To turn the board on, you need to look on the right side of the board.<br /></span></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389234384882612546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/SspoHqI_uUI/AAAAAAAAABQ/shryrVdU43o/s200/power+cord.JPG" /><br /><p align="center"><em><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390428202786536418" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/Ss6l5AZWu-I/AAAAAAAAAD4/fAMzmHZHr-k/s200/On-off.JPG" />on/off switch</em><br /></p><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">Step 2:</span></strong> Look on the menu on the right side of the Interwrite board. Try clicking on 'Calibrate'. If this works, move to Step 6.</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389238866376112562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/SspsMhATubI/AAAAAAAAABo/GPWNUyONhyw/s200/side+bar.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 122px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389241302000884706" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/SspuaSagW-I/AAAAAAAAAB4/toVIGwVjY0c/s200/side+bar2.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">Step 3:</span></strong> If side menu is not recognizing the <span style="color:#ccffff;">interactive</span> pens, you will need to connect the board from the computer. At the bottom, right-hand corner of your computer screen, you will see the Interwrite icon on the toolbar. Click on this.</span><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 74px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390390826617505170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/Ss6D5bUPhZI/AAAAAAAAACw/JVEVGa4v8mo/s320/photo2.png" /><br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">Step 4:</span></strong> Once you click on the Interwrite icon, a menu will pop up. Click on "eInstruction Device Manager", at the top of the menu. Once in the Device Manager, you will see the Interwrite Board icon, labeled "School Board". If it is disconnected, it will have a red X in the corner of the icon, as seen below:</span><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 197px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 158px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390386439615651698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/Ss5_6Edfn3I/AAAAAAAAACo/qMJGZN0E3C8/s320/photo1.png" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Click on the School Board icon. The red X will change to a green check mark. The board is now connected.</span> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 238px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 168px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390392021367666850" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rKjU7HQoOdw/Ss6E--G4OKI/AAAAAAAAAC4/37rUQ-vGyiw/s320/photo3.png" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">Step 5:</span> </strong>Now that your Interwrite board is connected, click on the School Board icon once. The toolbar in the Device Manager will be active. You will probably now need to calibrate the board so that the pens write correctly.
