About the pen buttons: Color Copyboard Mode   Copyboard Mode is MeetingBoard’s simplest mode of operation. When using Copyboard Mode, the tablet acts as an electronic dry-erase board---information written on the MeetingBoard tablet is captured as an electronic image, which can be printed on a color ink jet printer.   Tip:  To start Color Copyboard Mode, see Starting from MeetingBoard.  It's always good to clear the buffer (press Clear twice) before starting to use Color Copyboard Mode.  This assures that you are starting with a blank "page."   Note:  Color Copyboard Mode is not available on the MeetingBoard LX.   Note:  MeetingBoard does not store files in Copyboard Mode.

About the Virtual Keyboard
Welcome Page 39 of 54file://C:\TEMP\~hhA856.htm 8/12/02The Virtual Keyboard is an on-screen substitute for the physical keyboard attached to the PC supporting Meeting Suite.  It enables you to do anything in Interactive Mode that you can do from the physical keyboard.  The Virtual Keyboard is convenient because you can "type" while keeping your focus on the MeetingBoard.  Additionally, the Virtual Keyboard lets MeetingPad users "type" from anywhere in the room.   Tip:  The Virtual Keyboard works with any program, not just InterWrite.  After opening the Virtual Keyboard, switch to another program and "type" using the Virtual Keyboard to enter text and keyboard shortcuts.

Welcome Page 42 of 54file://C:\TEMP\~hhA856.htm 8/12/02   Viewer buttons    File naming   n  How InterWrite names files:  The default file name is mmddyy.gwb ,  where mmddyy   is today's date (month, day and year).  You can change an InterWrite file's name, but you should retain its gwb  extension.    If InterWrite creates more than one file on the same day, files after the first include a two digit sequential number, as in mmddyyNN.gwb , where NN  is the sequential number.    Example:  For the first meeting on November 9, 2002, InterWrite saves screens in the file 110902.gwb .   For the second meeting on that day, InterWrite saves screens in file 11090201.gwb .   The third meeting goes in 11090202.gwb ,  and so forth.n  Where InterWrite saves files:  The default directory is specified in the Preferences window (Edit > Preferences in the InterWrite menu).

This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B Information Technology Equipment according to CISPR 22/European Standard EN55022.  The limits for Class B equipment were derived for typical industrial environments to provide reasonable protection against interference with licensed communication devices. Radio frequency emissions notices for MeetingBoard   This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which  can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:n  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.n  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.n  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.n  Reorient or coil cables.n  If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.Any cables the user adds to the device must be shielded to be in compliance with the FCC standards.  Any unauthorized modification to this device could result in the revocation of the end user’s authority to operate this device.
