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.

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

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.
Chapter 2
7

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 position
for your interactive whiteboard.
Routing the cables
When connecting cables from the SMARTUX60 projector to your interactive whiteboard, make sure
that all cables pass between the two interactive whiteboard wall-mounting brackets. Make sure the
cables don’t rest on the wall-mounting brackets.
Installing SMART software
You must install SMARTsoftware on the computer connected to your interactive whiteboard system
to access all of its features.
Download SMARTsoftware from smarttech.com/software. These 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.
