mimioMouse
Getting Started in Interactive Mode
The built-in mimioMouse feature enables mimio Xi to turn any area of your whiteboard into an
interactive touch screen (also referred to as an Interactive Whiteboard) – allowing you to control
and annotate your PC desktop (Windows) and applications (Word, PowerPoint, web browser) directly
from the whiteboard.
To activate mimioMouse, first, connect mimio Xi and a data projector to your PC; then project your
desktop onto the whiteboard. The aspect ration of your projected image will allow a desktop display up
to 4’ (1.2m) x 5’ 4” (1.6m) or approx. 80” diagonal. Maintain a gap of at least 6” between the projected
image and the mimio Xi. Next, replace the dry-erase marker in one of the stylus pens with the included
plastic mimioMouse insert.
Next, click on the mimioMouse icon located on the upper tool bar, or in
Tools – mimioMouse –
Calibrate or under Plug-Ins-mimioMouse (on the far left-hand side). You can also initiate
calibration from the mimioMouse Control Panel if activated.
The projected screen image will go white and a target point will appear in the top left-hand corner.
There are 9 points in total with the next point appearing once you have pressed the pen on the previous
target. Ensure that you hit the target (the center of the “X”) as
precisely as possible and for optimum
calibration accuracy hold the pen at a 90-degree angle to the board surface.
NOTE: Whichever Stylus Pen is used for the calibration of mimioMouse will become a “cordless
mouse”. It will no longer be “seen” by the mimio system as a writing marker. The other stylus pen can
be used to continue writing and capturing notes anywhere on the whiteboard (including the
mimioMouse projection area).
After completing the final calibration point, the PC desktop will reappear. You are now ready to use
mimioMouse. Note: If the projector or whiteboard moves during or after calibration, mimioMouse
calibration will lose accuracy. If this happens, simply restart the calibration process from any of the
menus or icons described above.
