2-Installation

MimioTeach Installation Before you begin, be sure to have a computer connected to a projector and the projected image is displayed on a smooth, flat surface. For the purposes of these instructions, a Windows laptop computer will be used and the image will be projected onto a standard dry-erase board.

The MimioTeach interactive kit includes the MimioTeach interactive bar, MimioHub wireless receiver, stylus pen, USB A/C power adapter, USB power cord, adhesive metal plates, additional pen tips, and MimioStudio software.

After unpackaging the contents of the MimioTeach interactive kit, the first step of the installation process is to install the MimioStudio software on the computer. Follow the on-screen prompts and install using the default options.

When the MimioStudio software installation completes, you will be prompted to register the software or select the option for a limited version trial. To register the software, insert the MimioHub wireless receiver into a USB port on the computer. The MimioStudio software will register with the wireless receiver and the drivers for the wireless receiver will be installed.

The MimioTeach interactive bar has two power options. Power can be provided by inserting three AAA batteries in the battery slot on the bottom of the MimioTeach bar. Alternatively, the USB power cord can be used to supply power by connecting one end to the USB A/C adapter and the other end into the mini-USB port on the MimioTeach bar.

After selecting a power option for the MimioTeach bar, attach the bar to the dry-erase board along the left edge of the projected image. The bar attaches to the board magnetically. If the dry-erase board does not support the use of magnets, simply apply the adhesive metal plates provided in the kit to the dry-erase board and attach the bar to the metal plates.



Once the MimioTeach bar is attached to the board, push the power button on the bar to turn it on and to connect it to the wireless receiver on the computer. The light on the power button will turn solid green.

After powering on the MimioTeach bar, press the calibration button to begin the process of calibrating the interactive surface. Using the stylus pen, tap each target area on the projected image to complete the calibration process.



When the surface is successfully calibrated, the dry-erase board is ready to be used as an interactive board. The MimioStudio software provides tools to build lessons as well as tools to annotate over any projected image.
