Important information
WARNING
lFailure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product could result in
personal injury and product damage which may not be covered by your warranty.
lDo not open or disassemble the SMART product. You risk electrical shock from the high
voltage inside the casing. Opening the casing also voids your warranty.
lDo not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of your SMART
product. Rather, mount the product at the appropriate height.
lTo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SMART product to rain or
moisture.
lIf your SMART product requires replacement parts, make sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by SMARTTechnologies or parts with the same characteristics
as the original.
lEnsure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART product are properly
bundled and marked to avoid a trip hazard.
lDo not insert objects inside the cabinet ventilation holes, because they could touch
dangerous voltage points and cause electric shock, fire or product damage which may not
be covered by your warranty.
lDo not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Damage to the cable could cause
shock, fire or product damage which may not be covered by your warranty.
lUseonly extension cords and outlets into which this product’s polarized plug can be fully
inserted.
lUse the power cable provided with this product. If a power cable is not supplied with this
product, please contact your supplier. Use only power cables that match the AC voltage of
the power outlet and that comply with your country’s safety standards.
lIf the glass is broken, do not touch the liquid crystal. To prevent injury, handle glass
fragments with care when disposing of them.
lDo not move or mount the interactive flat panel by connecting rope or wire to its handles.
Because the interactive flat panel is heavy, rope, wire or handle failure could lead to
personal injury.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ii smarttech.com/kb/170642
lUse only VESA®-approved mounting hardware.
lDisconnect all power cables for your interactive flat panel from the wall outlet and seek
assistance from qualified service personnel when any of the following occurs:
oThe power cable or plug is damaged
oLiquid is spilled into the interactive flat panel
oObjects fall into the interactive flat panel
oThe interactive flat panel is dropped
oStructural damage such as cracking occurs
oThe interactive flat panel behaves unexpectedly when you follow operating
instructions
CAUTION
lBefore you clean your SMART product, shut down or disconnect the computer. Otherwise,
you may scramble the desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe
the screen.
lAvoid setting up and using the SMART product in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity and smoke.
lMake sure an electrical socket is near your SMART product and remains easily accessible
during use.
lThe external power supply needs to meet the Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements of
CSA/UL/IEC/EN 60950-1, when required.
lThis SMART product should be used only with European TN and TT power distribution
systems.
It is not suitable for older, IT-type power distribution systems found in some European
countries. “This system (IT-type) is widely used isolated from earth, in some installations in
France, with impedance to earth, at 230/400V, and in Norway, with voltage limiter, neutral
not distributed, at 230V line-to-line.” (IEC 60950:1999)
Contact qualified personnel if you’re uncertain of the type of power system available where
you’re installing your SMART product.
lYou must connect the USB cable that came with your interactive flat panel 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
interactive flat panel.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Chapter 2: Mounting your interactive flatpanel
Before mounting your interactive flat panel 9
Choosing a location 10
Choosing a height 11
To mount your interactive flat panel on a wall, you require a team of professional installers.
This chapter is intended for installers. Installers should read this chapter along with the installation
instructions included with the interactive flat panel before they mount the interactive flat panel.
WARNING
Improper mounting of your interactive flat panel can result in personal injury and product
damage.
Before mounting your interactive flat panel
Do the following before mounting your interactive flat panel:
lReview the environmental requirements in the interactive flat panel’s specifications (see
Resources for decision makers on page7).
lSave all product packaging so that it’s available if you need to transport the interactive flat
panel. If the original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase new product packaging from
your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).
lRefer to local building codes to ensure the wall can support the weight of the interactive flat
panel specified in the following table and mounting equipment.
Model Weight
SPNL-6055 104 lb. (47.4 kg)
SPNL-6065 135 lb. 6 oz. (61.4 kg)
lUse a standard VESA 400 mm × 400 mm mounting plate (not included) to mount the
interactive flat panel on a wall.

CHAPTER 2
MOUNTING YOUR INTERACTIVE FLATPANEL
10 smarttech.com/kb/170642
lUse M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket.
Screw length 20 mm + x mm < M8 < 45 mm + xmm
where x is the total thickness of the wall bracket and washer
Fasten force 97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the screws.
NOTE
SMART recommends M8 × 30 mm mounting screws for standard installations where the
total wall mount bracket and washer thickness is less than 7 mm.
lBecause the receptacles might not be easily accessible after the installers mount the
interactive flat panel, consider connecting cables for power, computers and other devices
while the interactive flat panel is still in its packaging (see Connecting power and devices on
page13).
lBefore turning on the interactive flat panel for the first time, clean the camera windows and
reflective tape following the instructions in Cleaning the camera windows and reflective tape
on page26.
Choosing a location
Do the following when choosing a location for the interactive flat panel:
lDo not install the interactive flat panel in a location where a door or gate could hit it.
lDo not install the interactive flat panel in an area where it will be subjected to strong vibrations
or dust.
lChoose a location that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows and strong overhead
lighting. IR lighting can cause issues with the performance of the cameras and can lead to
unintentional or missed touches.
lDo not install the interactive flat panel near where the main power supply enters the building.
lEnsure adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around the interactive flat panel so
that heat can flow away from the unit and the mounting equipment.
lIf you mount the interactive flat panel in a recessed area, leave at least 4" (10 cm) of space
between the interactive flat panel and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and cooling.

Choosing a height
Consider the general height of the user community
when you choose the height for the interactive flat
panel.
