You will have a dedicated Chromebox – accessible via the HDMI1 (or named Chromebox) input.
Waking up the Chromebox
If the Chromebox shows ‘No Signal’ on the input, please go to the back of the board and ensure the Chromebox is on.
Screen Controls & Usage
On the board’s homescreen below you have two fly-out toolbars on each side of the board that will appear when pressing one of the arrows (#1)
On the Android (AOSP) input you’ll have a grid icon on the bottom right to launch a few built-in apps (#2)
The built-in apps that are mainly available are Pallete and Note.
Note is a whiteboard app to write notes, add shapes, use tools like a ruler, draw, etc.
Palette is for drawing and coloring and has various pen styles like brushes, markers, pencils, etc.
Fly-out Toolbar
On the toolbar below:
Home – brings you to the build-in Android home
Recent Items – will show recent built-in applications you used such as Palette or Note
Canvas (this is no longer used, used ‘Note’ instead) – Whiteboard app for writing quick notes or drawing
On-screen Pen – This will overlay anything on your screen. It does not attach to the document and isn’t permanent, mostly for making quick notes and commentary during teaching
On-screen Magnifier – This can zoom in on your screen with different levels of magnification
Tool – This contains various on-screen tools like a spotlight to highlight something, a countdown time, a stopwatch and more.
Inputs – This is where you can switch between the Android, Chromebox, and DVD (if present) inputs on your board.

When you lift a pen a toolbar will open in the corner where the pen was for quick-access.
Palette is for drawing and coloring and has various pen styles like brushes, markers, pencils, etc.
Note is a whiteboard app to write notes, add shapes, use tools like a ruler, draw, etc.
Easimark is the same as the on-screen pen tool that you can quickly write over anything on your board

You can move the board to wherever power exists in your room. Before moving please do the following:
Shutdown the Chromebox by going to the bottom right corner (where the time is) and then clicking shutdown
Shutdown the board fully (press and HOLD) the front power button for 5 seconds, a notice will come up on the screen that it is shutting down.
Turn off the manual power switch on the board after it is off. It is located on the underside, see below.
Once moved you can turn the switch back on, turn on the board and Chromebox and proceed to normal usage.
