Important information
Before you install and use your SMARTBoard®600ix 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 600 series interactive whiteboard
lSMARTUX60 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
W W A R N I N G
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

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 both the mounting
bracket and the safety tether 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 C A U T I ON
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, resting on the pen tray brackets, which can sustain the weight
of the interactive whiteboard.
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
ii

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 I M P O R T A N T
lUse the SMARTBoard 685ix and D685ix interactive whiteboard systems installation
instructions (smarttech.com/kb/137394) to install your interactive whiteboard, projector and
ECP.
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
W W A R N I N G
lIf you are using an audio system, use only the power supply included with that product.
Using the wrong power supply might create a safety hazard or damage the equipment. If in
doubt, refer to the specification sheet for your product to verify the power supply type.
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 C A U T I ON
lDo not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.
lAvoid putting the projector into Standby mode during the lamp ignition phase because this
can lead to premature lamp failure. Keep the projector lamp on for a minimum of 45 minutes
before putting it into Standby mode to preserve the lamp life.
I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
iii

lIn a high altitude location over 6000' (1800 m), where the air is thin and cooling efficiency is
reduced, use the projector with the fan mode set to High.
lCycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage your SMART product. After
you put the product into Standby mode, wait at least 45 minutes for cooling before starting
the product again.
lIf dust or small items prevent pen tray buttons from being pressed or cause constant button
contact, remove the obstructions carefully.
I I M P O R T A N T
lIf you have peripheral devices that do not use a 4-pin mini-DIN S-video connector, an RCA
Composite video jack or an HDMI video connector, or if your device has an audio connection
that does not use RCA jacks, you may need to purchase third-party adapters.
lThere are no projector menu options on the ECP. Keep your remote control in a safe place
because the ECP is not a substitute for the remote control.
lDo not disconnect cables from the ECP to connect peripheral devices because you could
disconnect controls for your interactive whiteboard.
lDisconnect the product from its power source when it’s not used for a long period.
Cleaning
C C A U T I ON
lBefore you clean the projector, press the Power button twice on the ECP or remote
control to put the system in Standby mode, and then allow the lamp to cool for at least 30
minutes.
lDo not spray cleaners, solvents or compressed air near any part of the projector because
they can damage or stain the unit. Spraying the system could spread a chemical mist on
some of the projector’s components and lamp, resulting in damage and poor image quality.
lDo not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the projector.
I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
iv

I I M P O R T A N T
lPut your SMART product into Standby mode before cleaning it.
lFollow these guidelines to clean the projector:
oWipe the exterior of the projector with a lint-free cloth.
oIf necessary, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent to clean the projector
housing.
oDo not use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents.
oAvoid touching the lens. If it is necessary to clean the lens:
oUse liquids or commercial solvents (such as glass cleaners) to clean the lens,
but do not spray them directly on the system.
oUse protective gloves and dip a lint-free cloth (such as Purestat PW2004) in an
anti-static solvent (such as Hyperclean EE-6310).
oGently wipe the lens from the center to the edge. Do not apply any pressure to
the lens.
Service
W W A R N I N G
lThere are no user-serviceable parts inside the pen tray. Only qualified personnel should
disassemble the pen tray’s printed circuit boards, and this procedure must be done with
proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
C C A U T I ON
lDo not adjust any settings in the service menu other than those listed in the following
procedures. Changing other settings might damage or affect the operation of your projector
and may invalidate your warranty.
lWhen transporting your SMART product, repack it with as much of the original packaging as
possible. This packaging was designed with optimal shock and vibration protection.
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.
