Interactive Displays

• Press the display's power button to turn it on. Then, touch anywhere on the screen to wake it up. 
• From the home page, you have several options for using the display. Follow the instructions in the below sections for the function you wish to use.
• The toolbar is located on the left and right sides of the screen. In some rooms, the toolbar will minimize to a white circle when not in use. Pressing the circle will expand the toolbar.
• Controlling the screen:
  • The screen can be utilized by touching the screen with your fingers or a stylus provided in some rooms (we recommend a rubber-tipped stylus). You can even use a chopstick! You can use two fingers to pinch in and out to zoom in or out.
  • Some rooms also have a mouse that can be used to control the cursor. If your room does not have one and you would like to bring your own, plug the mouse or its USB receiver into the display's USB port located on the bottom left corner.
  • You can also use a keyboard to type. 
    • Some rooms have physical keyboard that can be used instead of the on-screen keyboard. If your room does not have a keyboard, you may bring one and plug into the USB port located in the bottom left corner of the display.
    • In rooms without physical keyboards, you may use an on-screen keyboard. Simply tap in a text box, and the on-screen keyboard will pop up. For example, in the Browser, tap in the web address field and the keyboard will pop up.

The display has a built-in Windows computer.

If you would like to display your own laptop, phone, or tablet on the display via a wired connection:

• Locate the room's HDMI cable.
• Use that HDMI cable to connect your device to the HDMI port in the bottom of the display. Note that if your device does not have a HDMI port, you will need a HDMI adapter.
• Your device should automatically appear on the display. If it does not, choose HDMI or HDMI 1 on the home screen.

In some rooms, you can send the display's image to other displays so that students can better see it.
