2. Usage

2.1 Basic Usage

In this chapter, the basic usage of the StarBoard will be explained.

Read this section carefully to learn about the StarBoard functions.

2.1.1 Preparation

Prepare to use the StarBoard.

(1) Insert the battery into the electronic pen.

StarBoard

(1) Open the battery cover on the electronic pen by moving in the direction of the arrow.

StarBoard

(2) As shown in the figure, insert the battery after verifying that the “+” side faces to the pen tip.

StarBoard

(3) Replace the battery cover and slide it in the direction of the arrow until it closes completely.

HITACHI FX-82 - Preparation - 4

CAUTION

Be sure to orient the battery correctly.

Do not reverse the + and - terminals of the battery, and use only the specified type of battery. Otherwise, it will overheat and fail.

Be sure to insulate the battery before discarding it.

Before discarding the AA battery, be sure to insulate the + and - terminals with cellophane tape, or similar material. If batteries are discarded without insulation, they might short or overheat, rupture, and ignite, resulting in injury or fire. Also, dispose of them as instructed by the local authorities.

2.1.2 How to Use Electronic Pen

(1) When drawing with the electronic pen, apply force sufficient enough to cause the pen tip to sink completely into the electronic pen. When information from the pen is being transmitted normally, a slight buzzing sound is audible from the pen.
(2) A miniature transmitter is embedded in the tip of the electronic pen. When drawing annotations or graphics while holding the electronic pen below the colour ring, the drawing data from the electronic pen sometimes is not transmitted correctly. If the annotations and graphics drawn on the whiteboard are not stored correctly to the PC, change your grip on the electronic pen and then verify that they are displayed correctly.

Blocking of Infrared Beam

In the mechanism of this device, the pen coordinates are detected after the digitiser reads the infrared beam emitted by the pen and the ultrasonic signals. So, if the electronic pen or the digitiser is blocked, normal input becomes impossible. Avoid blocking them during use. Also, when it is used with the optional wireless unit, the digitiser also functions as a wireless transmitter, so avoid blocking the digitiser front and the wireless receiver.

2.1.3 Basic operation of Electronic Pen

In the default setting of the electronic pen, the pen tip is set to emulate the left click button of a mouse. While Windows is in operation, the following mouse operations can be performed using the pen tip button.

  • Click
    Push the pen tip onto the StarBoard with sufficient force and then release the pen away from the board.
  • DoubleClick
    Perform the "Click" operation explained above twice in the same spot.

- Drag

Push the pen tip onto the starboard with sufficient force, and without releasing it away from the broad, move it from one point to another.

2.1.4 Electronic Pen Setting

The electronic pen has one pen tip button, and two side buttons. Mouse actions can be assigned to these three buttons. The default button settings are summarized in the following table.

Button Name Function
