Usage precautions

About radio waves used by the clicker

The clicker uses radio waves on the 2.4 GHz band. When using the clicker, a radio station license is not necessary. However, please note the following precautions.

Do not use the clicker near the following:

Microwave ovens or industrial, scientific or medical equipments, such as pacemakers
In-factory radio stations for mobile unit identification systems (radio stations that require a license) used in production lines of factories.
Specified low power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license)
IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN devices

When the clicker is used near any of the equipment mentioned above, it is possible that electric wave interference could occur.

When using the clickers, keep at least 20cm distance between the clickers.

Do not cover the upper part of the clicker with your hand. The wireless connection with the wireless adapter may be degraded.

In an environment where there are many obstacles, the wireless connection with the wireless adapter may be degraded.

About wireless equipment used on the 2.4 GHz band

This frequency bandwidth is the same as for industrial, scientific, and medical equipment such as microwave ovens, mobile unit identification systems (radio stations that require a license) used in factory production lines, and specified low-power radio stations (radio stations that do not require a license).

Before using this product, check that there are no radio stations for mobile unit identification systems or specified low-power radio stations nearby.
If this product emits radio waves which interfere with in-factory radio stations for mobile unit identification systems, cease the use immediately and stop generating the radio waves. For information on countermeasures, etc. (for example, erecting partitions), contact one of our sales offices whose details are provided at the end of this manual.
If this unit emits radio waves which interfere with specified low-power radio stations used for mobile unit identification systems, or causes similar problems, contact one of our sales offices whose details are provided at the end of this manual.

Usage environment / Storage

The clicker is designed for inside use. Outside use is not recommended. Do not place the clicker in any humid, dusty, salt bearing wind, or vibrating locations. Use the clicker product under the following environmental conditions:

Temperature: 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F)
Humidity: 30% - 90% (No condensation)

When storing the product, do not leave it under direct sunlight or by heaters. It may be discolored, deformed, or damaged.

Maintenance

Perform cleaning of the clicker in a dry place. Make sure to remove the batteries before cleaning.

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. To remove heavy dirt, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent and wipe the dirt after wringing the cloth. Do not use any volatile solvent such as thinner or benzene.

Before Use

Thank you very much for purchasing Student Response System CRV-24/32 (SRS). Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use of SRS.

For the effective use of the questions and the collected data, please have your students always use the same clicker by associating each of your students with the unique serial number printed on the back of their clickers. We recommend you to register the students to use SRS in advance.

Note: All functions of SRS are controlled by Elmo's Image Mate Accent for SRS. Image Mate Accent for SRS is designed to allow you to operate SRS functions in addition to the Pen Tablet functions, which are the basic features of Image Mate Accent (IMA). For details about the operations of the Pen Tablet, refer to the User's Guide of ELMO Wireless Slate / Tablet. Functions of Image Mate Accent can also be used when a mouse is used instead of the Pen Tablet. For details about the operation using a mouse, refer to About Image Mate Accent.

Caution

When you use SRS with Elmo Pen Tablet CRA-1, the wireless settings between the wireless adapter of SRS and the tablet need to be set up. For details about the set up procedure, refer to the User's Guide of ELMO Wireless Slate/ Tablet. Do not use the wireless adapter supplied with the Pen Tablet. Use the wireless adapter supplied with SRS.

Firmware of the tablet may need to be upgraded. For further information, contact the dealer from whom you have purchased this product or one of our sales offices whose details are provided at the end of this manual.

Please note that screens and figures used in this manual may differ from the actual Caution views.

Main functions

Pose questions, collect responses and display the results. With SRS, you can collect responses from all students in the class by using clickers. Collected responses can be saved and displayed in graphs. The overall proficiency of the class can be assessed with multiple-choice questions. Majority Testing by Yes or No question can be easily performed.

Utilize the collected data: The collected data is automatically stored on the users computer and can be converted to standard formats. These standard files can be shared with other computers.
Manage the clicker: You can add/ delete a clicker or display the battery level.
Use with the Document Camera or the Pen Tablet: You can pose a question on the spot by using ELMO Document Camera or Pen Tablet (sold separately).
