Important Information iii
Other Precautions
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the cabinet and its parts, please read the
following information carefully.
• Move the unit with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and movement over uneven
surfaces can overturn the unit.
• When you transport the 3000i, only ship it in an upright position and never lay the
interactive whiteboard face down. In addition, ensure that the projector is secure, or
remove and repackage it in the original projector’s packaging.
CAUTION The projector inside the 3000i has been designed for use under normal
operating conditions only. Normal operating conditions are defined as product
use that does not exceed 8 hours per day and 260 days per year. Exceeding
these operating conditions could cause projector damage. Damage caused by
such extended use will not be covered by the product warranty.
To maintain normal operating conditions, make sure the projector is in standby
mode outside of normal, daily (8 hour) operation. In standby mode, the lamp is
turned off, while the projector remains on. Be sure to press the Lamp Off
button in the Control Panel at the end of the day, and your projector will remain
in standby mode until you press the Lamp On button the next day.
NOTE: You can also configure the computer’s power management settings so
that after a period of idle time it stops sending out a video signal, turning off the
projector lamp (page 24).

iv Important Information
• If you transport the 3000i over a distance, we strongly urge you to completely
repackage it using the original packaging. This packaging was designed with optimal
shock and vibration protection. 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.
• Clean the interactive whiteboard surface regularly so dust doesn’t build up on the
surface and adversely affect the operation of the 3000i.
•Do not touch the rear surface of the screen or apply isopropyl alcohol, water or
acetone. If any of these fluids come into contact with this surface, the diffusion coating
will be damaged, resulting in a permanent deterioration in display quality.
• If you inadvertently smudge the rear surface of the screen, dab it carefully with a soft
cloth and alcohol-free glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the back of
the screen; spray it lightly on the cloth and then gently dab the rear surface until the
marks are removed.
• The 3000i uses digital cameras located inside the screen frame. Do not allow excess
glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the frame and the writing surface
because the cleaner could damage these cameras.
• Avoid setting up and using the 3000i in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity
or smoke.
• Lock the casters after you set up the cabinet so it remains stationary while in use.
• Avoid exposing the 3000i to extreme heat or cold. The operating temperature range is
from 41°F to 85°F (5°C to 29°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing). The
shipping and storage range is from -4°F to 95°F (-20°C to 35°C) with up to 80%
humidity (non-condensing).
• If possible, unplug the unit before thunderstorms. However, do not touch the unit or
the unit's power plug during a thunderstorm as there is a risk of electrical shock.
• Unplug the unit if you won’t use it for an extended period.
• Use safe practices when you’re plugging in the power cable. For example, make sure
your hands are dry and don’t insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Unplug the cabinet
before you install or service any components.
• This product has a three-wire grounding-type plug, which will only fit into an AC
grounding-type power outlet. Make sure an AC outlet is near the 3000i and remains
easily accessible during use. If the outlet can’t accommodate the plug, have your
electrician replace the obsolete outlet. Do not circumvent the safety features of the
grounding-type plug. Do not modify the power cord.
• Handle the power cord carefully and avoid excessive bending. Route the power cord
so it’s unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it. If you
must run a cable over the floor, lay it in a flat, straight line and secure it to the floor with
tape or a cable management strip of contrasting color.
• If you require replacement parts, ensure the service technician uses the replacement
parts specified by SMART Technologies Inc. or parts with the same characteristics as
the original.

About the 3000i 1
About the 3000i
The 3000i is a slim Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard cabinet with an
integrated LCD projector and a 66" (167.6 cm) diagonal interactive SMART Super Screen.
The Super Screen is an interactive whiteboard designed for enhanced rear-projection clarity.
The interactive whiteboard includes DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology, which uses
digital cameras to track objects that interact with the interactive whiteboard. Each camera is
calibrated to recognize the position of a pen tray tool or your finger on the whiteboard surface
and to translate that position to a computer point.
To enable rear-projection capability, a mirror system in the cabinet redirects the projected
image from your computer, VCR, DVD player or guest laptop onto the back of the interactive
whiteboard screen. Without the distracting shadows of a front-projection system, you can then
perform any normal computer operation, such as opening or closing an application, scrolling
through a file or opening your browser, just by touching the screen surface.
3000i Features
• A touch-sensitive interactive whiteboard that enables you to do everything you can do
at a computer workstation—open files, conference with others, create new or edit
existing documents, visit Internet sites, play video clips, and so on—simply by
touching the interactive whiteboard. You can also write over any live application in
digital ink using a pen tray pen or your finger, and then save your notes to a SMART
Notebook™ file for future reference and distribution.
• An integrated XGA projection system
• An audio system, a SMART pen tray (including four pens and an eraser) and a
wireless keyboard
• A Control Panel with easily accessible projector and volume controls
• A Connection Panel at the rear of the cabinet that you can use easily to connect a
network cable, printer, second projector and room audio system
• Locking front doors for enhanced security
• Minimal floor space requirements. Fits easily through any standard doorway for true
room-to-room mobility.

Pen Tray Features
To write on top of the computer image with digital ink, just pick up a pen from the pen tray and
write on the interactive whiteboard.
You can use SMART Board software to change any of these pens to highlighters, change their
colors or alter their width. You can also change the size of the area erased by the pen tray
eraser.
To reconfigure the pens or eraser, press the SMART Board icon in the system tray (Windows
computers) or in the Dock (Macintosh computers), select Control Panel, and press on Pen
Tray Settings.
NOTE: The pens provided with your 3000i have black tips because the digital cameras in the
bezel can more readily detect dark objects. If you need to use a different object to point at the
screen, choose one that has a dark tip but which won’t mark or damage the interactive screen.
Press the top pen tray button to make the SMART Keyboard appear for on-screen typing and
handwriting recognition. Press the bottom button to make the next contact with the interactive
whiteboard a right-mouse click.
You can reconfigure these default behaviors so that either button can initiate any of the
following events:
• Print the current page
• Move to the preceding or the following Notebook file page
• Clear all notes from the current page
• Produce a floating mouse
To reconfigure the pen tray buttons, press the SMART Board icon in the system tray
(Windows computers) or in the Dock (Macintosh computers), select Control Panel, and press
on Pen Tray Settings.

4About the 3000i
The NEC VT670 Projector
The NEC projector featured in the 3000i rear projection cabinet is an NEC VT670. The VT670
projector has XGA resolution (1024 × 768).
The NEC VT670 projector is secured on the projector platform. The projector is adapted for
use in the 3000i and, consequently, its behavior differs in two significant ways from the
description in the NEC VT470/570/670 User’s Manual:
• The Zoom lever does not change the size of the projected image. Instead, it adjusts
image focus.
• The white ring no longer adjusts focus and you should not move it under any
circumstances.
Bottom View
Side View
NOTE: For more information on adjusting the projected image, turn to page 21.
CAUTION Do not move the white ring that surrounds the short-throw, customized
projector lenses, even though the NEC VT470/570/670 User’s Manual states
that you should use this ring to obtain the best focus. You must disregard this
information.
Instead, use the Zoom lever on the projector, which has been modified to
adjust the image focus. Again, contrary to the NEC VT470/570/670 User’s
Manual, the Zoom lever will not adjust the image size on the screen.
