DDDLLLPPP PPPrrrooojjjeeeccctttooorrr———UUUssseeerrr’’’sss MMMaaannnuuuaaalll — 11 — USING THE POINTRACER Operating Range The PointRacer uses scanning technology to detect the distance and projected image area. The scanning angle and distance are illustrated in the following figure. +45°-45°6mScreenPointRacer PenPointRacer Pen For best results, point the interactive pen directly at the screen without line of sight interference. Adjusting the Display On-screen interference is caused when the image is blocked and shadows are created in the project-ed image. The PointRacer function requires direct scanning of the image. To avoid interference, adjust the projected image as suggested in the following.
