Info

Cleaning the Writing Surface Before you clean the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, you should first log off. If you touch the screen when the computer is in any other state (e.g., with a program open or at the desktop), pressure applied to the screen will activate program components or scramble desktop icons. We therefore recommend that you first log off, and then put the projector into standby mode to more easily view dirt and streaks. We also recommend that you clean a frequently used interactive whiteboard approximately once a week to maintain optimal clarity. To clean the writing surface of the interactive whiteboard, use standard glass cleaner. Just spray the board with cleaning fluid and wipe with a paper towel. Remove marks made with a permanent marker by completely covering them with the ink from a dry-erase marker and wiping with a soft cloth while the ink is still wet. Dry-erase ink contains solvents that work to remove permanent ink. Do not use low-odor or non-scented dry erase markers as these markers do not contain appropriate solvents. If any trace of the original permanent ink remains, spray the area with standard glass or whiteboard cleaner and wipe clean. Preventing Damage to the Writing Surface While the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is very durable, sharp writing instruments, such as ballpoint pens or fine-pointed pens, can damage the surface if they’re applied with heavy pressure. Keep these types of pens away from the interactive whiteboard and avoid abrasive erasers and cleaning materials. General Tips for Trouble-Free Performance These tips apply to a SMART Board interactive whiteboard that is completely set up, with SMART Board software installed and running. • Make sure all the styluses and the eraser are placed securely in the Pen Tray. • Check to see that the Ready Light on the Pen Tray is illuminated green. • Ensure that the interactive whiteboard is connected to a USB or COM port that is recognized by the operating system and is not being used by another program. ii Preface
Getting Started Getting your SMART Board interactive whiteboard set up and ready to use is easy. Follow the steps below and you’ll find that as soon as you install SMART Board software on your connected computer, your interactive whiteboard becomes touch sensitive: In other words, every touch on the interactive whiteboard will be interpreted by your computer as a mouse click. Open, minimize or close applications, scroll through files, open your browser – all just by touching the board. You can also press a SMART Pen Tray button to use the SMART Keyboard or make your next contact with the interactive whiteboard a right-mouse click (Microsoft® Windows® operating systems only). To activate your Pen Tray so you can write over projected applications, just open the SMART Board tools. You can now pick up a stylus from the Pen Tray and write over any application displayed on the SMART Board surface. Your first task is to connect your computer to the interactive whiteboard. You have the option of using the provided serial cable or, if you prefer to use a USB cable, you can order a USB adapter cable from SMART Technologies Inc. that is especially designed for connecting your interactive whiteboard. To quickly find the connection procedure that meets your needs, refer to the table below. NOTE: The information provided in this section applies to the SMART Board 500 frontprojection interactive whiteboard series. If you have a Rear Projection SMART Board unit or a SMART Board for Plasma Displays model, refer to the installation manual that came with your product for complete set-up instructions. Operating System Cable Connection Page Windows Serial iii Windows USB vi Macintosh USB vii Macintosh Serial viii Windows Serial Cable Setup 1 Insert the SMART Board software CD into your CD-ROM drive. The SMART Board software setup program should start automatically. If it doesn’t, select Start > Run and enter x:\autorun.exe (where x: is your CD-ROM drive). Follow the onscreen instructions to install SMART Board software. During SMART Board software installation, you’ll be asked if you want to put the SMART Board icon in your StartUp Folder. We recommend you reply affirmatively. Then, whenever you activate your Windows operating system, SMART Board tools will always be open, and your interactive whiteboard will be fully functional without any further action. 2 Without removing the SMART Board software CD, shut off your computer. 3 Connect the short DB9 end of the supplied serial cable to the 9-pin serial port underneath the SMART Board interactive whiteboard (see the figure on the next page).
