Safety warnings and cautions
WARNINGS
• Failure to follow the installation instructions included with your interactive
whiteboard, or found in this guide, could result in personal injury or product
damage.
• Two people are required to safely mount your interactive whiteboard on a wall
mount because it could 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 corners while
balancing the top with your other hands.
• Do 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.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your SMART Board
interactive whiteboard to rain or moisture.
• There 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.

ii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
• If you need to lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall before you
mount it, make sure that it remains in an upright position, resting on its pen
tray brackets, which are designed to sustain your interactive whiteboard’s
weight.
• Do not rest your interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of its frame.
• Do not add any extra weight or excessive pressure to a wall-mounted
interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART designed the brackets
to support only the weight of your interactive whiteboard during normal use.
• For operating safety and to avoid damage to your interactive whiteboard,
connect its USB connector only 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.
Other precautions
To ensure operating safety and to prevent product damage, observe the following
precautions.
• Don’t set up or use your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of
dust, humidity or smoke.
• If your SMART Board interactive whiteboard 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.
• Be aware that security cable locks aren’t designed to be a solid protection
measure because the lock can be torn out. However, potential thieves might be
reluctant to try to sell a product with a broken security cable lock hole, which
would readily identify it as a stolen item.
