CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Basic care and maintenance is required for the longevity of the MobiView and the digital pen.
Charging the MobiView
The MobiView should arrive partially charged and ready for installation. Turning Technologies recommends that MobiView and
its digital pen are both fully charged prior to use in the classroom.
1 Carefully remove the plastic tab fromthe digital pen and place the pen in the recharging pen holder.
2 Remove the Mobi receiver fromthe back of the MobiView. For convenience, store the Mobi receiver in the RF Hub
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.
TIP
You can use the MobiView while it is charging.
Changing the MobiView Battery
MobiView uses a special rechargeable lithiumbattery 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.
turningtechnologies.com/user-guides
MobiView 15
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 MobiViews
recharging pen holder when not in use.
NOTE
If the digital pen will not be used for an extended period of time (i.e., 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.
