How To Use
- Put the lanyard around your neck. Try to ensure the lanyard is not covered by hair or clothing.
- Switch on the lanyard by pressing the button. A blue light should be on.
- Ensure the correct camera view is activated (rear camera). You can do this via the touchscreen by clicking More then Switch Camera.
- Walk around the room and verify that the camera is tracking you and that the camera image is zoomed in to your preference (you can adjust this via the touchscreen by clicking More then Camera Control).
- When your class has finished, turn off the lanyard by pressing the button, please return the lanyard to the drawer and plug in the charging cable.
- Do not bend the lanyard ribbon where it joins the medallion.
- Coil the ribbon loosely. Pinching or creasing it will damage it.
