The best thing about the wireless uBoard is that it is super portable and takes almost no space when in action. However, like all wireless devices from ipads to laptops, it has to be charged to work.
The uBoard manufacturers have been pretty smart in the way they have set this up.
Firstly the pen: it plugs into any live usb port or usb charger and takes approximately an hour to fully charge. This is very good when you realise that it will then run for up to 8 hours continuously before needing a top up. Eight hours continuous use translates to several days of steady use!
While charging, the end of the pen glows red until it is completely full - very handy.
The receiver unit: this is the part that sticks to your whiteboard. It also charges through a live usb port. A full charge takes approximately 1.5 hours and will give up to 10 hours continuous use. You will need to recharge about once per week in normal useage. While charging, a small red light shows on the bottom of the case. When in use, if the charge level gets below 20% a small blue light starts to flash quickly indicating that you need to recharge.
