9. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Samsung Interactive Display.

• Touch Tracking Issues: If the display's touch tracking is inconsistent or stops when your hand rests on the screen, be aware that the board uses infrared to detect touch. Any disturbance to the IR signals can affect tracking. Try to avoid resting your hand directly on the screen while writing.
• Handwriting Appearance: If your handwriting appears distorted or like cursive, you may need to adjust your writing style or the pen settings within the software.
• Side-by-Side View Text Size: When using two applications side-by-side, the text may appear oversized with no option to adjust. This is a current limitation of the functionality.
• Application Crashes (e.g., OneDrive): If certain applications like OneDrive crash when displaying specific file types (e.g., JPGs/PNGs), try opening these files through a web browser within the display's browser app as a workaround. Ensure all apps are updated to their latest versions.
• Slow Boot-up: The display may have a slow boot-up time, even when powered on but in a resting state. This is normal operation.
• Android Compatibility with Macros: Android OS generally does not support Visual Basic macros. Excel sheets with macros may not function or display correctly on the device.
