Important information
Before you install and use your SMARTBoard®480i6 interactive whiteboard system, read and
understand the safety warnings and precautions in this user’s guide and the included warnings
document. These safety warnings and precautions describe the safe and correct operation of your
interactive whiteboard system and its accessories, helping you to prevent injuries and equipment
damage. Ensure that your interactive whiteboard system is always being used correctly.
In this document, “interactive whiteboard system” refers to the following:
lSMARTBoard 480 interactive whiteboard
lSMARTUF70 projector
lAccessories and optional equipment
The projector included with your system is designed to work only with certain SMARTBoard
interactive whiteboard models. Contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where) for
more information.
Safety warnings, cautions and important
information
Installation
WARNING
lFailure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product could result in
personal injury and damage to the product.
lTo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SMART product to rain or
moisture.

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
ii smarttech.com/kb/170584
lTwo people are required to mount your SMART product because it may be too heavy for one
person to safely maneuver.
When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your assistant should stand on either side
of the screen, supporting its weight at the bottom while balancing the top with your other
hands.
lWhen mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach the mounting bracket to
a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can
fail, resulting in possible personal injury, and damage to the product which may not be covered
by your warranty.
lDo not leave cables on the floor where they can be a tripping hazard. 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 a contrasting color. Handle cables carefully and avoid excessive
bending.
C A U T I O N
lDo not operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture can condense on the lens
and crucial internal parts. Allow the system to stabilize to room temperature before operation
to prevent possible damage to the unit.
lDo not place the unit in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause a
malfunction and shorten the life of the projector.
lAvoid setting up and using the SMART product in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity and smoke.
lDo not place your SMART product in direct sunlight or near any appliance that generates a
strong magnetic field.
lIf you need to lean the interactive whiteboard against a wall before you mount it, make sure it
remains in an upright position.
Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of the frame.

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
iii smarttech.com/kb/170584
lYou must connect the USB cable that came with your SMARTBoard 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 is for operating safety and to avoid damage to
the SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard.
I M P O R T A N T
lThe SMARTBoard 480i6 interactive whiteboard system textless installation guide is also
available online (smarttech.com/kb/170553).
lMake sure an electrical socket is near your SMART product and remains easily accessible
during use.
lUsing your SMART product near a TV or radio could cause interference to the images or
sound. If this happens, move the TV or radio away from the projector.
Operation
WARNING
lDo not climb (or allow children to climb) on a wall- or stand-mounted SMARTBoard interactive
whiteboard.
Do not climb on, hang from or suspend objects from the projector boom.
Climbing on the interactive whiteboard or projector boom could result in personal injury
or product damage.
C A U T I O N
lDo not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.
I M P O R T A N T
lKeep your remote control in a safe place because there is no other way to access menu
options.
lDisconnect the product from its power source when it’s not used for a long period.
Other precautions
If you own a SMARTproduct other than a SMARTBoard 480i6 series interactive whiteboard system,
refer to the installation manual for your product for relevant warnings and maintenance instructions.

Installing SMART software 7
Consult the SMARTBoard 480i6 interactive whiteboard system installation document included with
your product for instructions on how to install and secure your system.
I M P O R T A N T
Use the SMARTBoard 480i5 interactive whiteboard system installation guide
(smarttech.com/kb/156695) to install your interactive whiteboard and projector.
This chapter provides additional considerations and details for installing your interactive whiteboard
system.
Choosing a location
Choose a location for your interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources, such as
windows and strong overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on your
interactive whiteboard and can reduce the contrast of the projected image.
Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your interactive
whiteboard system. Install the projector and your interactive whiteboard on the same flat surface. For
best presentation alignment, mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location that’s central to
your audience’s viewing direction.
For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller.

C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
6 smarttech.com/kb/170584
Choosing a height
SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorized SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do the
following:
lMount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining enough space
for airflow and installation access above the unit.
lPosition the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the
projected image with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average
height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a location
for your interactive whiteboard.
Securing the projector to the boom
To learn how to secure the SMARTUF70 projector to the boom, see the included SMARTBoard
480i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/156695).
Routing the cables
When connecting cables from a SMARTUF70 projector to your computer, make sure that all cables
pass along the top of the interactive whiteboard wall-mounting bracket and then down the side of the
interactive whiteboard.
I M P O R T A N T
If the cables overlap each other behind the interactive whiteboard, they could interfere with the way
the interactive whiteboard rests against the wall. Before you mount the interactive whiteboard, it is
recommended that you use cable-management straps to appropriately position the cables on the
wall.

C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
7 smarttech.com/kb/170584
I M P O R T A N T
Do not connect the power cable to a power outlet until you have connected all the cables to the
projector.
Installing SMART software
You must install SMARTsoftware, such as SMARTMeetingPro™ software or SMARTNotebook™
collaborative learning software on the computer connected to your interactive whiteboard system to
access all of its features.
Download SMARTsoftware from smarttech.com/software. These web pages list the minimum
hardware requirements for each software version. If SMART software is already installed on your
computer, take this opportunity to upgrade your software to ensure compatibility.
C A U T I O N
Install the version of SMARTProductDrivers that shipped with your interactive whiteboard
system, or download a newer version if available. If you use an older version of the software, your
interactive whiteboard system might not function.
