Turning Technologies recommends that MobiView and its digital pen are both fully charged prior to use in the classroom. TIP You can use the MobiView while it is charging. 1 Carefully remove the plastic tab from the digital pen and place the pen in the recharging pen holder. 2 Remove the MultiHub from the back of the MobiView. For convenience, store the MultiHub in the holder on the charging stand. 3 Place the MobiView on the charging stand. 4 Plug the USB cable into the power adapter and plug into the wall outlet. Allow approximately eight (8) hours to fully charge the battery. Alternatively, the MobiView can be charged by connecting the device to a computer via USB cable. Allow approximately 12 hours to fully charge the battery if using this method. Changing the MobiView Battery MobiView uses a special rechargeable lithium battery that typically lasts two to three years with normal use. Fully charge and discharge the unit to maintain optimal battery life. 1 Turn over the MobiView. 2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment. 3 Remove the existing battery pack. 4 Plug in the new battery connector to the battery compartment. 5 Gently insert the new battery pack into the compartment. WARNING Before replacing the cover, hold down the battery connector wires to avoid pinching the wires. 6 Replace the battery cover and allow the MobiView to charge for 8 to 12 hours. Cleaning the MobiView The MobiView can be cleaned with a soft cloth and gentle cleanser safe for lenses or LCD screens. Changing the Digital Pen Battery The digital pen uses a special rechargeable AAAA battery that typically lasts over a year with normal use. The digital pen will go into sleep mode after two minutes of inactivity to conserve power. Store the digital pen in the MobiView’s recharging pen holder when not in use. turningtechnologies.com/user-guides MobiView 18 NOTE If the digital pen will not be used for an extended period of time (e.g., summer vacation), remove the battery. 1 Depress the small tab and slide the two sections of the digital pen apart. 2 Insert the new battery with the positive (+) terminal facing towards the tip of the digital pen. 3 Depress the pen tip. The pen LED will flash four times if the battery was correctly inserted. 4 Align the ridges within the rear to the slots in the front section. 5 Slide the two sections together until the tab re-engages. 6 Charge the digital pen for 8 to 12 hours. IMPORTANT It typically takes three charge and discharge cycles for the rechargeable batteries to gain their full power storage capacity. This is especially important for initial use, or anytime the digital pen battery is replaced. turningtechnologies.com/user-guides MobiView 19 Contact Us For additional help, contact Turning Technologies Technical Support.
