l Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers because they can be very difficult to erase. Use
standard (high-odor) dry-erase markers that show a warning to use them only in well-ventilated
areas.
l Don’t use adhesive tape on the interactive surface.
l Don’t use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals to clean your product.
l Don’t use compressed air to clean the interactive whiteboard’s cameras because the force of
the air could damage them.
l The digital cameras located in the corners of the frame are protected from dust and dirt by
windows. In extremely dusty environments, spray a household, alcohol-free glass cleaner,
such as Windex® cleaner, on a cotton swab and rub it gently on the windows. Don’t use
compressed air to clean the cameras.
Keeping the writing surface clean
Follow these tips to keep the interactive whiteboard’s surface clean.
l Clean your interactive whiteboard at least every six months.
l Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the interactive whiteboard’s surface. Instead, spray a light
amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the interactive surface.
l Don’t allow excess cleaner to flow onto the frame’s reflective surfaces.
l
IMPORTANT
Turn off your interactive whiteboard system before you clean it so that you do not scramble
the desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe the interactive
surface.
TIP
To view dirt or streaks more easily, set your projector to Standby (lamp off) mode.
