Assembling Digital Markers
The 3M Digital WallDisplay recognizes dry-erase marker writing by signalling the marker’s exact location to the
bezel. These signals are created and transmitted by small sensors near the ends of the battery-powered marker
sleeves.
To prepare the digital markers:
1. Unscrew the end cap on the marker sleeve, turning it counterclockwise. Insert two coin batteries
(CR2032), with the positive (+) side up. Screw the end cap back on, clockwise.
2. Press the ridged release button on the side of the marker sleeve, beneath the clip, to open the marker
compartment.
3. Remove the cap from a bullet-tip dry-erase marker. Be sure the marker color matches the color ring on
the marker sleeve. Insert the marker into the eBeam sleeve. Close the marker compartment.
Note:
The eBeam Software detects the color of the marker sleeve, not the color of the marker inside it,
unless specifically changed. Normal pressure on the marker as you write on the 3M Digital
WallDisplay screen sends a “writing” signal in that sleeve’s designated color.
4. Cap the marker sleeve to keep the marker tip from drying out, just as you would with any other type of
marker. The cap also prevents sending signals when not in use.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all other marker sleeves.
Note:
The signal transmitter in the digital sleeve is located just behind the tip of the marker. Grasp the sleeve
by the main barrel so your fingers will not block the signal.
CAUTION
These batteries contain lithium. Consult your local hazardous
waste regulations and dispose of these batteries in the proper
manner.
