Package Contents Congratulations on your purchase of the IW2 Wireless Interactive Whiteboard System. After a few simple steps, your system will be calibrated and ready to use. Your package should contain the following: Wireless Receiver IW2 Interactive Pen IW2 Sensor Cam Power Adapter Ceiling Mount Tripod Mount Replaceable Pen Cap 3.
Two Ways to Use IW2 Use the Interactive Pen as a Computer Cursor The Interactive Pen can behave like a mouse, transforming any surface into a touchscreen. Use the Pen to intuitively perform the actions you’d normally use your mouse to perform. Note: The Interactive Pen can perform normal mouse actions including click, double click, and drag. However, some actions are not executable with the Pen, such as hovering.
How IW2 Works IW2 is made up of three devices: the Interactive Pen, the Sensor Cam, and the Wireless Receiver (attached at the bottom of the Interactive Pen). The Interactive Pen emits infrared signals on contact or by pressing the IPEVO button on the Pen, the Sensor Cam, which acts as the “eye” of IW2, then reads the infrared signals emitted and detects the physical location of the Pen.
Getting to Know IW2 Lens Detects signals emitted by the Interactive Pen. LED Indicator Lights up when powered up and connected. Different colors (solid and blinking) indicate various states. Color States Green The Sensor Cam is powered on and connected with the Wireless Receiver. The Sensor Cam is not connected with the Blinking Wireless Receiver. Check that the Wireless Orange Receiver is plugged into your computer and is placed within 16 ft (5m) of the Sensor Cam.
Contact Sensitive Tip Send signals for left, right, and double mouse clicks. Brief contact performs a left click while pressing in and holding for 2 seconds or longer performs a right click. IPEVO Button This is another way to perform mouse clicks. Press for a left click, or press and hold for 2 seconds or longer for a right click. Power Switch Turn the Interactive Pen on and off. Sensor Power Button Battery Cover Open to reveal slots for 2 AAA batteries. Remotely turn your Sensor Cam on or off.
Installing IW2 1. Driver & Software Installation IW2 requires IPEVO IW Driver to function. IW2 also comes with a free screen annotation software IPEVO Annotator. You can choose to install and use the IPEVO Annotator with your IW2. There is no included CD-ROM for IW Driver or IPEVO Annotator in this package. Please visit the IPEVO website to download the latest version of IW Driver and IPEVO Annotator at: support.ipevo.
2. Positioning the Sensor Cam Proper position of the Sensor Cam is important for optimum operation. Follow these guidelines to place the Sensor Cam: • For most projectors, a good position for the Sensor Cam will be the same location as the projector. One exception to this is if you are using a short-throw projector. In that case, you will need to place the Sensor Cam further away from the screen than the projector. • Minimal distance from your screen depends on screen size.
Installing IW2 (cont’d) Projection screen Unavailable Sensor Cam Unavailable 25˚ Excellent 35˚ Poor Poor Good 45˚ 35˚ 45˚ Acceptable 55˚ 55˚ Poor 65˚ 75˚ 90˚ 65˚ 75˚ As you can see: • Accuracy is better when the Sensor Cam is closer to the center. • Accuracy decreases as the angle increases. • Larger screens require more distance between the screen and the Sensor Cam. Note: Please keep a clear path between the Sensor Cam and the projection screen to ensure proper operation. 3.
B. Use an upside-down ceiling mount The Sensor Cam can be mounted upside-down onto the ceiling or ceiling-mounted projector. To do so: 1. Align the hole on the base of the Sensor Cam with the circular peg of the ceiling mount and push the Sensor Cam in. You will hear a slight click when the Sensor Cam has settled into position. 2. Before affixing the mount to the ceiling, hold the Sensor Cam in an area just below (by a few inches) where you intend to mount the projector.
Installing IW2 (cont’d) 3. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of grit. Remove the adhesive sticker from the bottom of the ceiling mount, and affix the ceiling mount firmly onto the mounting surface. 1 Remove the sticker 2 Note: The adhesive sticker of ceiling mount is extremely adhesive and should only be applied once. The Sensor Cam can be detached without removing the ceiling mount. Simply remove the Sensor Cam from the ceiling mount. C.
