Step 1.

Unfold the Mimio:

Step 2.

Plug in the USB.

If you have a wireless mimio, you can skip this step.

Attach the Mimio:

Attach the mimio to your whiteboard using the mimo mounting brackets if you plan to use it for an extended amount of time.

• Snap the mounting brackets over the suction cups, making sure they clip into the recesses on the edges of the mimio.

• Carefully peel the backing from the adhesive strips.

• Mount the mimio by pressing the bar, with mounting bracket in place, in the upper lefthand corner of your whiteboard.

*Note: For short periods of time, clean the surface of the whiteboard with a cloth and use the attached suction cups.

Step 4.

Attach Your Laptop:

Plug the other end of the USB cable into your PC USB port. The capture bar should be automatically detected by the PC and the mimio software.
