Important Information i
Important Information
NOTE: If you own a SMART product other than a SMART Board™ 600 series interactive
whiteboard, refer to the installation manual that came with your product for relevant warnings and
maintenance instructions. In this document, the term “interactive whiteboard” refers to the
interactive whiteboard and its accessories and options.
Safety Warnings
WARNING Failure to follow the installation instructions that ship with the interactive
whiteboard, or found in this guide, could result in personal injury or damage to the
product.
WARNING Refer to the safety warnings and precautions published by the projector
manufacturer. Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into the projector’s
beam of light.
WARNING
Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART Board product
are properly bundled and marked to avoid a trip hazard.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SMART Board
interactive whiteboard to rain or moisture.
WARNING
Two people are required to mount the interactive whiteboard on a wall because the
it may be too heavy for one person to maneuver onto the wall-mounting bracket.
WARNING Do not mount the SMART Board 660 or 680 interactive whiteboard on an FS570
floor stand. Using this older stand could result in product damage or personal
injury. Use the FS670 floor stand for these products instead.
Do not mount a SMART Board 690 interactive whiteboard on a floor stand.
WARNING Move a floor stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard with care. Quick
stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product to overturn.
Before moving a floor stand, make sure the anti-tip feet are retracted or locked in
the up position.
WARNING Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of your
SMART Board product. Rather, wall-mount the product at the appropriate height or
use a SMART height-adjustable floor stand.

ii Important Information
Other Precautions
To ensure operating safety and to avoid product damage, observe the following precautions.
• Avoid setting up and using the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity and smoke.
• Don’t 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 the interactive
whiteboard during normal use.
Transporting the Interactive Whiteboard
If you need to ship your interactive whiteboard, we urge you to repack it with as much of the
original packaging as possible. If your original packaging is no longer available, you may purchase
the same packaging directly from SMART Technical Support (see page 43 for contact information).
If you prefer to use your own packaging materials, make sure you adequately protect the
interactive whiteboard. We also recommend that you ship the unit in an upright position to deter
shippers from placing heavy objects on it.
If you ship your interactive whiteboard frequently, consider purchasing a more durable, hard
shipping case from SMART Technologies. With its foam-lined interior, aluminum edges and
valances, and steel-reinforced corners, this shipping case protects both your SMART Board
interactive whiteboard and, if you have one, a table stand. The case has dual tilt wheels for ease of
transport. If you own a SMART Board 640 interactive whiteboard, you may prefer a specially
designed carrying bag. For any of these items, contact you local SMART reseller from whom you
purchased your interactive whiteboard.
WARNING Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on a wall- or stand-
mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
If the interactive whiteboard is used in a 600i system, do
not climb on, hang from, or suspend objects from the Unifi
35 projector boom.
Climbing on the interactive whiteboard or projector boom
could result in personal injury or product damage.
IMPORTANT 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 avoid damage to the SMART Board interactive
whiteboard.
IMPORTANT If your SMART Board interactive whiteboard requires replacement parts, make
sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by SMART
Technologies Inc. or parts with the same characteristics as the original.

About 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards 1
About 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards
The SMART Board™ 600 Series product is a touch sensitive, front projection interactive
whiteboard that enables you to do everything you can do at a computer workstation—open files,
conference with others, work on documents, visit websites, play video clips and more—simply by
touching the screen. You can also write over any application in digital ink using a pen tray pen or
your finger, and then save these notes to a Notebook™ file for future reference and distribution.
Features
The 600 series interactive whiteboards include many
features of previous SMART Board interactive
whiteboards, such as analog resistive touch screens
and pen trays. Although the basic operation is the
same, SMART has made many improvements to
make the 600 series look more up-to-date, and
easier to use, service and install. Three models are
available: the 640, 660, 680 and 690, which are 48",
64", 77" and 94" respectively, measured diagonally.
Feature Highlights
• Touch system Write, erase and perform mouse functions with your finger, a pen
tray pen or the eraser.
• SMART Pen Tray Pick up a pen tray pen or the eraser, and the pen tray automatically
detects which tool you’ve selected. Buttons activate the on-screen
keyboard, right-click and help functions.

