Page 36 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aurora S500 Mouse The Mouse provides the ability to control a mouse-based application program. The Mouse Type setting (PC or MAC) in the Preferences Menu determines which type of mouse you have selected. Use of the Mouse Tool with a Microsoft-compatible mouse driv er requires the PC Mouse Y Cable to be attached to Mouse connector of the Projector and to the mouse serial port of your computer, and a Mouse Type of PC selected in the Preferences Menu. A connector adapter is prov ided if you are using a 25-pin connector. You may also attach your computer mouse to the short cable of the PC Mouse Adapter cable. Once attached, you may use either mouse, but not both simultaneously. The Macintosh Mouse Adapter is available and may be purchased separately. Use of the Mouse Tool with the Macintosh Mouse Adapter requires installation of a driver, connection of the Macintosh Mouse Adapter to the Mouse connector of the Projector and to the ADB port of your Macintosh, and a Mouse Type of MAC selected in the Preferences Menu. Once the mouse is properly installed, depressing the Pen tip on the Mouse Tool will allow the PenPal Pen and Tablet to become a Microsoft-compatible mouse or a Macintosh mouse, depending on which mouse you installed and the Mouse Type setting of the Preferences Menu. The tip of the Pen serves as the mouse button for a Macintosh or as the left mouse button for a Microsoft- compatible mouse. The lower half of the barrel button is equiv alent to the Macintosh button or the right button on a Microsoft-compatible mouse. The eraser end of the Pen is equivalent to a double left mouse click. To use the Mouse, depress the Pen tip on the Mouse Tool. Position the mouse on the image by moving the Pen tip over the Writing Area while it is in proximity. To activate the left mouse button, position the mouse to the desired position and depress the Pen tip. To activate the right mouse button, position the mouse to the desired position, depress the lower barrel button, and then depress the Pen tip. To double click the left mouse button, turn the Pen over so that the eraser end is in proximity and position the mouse to the desired position, and depress the Pen eraser. You may also double click the left mouse button by depressing the Pen tip twice. If you use this method, be sure to keep the mouse position stationary between clicks or it will be detected by your application software as two single clicks rather than one double click. Left and right mouse clicks are also directly activ ated with the Mouse Click buttons. When using these Touch Buttons, the actions are taken immediately and the last selected Tool of the Pen remains unchanged. Upper Rocker Switch Tip Lower Rocker Switch Eraser
Page 37 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aurora S500 If the Pen should reach the edge of the Writing Area and the Mouse still has not reached the edge of the image, simply move the Pen to the opposite side of the Writing Area and back, keeping the Pen in proximity while you move it. NOTE: To ensure that your PC correctly identifies the Microsoft-compatible mouse, the Projector must be powered-on before your PC is powered-on. NOTE: If you can adjust the mouse driver settings, we recommend a slow mouse speed and a medium speed double click with acceleration not selected. NOTE: If the Mouse Tool is selected when you switch a video Source, the Mouse Tool will automatically be de-selected. This is done to minimize the chance of accidentally activating the mouse while viewing a different video Source, for example, a VCR. The Mouse Tool is still available in this mode; however, you must re-select it to use it. Left Mouse Click The Left Mouse Click button simulates the left mouse button of your personal computer mouse. To activate the left mouse button, momentarily depress the Pen tip on the Left Mouse Click button. To double click, depress the Pen tip twice on the Left Mouse Click button. Right Mouse Click The Right Mouse Click button simulates the right mouse button of your personal computer mouse. To activate the right mouse button, momentarily depress the Pen tip on the Right Mouse Click button. To double click, depress the Pen tip twice on the Right Mouse Click button. Pencil There are four (4) colored Pencils available. Touching a color button selects that colored Pencil for writing. Each Pad retains its last used color; therefore, switching between Videopad and Notepad will automatically restore the last selected Pencil color. The available colors include red, green, blue and yellow. Sound Control The Sound Control button enables and disables sound at the Projector speaker or external speakers attached to the Projector.

Page 39 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aurora S500 WritingPad Use of the WritingPad Tablet The Tablet is used for writing on the projected image, controlling the Projector, or controlling a mouse-based application. Controlling a mouse-based application requires the proper cable or adapter and compatible mouse driver software in your computer. See the discussion on the Mouse Tool in this section for more information. The surface consists of Touch Buttons and a Writing Area. The Writing Area is the area on which all writing is done and corresponds to the projected image. The Touch Buttons are an array of buttons along the side and top of the Writing Area that activate the various features of the Annotation device. A blinking Power light indicates power is present at the Tablet. A steady Power light indicates that power is present at the Tablet and the Pen is in proximity. A steady Ready light indicates the Tablet is operational. Features of the WritingPad Pen The Pen is used to write on the projected image or to select or control features of the Annotation device, the Projector, or your application program. Writing or drawing is done in the Writing Area located adjacent to the Touch Buttons. This Writing Area corresponds to the projected image. The Pen functions are selected by depressing the Pen tip on a Touch Button(s) located along the edge of the Tablet. A symbol will appear on the projected image whenev er the Pen is in proximity of the Writing Area. Proximity means the Pen tip is near the surface of the Writing Area and the Pen tip is not depressed. The symbol identifies the selected WritingPad feature. The position of the symbol is changed by mov ing the Pen within the Writing Area while in proximity. Moving the symbol on the image is v ery much like moving a mouse. The easiest way to use the Pen is to place it in proximity of the Writing Area, look at the projected image, position the symbol, and press the Pen tip to the Writing Area to perform the selected function. The Pen has three moveable sensors: a Pen tip and two barrel buttons on the side of the Pen. Depressing the Pen tip on a Touch Button selects that feature. Depressing and mov ing the Pen tip in the Writing Area causes the selected Tool to be performed in the last selected Color and Size.

If the Mouse Tool is selected, the lower barrel button is a right mouse click and the upper barrel button is a double left mouse click. If Pen Barrel Buttons are set to Custom in the Preferences Menu, the Pen barrel buttons can be programmed. The Pen Barrel Buttons are initially Off; however, the Large Eraser feature is always directly av ailable as Touch Button Tool . The Pen is operated with batteries, which should prov ide about one year of service before replacement is necessary. The batteries used are standard products that can be purchased at any store that sells calculators, cameras or watches. See the Serv ice Information section of this Owner’s Manual for more details. IMPORTANT NOTE: To conserve power, the Pen will automatically shut down if the Pen tip or barrel buttons have not been used for more than a minute. To awaken the Pen, simply press any barrel button or the Pen tip. When storing the Pen, ensure that the Pen tip and barrel buttons are not depressed in order to avoid an unnecessary drain on the batteries. If the Pen is placed in a pencil holder, be sure that the Pen tip is up. If the Pen is placed in your pocket, be sure the Pen clip is adjusted so that the Pen tip does not reach the bottom of your pocket.
