Note: Not all toolbar icons/features are available depending on a connected device.
Choosing the right tool If you already have annotation software, you can use it with your BrightLink projector. If you are using Microsoft® Office 2007 or later, you can also use the “inking tools” to add handwritten notes to your documents and PowerPoint® presentations. Here are some tips on choosing from the tools that came with your BrightLink projector:
BrightLink interaction
Use the BrightLink interactive pens or your fingers to turn almost any flat wall into an interactive area.
Interactive pens
Your projector came with 2 pens, one orange (Interactive Pen A) and one blue (Interactive Pen B).
Make sure one AA battery is installed in each pen.
- To turn on the pen, pick it up. To check the battery, press and hold the button. If the battery is low, the light flashes.
- Hold the pen perpendicular to the board when using it.
- When you are finished using the pen, simply place it in an area away from the projection screen.
Note: The pin turns off automatically after about 15 seconds of inactivity. Pick the pen up to turn it back on.
Finger touch
If you have the optional finger touch unit installed, you can use your finger to perform the same functions as the interactive pens. You can use either a pen or your finger, or use both at the same time. When performing finger touch operations, you can use up to six fingers.
Note: The number of pen and finger touch inputs depends on the interactive mode, operating system, and connection type. See the online BrightLink User’s Guide for more information.
