Safety Warnings
WARNING • If the projector is mounted on the projector’s arm, the manufacturer recommends contacting
your authorized SMART reseller to exchange the lamp.
• Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on a projector’s arm might lead to
product damage or personal injury from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken.
• Remove the projector from the projector’s arm before servicing the lamp. Complete the
procedure described in this document before following the instructions included in your
replacement lamp box.
• Avoid turning off the projector during the lamp ignition phase as this may lead to premature
lamp failure. Before turning the projector off, keep the lamp on for a minimum of 15 minutes
after turning it on to preserve the lamp life.
• This projector detects its own remaining lamp life. Replace the lamp when lamp life warning
messages appears.
• When the lamp is approaching the end of its life, the message “Lamp is approaching the end
of its useful life in full power operation” appears on the screen. Contact your
authorized SMART reseller or service center to change the lamp as soon as possible.
• Refer to the safety warnings and precautions published by the projector manufacturer.
• Never replace the lamp assembly with a previously-used lamp assembly.
• To prevent premature lamp failure or exposure to mercury, always handle the fragile lamp
assembly with care. Use gloves when touching the lamp. Do not touch the lamp with
your fingers.
• Do not attempt to service the projector other than performing routine lamp replacement.
Service should be performed only by an authorized service provider. Other than the lamp
module, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.
• Replacing the lamp in a boom-mounted projector might result in a fall or injury.
• Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp replacement instructions.
• The lamp used in the UF55/UF55w projector contains mercury. Recycle or dispose of it as
hazardous waste, in accordance with local regulations.
• If you continue to use the projector after the replacement message appears, the lamp might
shatter or burst, scattering glass throughout the projector head.
• If the lamp has shattered or burst, do not touch the glass fragments because they might
cause injury. Leave and then ventilate the area where the lamp shattered or burst. Wash
your hands thoroughly if you have come into contact with lamp debris. Thoroughly clean the
area around the projector, and discard any edible items placed in that area because they
might be contaminated.
• If the lamp has shattered or burst, call an authorized SMART reseller for instructions.
Do not attempt to replace the lamp.
• Wear protective eyewear while changing the lamp. Failure to do so can cause injury or loss
of eyesight if the lamp shatters or bursts.
• Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall or injury.

WARNING • Use only replacement lamps approved by SMART Technologies. Contact your authorized
SMART reseller for replacement parts.
• Turn the projector off and wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool completely before removing
the old lamp assembly.
• Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into the beam of light created by the
projector. Instruct children not to look in the direction of, or stare at, this beam of light.
Encourage users to keep their back to the projector when working at the interactive
whiteboard. Before they turn to face the audience, users should step sideways, out of the
projector’s beam.
• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on any part of
your wall-mounted SMART Board interactive
whiteboard system.
• Do not open or disassemble the projector as this may
cause electric shock.
• Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your
SMART product are properly bundled and marked to
prevent a trip hazard.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
any component of your SMART Board interactive
whiteboard system to rain or moisture.
• When mounting the projector on a framed wall, you must
attach both the mounting bracket and safety tether to a
stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can
fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
• If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector’s arm will be free to swing.
Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit without supporting the
projector’s arm first.
• Two people are required to mount the projector and the interactive whiteboard on a wall
because they might be too heavy for one person to maneuver onto their
wall-mounting brackets.
• Climbing on the interactive whiteboard or projector arm could result in personal injury or
product damage. Do not climb on, hang from or suspend objects from the UF55/UF55w
projector’s arm.
• Make sure that an electrical socket is near to your SMART product and remains easily
accessible during use.
• Two people are required to re-mount the projector.

WARNING • Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product could result in
personal injury and damage to the product.
CAUTION • Never 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 may condense on the
lens and crucial internal parts. Allow the system to reach room temperature before operation
to prevent possible damage to the unit.
• In a high altitude location where the altitude is over 6000' (1828.8 m), where the air is thin,
cooling efficiency is reduced, so use the projector with the fan mode set to High.
• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause a
malfunction and shorten the life of the projector.
• Before you clean the UF55/UF55w projector, put the system into Idle mode by pressing the
power button twice on the ECP or remote, and allow the bulb to cool for 30 minutes.
• Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the projector base or
head. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part of the projector, as it may damage
or stain the unit.
• Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage the interactive whiteboard
system. After you turn off the system, wait at least 15 minutes for cooling before starting the
system.
• Do not connect your serial cable directly to the projector’s RS-232 serial interface. The
extended control panel’s (ECP’s) RS-232 serial interface is the only recommended
connection point.
• You 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 CAS/UL 60950. This is for operating safety and to prevent
damage to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
IMPORTANT • Using the UF55/UF55w projector system near a TV or radio may cause interference to the
images or sound. If this happens, move the TV or radio away from the projector.
• Securing the pen tray can provide theft deterrence for the interactive whiteboard.
The screws that secure the interactive whiteboard to the wall are located directly behind the
pen tray. The pen tray must be removed before you can remove the interactive whiteboard.
When you secure the pen tray, you also secure the interactive whiteboard.
• The SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system does not include speakers. Consult
your authorized SMART reseller to determine your audio output options.
• If you have peripheral devices that do not use a 4-pin mini-DIN connector or an RCA
composite video jack, or if your device has an audio connection that does not use RCA
jacks, you may need to purchase third-party adapters.
• Wipe the exterior of the projector using a lint-free cloth.

Other Precautions
To ensure operating safety and to avoid product damage, observe the following precautions.
• Turn off the product before cleaning it.
• Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent to clean the projector housing.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to clean the unit.
• Disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet if the product is not being used for a long period of time.
• Do not block the ventilation slots and openings on the unit.
• Do not place the interactive whiteboard system near any appliance that generates a strong magnetic field.
• Do not place the interactive whiteboard system in direct sunlight.
• Do not set up or use the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust, dirt, humidity
or smoke.
• Do not add extra weight or apply pressure to the UF55/UF55w projector boom, the wall-mounted interactive
whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART Technologies designed the brackets to support only the weight of the
components during normal use.
• To reduce the risk associated with a leaking battery in your projector’s remote control:
– use only a coin-cell type battery
– orient the battery’s plus (+) and minus (-) terminal according to the markings on the remote control
– do not leave the battery in the remote control for an extended period
– do not heat, disassemble, short or recharge the battery, or expose it to fire or high temperatures
– avoid eye and skin contact if the battery has a leak
– dispose of the exhausted battery and product components in accordance with applicable regulations
• If the interactive whiteboard system requires replacement parts, make sure that the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by SMART Technologies, or parts with the same characteristics as the original.
Transporting the SMART Board 600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System
If you need to ship any part of your SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system, repack it with the original
packaging. If the original packaging is no longer available, you may purchase replacement packaging from your
authorized SMART reseller.
If you prefer to use your own packaging materials, make sure that you adequately protect the unit. Ship the
interactive whiteboard in an upright position to deter shippers from placing heavy objects on it.
