon in notification area). Replace the battery if low (flashing green LED). Ensure no other electronic whiteboard is nearby interfering with infrared signals. If problems persist, shut down other applications or anti-virus software.