4. Readying the Interactive Pen Remove the battery cover from the Interactive Pen and insert 2 AAA batteries. Replace the cover. Attach the included wrist strap into the attachment holes. Turn on the pen when ready to use. Turn on 5. Connecting to the Computer The Sensor Cam can be connected to your computer wirelessly via the included Wireless Receiver. To do so: 1.

Check the LED indicator of the Sensor Cam. The Sensor Cam’s LED indicator will light up Green once it is successfully connected to your computer.
6. Calibration IW2 must be calibrated before use to ensure accurate operation. This process only takes a couple of steps. Please make sure that the LED indicator of the Sensor Cam shows a solid Green before you proceed with the calibration process. IW2 requires IPEVO IW Driver to function. If you have not previously installed IW Driver, please refer to Page 6 for the downloading and installation instructions.
Installing IW2 (cont’d) Calibration Steps Step 1: Sensor Cam Coverage Detection Tap each corner square (in any order) with the Interactive Pen and make sure ALL the resulting dots appear inside your projection screen. However, do note that the dots do not need to appear inside the corner squares. If the resulting dots are not contained within the projection screen, please follow the instructions onscreen to reposition the Sensor Cam.
Step 3: Calibration Completed After the process, you will be returned to your desktop and your IW2 will be ready for use. However, if the system detected that the Sensor Cam is poorly positioned and that there might be inaccuracies with IW2, follow the instructions onscreen to improve its accuracy.
Using IW2 Interactive Pen Please do the following every time before you start using the Interactive Pen: 1. Plug the Wireless Receiver into your computer’s USB port. 2. Turn on the Sensor Cam by pressing the Sensor Power Button located on the Pen. Make sure the Pen is pointing at the Sensor Cam while doing so. 3. Check that the LED indicator of the Sensor Cam shows a solid Green. There are two ways to use the Interactive Pen. Firstly, it can be used as a mouse with any mouse-based software application.
C. Perform right click Press and hold the contact-sensitive Pen tip onto the screen surface, or press and hold the IPEVO button. Hold for at least 2 seconds. D.

FAQ How do I quickly determine a good working distance between the screen and the Sensor Cam? Normally, the projector is a good location to place the Sensor Cam. If you are using a short-throw projector, however, please refer to Page 7 for the recommended Sensor Cam distance guidelines. Can I use rechargeable AAA batteries for the Interactive Pen? Yes. Rechargeable alkaline batteries are recommended. Can I use IW2 with my own software instead of IPEVO Annotator? Yes.
FAQ (cont’d) 1. Place the Sensor Cam within 1.6 ft (50cm) of your computer. 2. Power up the Sensor Cam. The Sensor Cam LED indicator should show a blinking Orange. Note: Do NOT plug the Wireless Receiver into your computer’s USB port during this step. 3. Press the Pairing Button for 3 seconds to enter Pairing Mode. The Sensor Cam LED indicator should blink alternately between Orange and Green. 4. Plug the Wireless Receiver into your computer’s USB port.
Troubleshooting I had connected the Sensor Cam to an outlet and plugged in the Wireless Receiver to the Computer’s USB port. The LED indicator of the Sensor Cam first shows a blinking Orange then changes to a solid Red, but I am still not able to use the Interactive Pen. The Sensor Cam is trying to detect and connect with the Wireless Receiver when the LED indicator is blinking Orange.
Troubleshooting (cont’d) The LED indicator of the Sensor Cam sometimes blink Orange, and the pen trace continually breaks when I write or draw with the Interactive Pen. There might be serious interference between the wireless connection of the Sensor Cam and the Wireless Receiver caused by nearby infrared equipment. Try moving the positions of the Sensor Cam and/or the computer to avoid the interference spot, or move the Sensor Cam and the computer closer to improve their connection.
