Important information
Before you install and use your SMART Board® 480i6 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UF70 or SMARTUF70w projector
lAccessories and optional equipment
The projector included with your system is designed to work only with certain SMARTBoard

for more information.
Safety warnings, cautions and important
information
Installation
WARNING
lFailure to follow the installation instructions included 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.
lTwo people are required to mount your SMART product because it may be too heavy for
one person to safely manoeuvre.
When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your assistant should stand on either
side of the screen, supporting its weight at the bottom whilst balancing the top with your
other hands.

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
ii
lWhen mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach the mounting
bracket 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 colour. Handle cables carefully and avoid excessive
bending.
C A U T I O N
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 stabilise 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 that 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.
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 M P O R T A N T
lThe SMARTBoard 680i6 and 685i6 interactive whiteboard system textless installation
guide is also available online (smarttech.com/kb/170498).
lMake sure an electrical socket is near your SMART product and remains easily
accessible during use.

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
iii
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
WARNING
lIf you are using an external 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 A U T I O N
lDo not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.
lIf dust or small items prevent pen tray buttons from being pressed or cause constant
button contact, remove the obstructions carefully.
I M P O R T A N T
lKeep your remote control in a safe place because there is no other way to access menu
options.
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.
Other precautions
If you own a SMARTproduct other than a SMARTBoard 680i6 and 685i6 series interactive
whiteboard system, refer to the installation manual for your product for relevant warnings and

SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard
system features
Your SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard
system uses the short-throw, high-offset
SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector. The
throw distance of the SMARTUF70 or
SMARTUF70w projectors is half that of the
SMARTUF65 projector, resulting in a shorter
boom and reduced shadows on the projected
image.
When the projector displays an image from your
computer on the touch-sensitive interactive
whiteboard, you can do everything that you can do
at your computer—open and close applications,
scroll through files, conference with others, create
new documents or edit existing ones, visit
websites, play video clips and more—by touching
the screen. This projector also supports video and audio connections from a variety of devices,
including DVD/Blu-ray™ players, VCRs, document cameras and digital cameras, and can
project media from these sources onto the interactive screen.
When you use SMART software with your SMART Board 480i6 interactive whiteboard system,
you can write or draw over the projected computer image in digital ink using a pen tray pen or your
finger, and then save these notes to a .notebook file or directly into any Ink Aware application.
SMARTBoard 600 series interactive whiteboard
Your SMARTBoard 600 series interactive whiteboard has many features, including a resistive
touch screen and a pen tray.
Other features of your interactive whiteboard include the
following:

Included accessories
The following accessories are included with your interactive whiteboard system.
Remote control
The remote control enables you to control the system and set up your projector. Use
the remote control to access menu options, system information and input selection
options.
Pens
The pens have rubberised grip areas and are coloured to match four
colours of digital ink: black, red, green and blue.
You can use dry-wipe markers to replace the pens included, as long as
they’re a similar shape, don’t scratch or mark your interactive
whiteboard surface and reflect infrared light. If the substitute doesn’t
reflect infrared light, the pen tray sensors might not detect the presence of the pen.
N O T E
Some of SMART’s older pens aren’t designed to reflect infrared light and the pen tray sensors
might not detect them reliably.
T I P
Wrap light-coloured tape around a substitute pen to improve the reflection of infrared light and
help with tool detection.

C H A P T E R 1

Eraser
The eraser resembles a rectangular blackboard eraser. You can use a
substitute object, as long as it has a similar shape, reflects infrared light
and doesn’t scratch or mark the interactive whiteboard surface.
VGA connection kit
The VGA connection kit allows you to connect a laptop to your
interactive whiteboard system using a VGA cable. The end of the VGA
connection kit can be attached to either side of the interactive

Use the SMARTBoard 660i5,680i5, 685i5 and 690i5 interactive whiteboard system installation
guide (smarttech.com/kb/154547) to install your interactive whiteboard, projector and ECP.
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 authorised SMART reseller.