2About 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards
How Does a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Work?
It may help you to think of the interactive whiteboard as an input device for the computer, just like a
mouse.
When you touch the interactive whiteboard's surface, the interactive whiteboard detects the
contact’s vertical and horizontal (or x,y) coordinates. The computer’s mouse driver interprets these
coordinates and moves the pointer to the corresponding point on the computer’s screen.
• When all the pens and the eraser are in their pen tray recesses, SMART Board software
interprets your touch as mouse clicks and movements.
• When you remove a pen or the eraser from the pen tray, sensors detect which tool you are
using. The SMART Board software then interacts with the computer's mouse driver to change
the pointer into a colored pen or eraser, allowing you to create or remove colored pen strokes
from the computer’s display.
Projected Mode
Using the SMART Board interactive
whiteboard in Projected, or Mouse mode,
requires two additional components: a
computer and a digital projector.
These components work together as follows:
• The computer runs an application, and
then sends the image to the projector.
• The projector casts the image onto the
interactive whiteboard.
• The interactive whiteboard acts as both
the monitor and the input devices
(mouse and keyboard), allowing you to
control any application simply by
touching the screen.
When you run SMART Board software in Projected mode, the touch of your finger on the screen
becomes a mouse click, allowing you to run the computer right from the interactive whiteboard’s
surface. You can also use a pen tray pen to write over any open application, and then save the
notes in a SMART Notebook™ file or directly into any Ink Aware application.
Non-Projected Mode
When you configure the SMART Board interactive whiteboard for Non-Projected mode (also
known as Whiteboard mode), you won’t be able to operate the computer from the interactive
whiteboard. However, you can still use Notebook software to capture, save or print anything you
write on the interactive whiteboard.

About 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards 3
Standard Accessories
SMART provides the following accessories with each 600 series interactive whiteboard. If you
need to purchase replacements, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
Standard SMART USB Cable
Your 600 series interactive whiteboard comes with a 16' 5" (5 m)
USB cable. This cable is all that is required to connect the
SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboard to a USB
receptacle on your computer.
SMART Board 600 Series Pens
The pens have a rubberized grip area, colored to match the four
colors of electronic ink: black, green, red, and blue.
You can use dry-erase markers instead of the supplied pens, as
long as they are a similar shape, do not scratch or mark the
surface of the interactive whiteboard and are reflective to
infrared light. If the alternative you provide isn’t reflective to infrared light, the pen tray recess might
not detect the presence of the pen. EXPO® markers make excellent interim substitutes.
SMART didn’t design its older pens to reflect infrared light so the sensors may not detect them
reliably. You can wrap light colored tape around the substitute to improve reflection of infrared light,
helping with tool detection.
SMART Board 600 Series Eraser
The eraser is rectangular to mimic a chalkboard eraser. Again,
you can use a substitute, as long as it has a similar shape, does
not scratch or mark the surface of the interactive whiteboard
and reflects infrared light.
Optional Accessories
You can purchase these optional accessories when you order your interactive whiteboard, or you
can purchase them later from your authorized SMART reseller.
Serial RS-232 Expansion Module
The RS-232 expansion module provides an alternate method of
connecting to a computer. You can also use it to connect the
SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboard to a serial
device such as a room control system.
The serial expansion module plugs into the controller module on
the back of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

