About electric waves used by this product
This product uses electric waves on the 2.4 GHz band. When using this product, a radio
station license is not necessary. However, please note the following cautions.
Do not use near the following:
▪ Microwave ovens/industrial, scientific or medical equipment, such as pacemakers
▪ In-factory radio stations for mobile unit identification systems (radio stations that
require a license) used in production lines of factories.
▪ Specified low power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license)
▪ IEEE802.11g/b wireless LAN units
When this unit is used near any of the equipment mentioned above, it is possible that
electric wave interference could occur.
About wireless equipment used on the 2.4 GHz band
This frequency bandwidth is the same as for industrial, scientific, and medical
equipment such as microwave ovens, mobile unit identification systems (radio stations
that require a license) used in factory production lines, and specified low-power radio
stations (radio stations that do not require a license).
▪ Before using this device, check that there are no radio stations for mobile unit
identification systems or specified low-power radio stations nearby.
▪ If this product emits electric waves which interfere with in-factory radio stations for mobile
unit identification systems, cease use immediately and stop generating the electric waves.
Contact our customer service department for information on countermeasures, etc. (for
example, erecting partitions).
▪ Contact your local dealer or our nearest branch office or sales office if this unit emits
electric waves which interfere with specified low-power radio stations used for mobile
unit identification systems, or causes similar problems.
About lithium-ion batteries
The lithium-ion battery that is used in the tablet is a rechargeable Li-ion battery. As this
lithium-ion battery can easily be affected by temperature and humidity, store it in a dry
location between 15 and 25°C.
During charging, after charging, and during use, the lithium-ion battery becomes warm.
Remove the lithium-ion battery from the tablet if it will not be used for a long time.
When using the lithium-ion battery, check that the outside and terminals of the battery are
not deformed in any way.
Deformed lithium-ion batteries can be very dangerous and should not be used under any
circumstances.
The lithium-ion battery's service life is reduced if frequent top-up charging is performed.
12
For unneeded lithium-ion batteries, cover the metallic sections with insulating tape such as
Scotch Tape, and recycle them in accordance with your local regulations or contact our
nearest branch office or sales office.
Replacing the lithium-ion battery
If the unit can only be used for an extremely short time or the power does not come on, the
lithium-ion battery has reached the end of its service life.
Please purchase a new lithium-ion battery from one of our sales departments whose
details are provided at the end of this manual.
Note that the lithium-ion battery is considered to be a consumable item and therefore a fee is
charged even if it falls within our warranty period.
Maintenance
Remove the connected cable and the lithium-ion battery, and store this product in a
location that is not subject to humidity or moisture.
• Remove any dirt from the product with a soft, dry cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt, dilute some detergent in water, dip a soft cloth in the water,
and then wring it out before using it to wipe away the dirt. Do not use any volatile
solvents such as thinner or benzene.

Main functions
This product is an educational tool for making lessons using ELMO's Document Camera more
enjoyable and easier to understand.
The product has various indispensable features for teaching more effective lessons.
• Drawing on the Document Camera image
Because you can draw directly onto the Document Camera image, you can directly
communicate the important points that cannot be explained fully just by display.
• Large and viewer-friendly screen
Equipped with an innovative user interface born from ELMO's in-depth knowledge of lessons
using Document Cameras. The icons are large and easy to remember, and are simple to
operate from anywhere in the classroom. This provides powerful support for your lessons.
• Wireless function brings new possibilities
Thanks to the USB wireless communication, you are free to draw from wherever you want in
the classroom.
• Various recording methods are available immediately
With "Lesson recording", you can easily record both the text written on the Document Camera
and audio. Easy, one-touch playback can be performed of recorded images. Both the
examples that you want to show the students and any written text are recorded together, so
you can show them to students again to help with their learning.
Other recording methods are also available to suit different objectives. "Intermittent recording"
enables the monitoring of changes over a long period of time, while "Frame recording" allows
you to record only the scenes that you want.
• Effortless creation of the required teaching materials
You can create teaching materials for lessons with the Document Camera. It is simple to
retrieve the created teaching materials for use in class. This product is designed especially for
use while lessons are in progress, enabling you to teach a wide range of lessons without
interrupting the flow of the class.
