Chapter 1

Important Information for Front Projection Interactive Whiteboard OwnersBefore you use your SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard, please read and understand the safety warnings and precautions described in this section. These safety warnings and precautions instruct you in the safe and correct operation of your interactive whiteboard and its accessories so you can prevent injuries or equipment damage. You must always ensure that the interactive whiteboard is being used correctly.

In this section, the term “interactive whiteboard” refers primarily to your interactive whiteboard and its power supply accessories. Also read the safety warnings and precautions that came with your peripheral products, such as your computer and your projector.

Safety Warnings and PrecautionsWARNINGS• Do not stare into the beam of light created by the projector. Instruct children

not to look directly at this beam of light.

• Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with the interactive whiteboard could result in personal injury and damage to the product.

• Do not mount the SMART Board 660, 680, 685 or 690 interactive whiteboard on an FS570 floor stand. Using this stand could result in product damage or personal injury.

• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on a wall-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Climbing on the interactive whiteboard could result in personal injury and product damage.

2 | CHAPTER 1 – IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FRONT PROJECTION INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD OWNERS

• You must connect the USB cable that came with your interactive whiteboard to a computer that has a USB-compliant interface and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the CE mark and CSA and/or UL Mark(s) for CSA/UL 60950. This ensures operating safety and prevents damage to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the interactive whiteboard to rain or moisture.

• If you move an interactive whiteboard that is mounted on a floor stand, do so with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the interactive whiteboard to overturn. Make sure you flip up the anti-tip feet when you move the interactive whiteboard.

CAUTIONTo ensure operating safety and to avoid product damage, read the following instructions carefully.

• Read the guide that came with your projector carefully, familiarizing yourself with all the warnings and cautions.

• If you are transporting the interactive whiteboard over a distance, completely repackage it using the original packaging. If the original packaging is no longer available, pack all components with as much padding as reasonably possible to ensure that they are not exposed to excessive vibration or shock.

• Avoid setting up and using the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity and smoke.

• Avoid leaving cables on the floor. If you must run a cable over the floor, lay the cable in a flat, straight line, and secure it to the floor with tape or a cable management strip in a contrasting color. Handle cables carefully and avoid excessive bending. You can eliminate the need for a cable by purchasing a SMART Wireless USB Connection.

• If your floor stand has retractable anti-tip feet, make sure they are extended when the interactive whiteboard is in use to ensure the greatest possible stability.

• Do not add any extra weight or excessive pressure to the wall-mounted interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. The brackets are designed to support only the weight of the interactive whiteboard during normal use.

• If your SMART product requires replacement parts, make sure the service technician uses parts specified by SMART Technologies, or parts with the same characteristics as the originals.

Chapter 7

Troubleshooting

Projector Controller and Activity SensorThere is a small status light on the side of the Projector Controller and Activity Sensor.

• When you initially connect the unit to a power outlet, the status light flashes on and off quickly (at a 25 millisecond interval) for the first 0.25 seconds as it searches for a signal from a control panel button press. If the unit detects a button press, it remains in Boot mode. If it doesn’t detect a button press, the software verifies the application’s checksum and, if it is correct, the application starts.

• The status light flashes in an “On On Off Off” pattern until the unit is enumerated by the computer and the computer receives data from the unit. After the connection is established, the status light turns solid red.

• When you upgrade the SystemOn firmware, the status light flashes on and off at a rate of 0.75 seconds when no SMART software is being processed. When the Projector Controller receives SMART software commands the light flashes more quickly, indicating that the controller is receiving data.

If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment, please contact your local WEEE recycling agency.
