Care and Maintenance:

The surface of the ACTIVboard (Promethean) is extremely durable and made with the highest standards in mind. With normal use you can expect satisfactory results every time with proper care and maintenance.

We recommend that you:

  ·  Place a note on your ACTIVboard (Promethean) indicating that markers are not to be used on the boards.
  ·  Attach a list or include photos of equipment with each board to insure teachers return all items.
  ·  Store loose and/or extra pens, power supplies, and USB/serial cables in a safe place together. (A bag hanging on the back of the
     board with all items inside is a great idea.)
  ·  Avoid using tape to affix anything to the surface of the board.
  ·  Avoid using abrasive powders, soaps, detergents, petroleum based cleaners, or solvents on the ACTIVboard surface.
  ·  Avoid using metal brushes, scrapers or abrasive cleaning cloths.
  ·  Scratches cannot be repaired or removed and will make ink and stain removal difficult.
  ·  Test your board BEFORE using it with your students.
