The pen uses a lithium polymer battery that gives approximately 15 hours continuous use before needing to be recharged (a full recharge takes 1 - 2 housr). A red light glows in the end of the pen when the battery requires charging.

If some of the calibration points are obscured it is because of the screen resolution that your data projector is set to. Using your computer's control panel, (Start - Control Panel - Display settings) try other settings to see which gives the best result.

No, there are no licence fees. By purchasing a uBoard system you are entitled to use it on any computer(s) with no need to pay any licence fees.

MINT Control is the software that lets the pen work with the receiver unit. It lets you calibrate the system and gain control of your computer.

MINT Interactive is the specialist interactive whiteboard software package that you can use to write with, create lessons, share work, and engage your audience.

(Note: You will only see the two icons named above if you choose "install" when you plug ActiveLink in.)

The answer is yes, however, it is up to the user to ensure that they have the correct licence/permission to do so. If you wish to do so, plug in ActiveLink and choose "install" to load the software onto your computer. Return to your desktop and you will see two icons - MINT Control and MINT Interactive. Click on MINT Control and calibrate the pen. Click "OK" and you can now use any software that you are licenced for.

 The receiver unit should be attached to the left hand side of the projected image at least 2 cms back. It should be placed approximately in the middle.