4About 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards
Wireless Bluetooth Connection
The Wireless Bluetooth Connection for 600 series
interactive whiteboards uses Bluetooth technology to allow
you to operate your SMART Board 600 series interactive
whiteboard without USB cables.
The Wireless Bluetooth Connection expansion module
plugs into the controller module on the back of the
interactive whiteboard, and the Bluetooth-to-USB converter
plugs into your computer’s USB receptacle. To ensure a
secure connection, the SMART Board expansion module
and USB converter support 128-bit encryption.
SystemOn Expansion Module
The SystemOn expansion module brings a projector out of
standby mode, and has indicators showing SystemOn
component activity.
Two additional features (accessed through the Advanced
tab on the interface) are:
• Automatic logoff
SystemOn logs the user off the computer when the
system enters standby mode.
• Display Mode detection
SystemOn determines which state the projector is in
(Normal or Standby mode).
Components of the SystemOn Expansion Module
The SystemOn expansion module kit contains:
• a Control Panel module that snaps into the pen tray’s
expansion slot
• a Projector Controller and Activity Sensor unit that
provides power to the projector and relays information
between the computer, the projector and the interactive
whiteboard’s pen tray control panel
• a 16' 5" (5.0 m) USB A/B cable to connect the projector
controller to the computer
• a 16' 5" (5.0 m) RJ45 Cat 5 cable to connect the
projector controller to the interactive whiteboard’s
SystemOn control panel
• a CD containing the most recent Windows version of
SystemOn software
• a power adapter, for either North America or the United
Kingdom, to connect the projector’s power cord to the
Projector Controller and Activity Sensor.
For more information about installing, using and troubleshooting the SystemOn expansion module,
refer to the SystemOn Manual, Part No. 99-00693-00.

About 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards 5
USB Audio System
You can mount the USB speakers to a
600 series interactive whiteboard, or you
can wall-mount the speakers using the
provided hardware.
The USB Audio System kit includes:
• two speakers (one speaker contains
a USB hub and an audio amplifier
with a volume control)
• two speaker-mounting brackets
• two brackets for attaching the
speakers to 600 series interactive
whiteboard (as shown)

• a power supply module and a cable
• several screws for attaching the speakers and brackets
• a hex tool for tightening the mounting screws
NOTE: Full instructions for mounting and connecting your USB Audio System are included with
the kit.
Active USB Extension Cables
You can use these cables to extend the standard USB cable by
16' (5 m). You can daisy-chain up to four 16' (5 m) USB active
extension cables to a maximum of 80' (25 m), including the
standard USB cable. For more information, see page 19.

Mounting SMART Board 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards
on a Floor Stand
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, carefully read and observe the following
instructions.
• Before moving a floor stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard, lower the
interactive whiteboard to Position 2, and then proceed with care. Quick stops, excessive force
and uneven surfaces may cause the interactive whiteboard to overturn. Lift the flip-down anti-
tip feet when you move the interactive whiteboard.
• Don’t 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.
1. Lock all four casters and lock the anti-tip
feet in the down position.
NOTE: If you don’t hear the anti-tip feet
click into the locked position, or if you
see the lock-release button still in the
unlocked position, then gently tilt the
stand backwards slightly to allow the feet
to lock.
2. Use the provided hex key to make sure
that all screws in the floor stand are tight.
3. Partially screw two of the bolts provided
into the top holes in the rear of the
interactive whiteboard leaving a 1/8" (3.2
mm) space between the bolt heads and
the surface.
4. With an assistant’s help, hang the
interactive whiteboard on the floor stand,
lowering the two bolts onto the top hooks
on the stand posts.
WARNINGS • Do not mount the SMART Board interactive whiteboard models 660, 680 or 690

CAUTION If 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 that
can sustain the weight of the interactive whiteboard.
Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of the frame.
To mount SMART Board 600 Series interactive whiteboards

12 Installing and Setting Up 600 Series Interactive Whiteboards
1. Using a pencil, a carpenter’s level and a measuring
tape or ruler, draw a horizontal line on the wall,
centered on the mid-point of the interactive
whiteboard’s future position
NOTE: The illustration to the right shows a common
height for model 680 interactive whiteboards. Refer to
the previous pages for recommended mounting heights
for other models and audiences.
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the
location of the five mounting holes on the wall.
3. At each mark, screw in one of the provided self-tapping
wall anchors. Do not use a hammer to tap these
anchors into the wall.
If you find it impossible to screw an anchor flush to the
wall, you may have encountered a stud. If this is the
case, you don’t need to use an anchor in this location.
The stud will provide adequate support for the screw
that secures the bracket to the wall.
4. Attach the wall mount bracket, using five of the
provided screws.
5. Temporarily hang the interactive whiteboard on the wall
mount bracket.
