Can I play videos or presentations on TOMi8?
Yes, you can open video files or presentations stored on TOMi’s memory, a USB drive, or through compatible apps.

Do I need to calibrate every time I use it?
Yes, calibration must be done each time you turn on TOMi8 or move it to a different location. The process is automatic, but it’s important not to move the device once it’s calibrated, since repositioning affects accuracy.

Why isn’t the optical pen working?
There may be several reasons:
        First, check that TOMi8 is properly calibrated and hasn’t been moved afterward.
        If calibration is correct, the issue may be low batteries. Replace them with new ones and ensure they’re placed correctly.
