How to Calibrate a HKMLC Smart Board: A Step-by-Step Guide

Calibration is especially critical when you've just set up your new HKMLC smart board and want the best user experience possible. By calibrating your touch on a smart board, it reflects on the screen. This guide will show you how to calibrate a smart board, find solutions to problems, and get the most from your smartboard experience.

What Is Smart Board Calibration?

Smart board calibration basically adjusts the sensitivity and alignment of the smart board with the touch of your device. Calibration is helpful to make sure the actions you take on the board (taps, swipes) correspond accurately with your screen.

If you did not calibrate it correctly, you can run into the problem of it not responding when touched, which makes it very difficult to interact with your presentations or lessons.

Steps for Calibrating a Smart Board

Step 1 — Navigate to Systems Calibration Settings

1. Head to your settings menu on the device connected to your smart board.
2. Go to touch settings or a touch calibration area. This will most likely be indicated under the software options for your board, like SMART notebook or another app the device supports.

Step 2 — Perform the Touch Calibration

When reaching the calibration settings, the screen will most of the time ask you to press the points on the board. If you have multiple targets, you may need to hit each more than once to achieve perfect alignment.

It is an important part of making sure your smart board calibration is correct, so be sure this step is followed carefully.

Step 3 — Configure Save & Test

When the calibration is complete, be sure to save the settings and run a test.

• Use a stylus or your finger to touch the board and see if the calibration worked.
• Your touch should give you the right responses.

If the touch responses do not match, repeat the calibration until the touch response matches the previous step correctly.

How to Calibrate Your Smart Board?

You should also routinely calibrate your smart board if:

• The board has to be moved or manipulated frequently.
• You notice touch input is practically gibberish or unresponsive.
• When you install new software or update your system.

By knowing how to calibrate a smartboard and when you need to calibrate one, you can keep such things accurate over time and make sure your presentations, meetings, or lessons run smoothly.
