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.

Feature Description
Touch support You can do everything on your interactive flat panel that you can
do at your computer—open and close applications, meet with
others, create new documents or edit existing ones, visit websites,
play and manipulate videos, and so on—by touching the interactive
flat panel’s surface.
You can use an array of gestures within applications, including
panning, scaling, rotating and zooming in and out.
The interactive flat panel’s support for at least four simultaneous
touches enables you and other users to interact with objects on the
screen at the same time.
Writing and drawing
support
You can write over any application in digital ink using one of the
supplied pens, and then erase the digital ink using the eraser on the
pen or your palm.
You and another writer can write or draw digital ink on the screen at
the same time. The Pen ID feature enables you to assign different
ink appearances to each pen.
Audio support Your interactive flat panel includes integrated speakers for
presenting audio from connected input sources.
