WarningsWARNING

l A minimum of two people are required tomount the DualBoard to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the board.l Stabilize the floor stand before repositioning the board. To stabilize the floor stand, lock down the thumb tabs on thecasters, or push the board against the wall to prevent it from rolling, or place your foot on the floor stand foot.

l Position the floor stand on a level surface to avoid tipping.l Lower the DualBoard to the lowest position beforemoving the floor stand.l Do not hang objects on the DualBoard.

ATTENTION!

l Il faut deux personnes pour fixer le tableau blanc sur le mur ou sur le pied afin d’éviter tout endommagement oublessure.

l Une seule personne peut ajuster la position du tableau blanc (vers le haut ou le bas) mais assurez-vous que le pied desol est bien stable avant de repositionner le tableau. Abaissez les pattes de verrouillage des roulettes avec le pouce,poussez le pied contre unmur pour éviter qu’il ne roule ou placez l’un de vos pieds sur le pied du tableau pour maintenircelui-ci en place pendant que vous ajustez sa position.

l Positionnez le pied du tableau sur une surface plane afin d’éviter tout basculement.l Descendez le tableau blanc jusqu’à la position la plus basse du pied avant de le déplacer.

WARNUNG

l Zum Befestigen des DualBoard an derWand oder am Ständer sind zwei Personen erforderlich, um Personenverletzungoder Beschädigungen des DualBoard zu vermeiden.

l Die Höhe des DualBoard kann auch von einer Person allein verstellt werden, dazumuss jedoch sichergestellt sein,dass der Ständer des Boards sicher steht und nicht umfallen kann. Dazu entweder die Laufrollen arretieren, den Ständergegen eineWand rollen oder einen Fuß auf den Ständer stellen, damit das DualBoard beim Verstellen der Höhe nichtwegrollen kann.

l Stellen Sie den DualBoard-Ständer auf einen ebenen Untergrund, damit er nicht umfallen kann.l Stellen Sie das DualBoard vor dem Transport in die niedrigste Position.l Hängen Sie keine Gegenstände an das DualBoard.

¡ADVERTENCIA!

l Dos son las personas recomendadas para instalar la pizarra en la pared o en la base de pie con el fin de evitar que seproduzcan heridas personales o se dañe la pizarra.

l Una persona puede ajustar la posición de la pizarra hacia arriba o hacia abajo pero asegurándose de que la base de piehaya quedado estable antes de intentar colocar el tablero. Fije el bloqueomanual de las ruedecillas o coloque la base depie contra la pared para evitar que semueva, también puede poner uno de sus pies en la base para sujetarla cuandoajuste la posición de la pizarra.

l Coloque la base de pie de la pizarra en una superficie nivelada para evitar que vuelque.l Baje la pizarra hasta la posiciónmás baja de la base de pie antes de transladar esta última.l No cuelgue objetos en la pizarra.

AVVERTENZA!


DualBoard 5

l Due persone devonomontare la Lavagna sulla parete o su un cavalletto per evitare lesioni o danni alla Lavagna.l Una persona può regolare la posizione della Lavagna verso l’alto o il basso, ma assicurarsi di stabilizzare il cavallettoprima di tentare di riposizionare la lavagna. Bloccare verso il basso le linguette di bloccaggio sulle rotelle o spingere ilcavalletto contro una parete per impedirne il rotolamento, oppure appoggiare il proprio piede sul piede del cavalletto pertenerlo fermomentre si regola la posizione della Lavagna.

l Posizionare il cavalletto della Lavagna su una superficie piana per evitarne il rovesciamento.l Abbassare la Lavagna alla posizione più bassa sul cavalletto prima di spostare il supporto.l Non appendere oggetti sulla Lavagna.

Getting StartedDualBoard™ is the first interactive whiteboard designed specifically to allow two interactive electro-magnetic pens to be usedat the same time on a single digital whiteboard.

With DualBoard:

l Write, draw, insert images, highlight, interact with, and annotateover content. Create content inWorkSpace® or projectinstructional content from external sources (e.g., PDFs andwebpages).

l Participants can work simultaneously, in equal or separate areasof the board, as defined by the instructor.

l Two participants can write on the board at a time ("split screen").l Multiple participants can work in the same display area("sandbox").

l Pens are conveniently seated in the pen charger, ensuring that apen is always readily available.

l Dry erasemarkers can be used on the DualBoard.
