SMARTBoardM600i6 interactive whiteboard
system features
Your SMARTBoardM600i6 interactive whiteboard
system uses the short-throw, high-offset
SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector. The
throw distance of the SMARTUF70 and
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. You can use an array of gestures within applications.
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M600i6 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 M600 series interactive whiteboard
Your SMARTBoard M600 series interactive whiteboard, featuring SMART’s proprietary DViT®
(DigitalVisionTouch) technology, is the most intuitive touch-sensitive front projection interactive
whiteboard in the world.
The SMARTBoard M600 series interactive whiteboard performs best with the SMARTUF70
projector because of its exceptional colour performance, aspect ratio, input response and short-
throw image distance.

I M P O R T A N T
Use the SMARTBoard M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide
(smarttech.com/kb/170555) to install your interactive whiteboard and projector.
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.
WARNING
Refer to your interactive whiteboard system’s specifications (available at
smarttech.com/support) for its weight. Check your local building regulations to ensure that your
wall can support this weight and use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.

C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
6
Choosing a height
SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorised SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do
the following:
lMount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, whilst 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
location for your interactive whiteboard.
Securing the projector to the boom
To learn how to secure the SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector to the boom, see the
SMARTBoard M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide included
(smarttech.com/kb/170555).
Routeing the cables
If your interactive whiteboard uses one mounting bracket, make sure that all projector cables
pass along the top of the bracket and then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.
If your interactive whiteboard uses two mounting brackets, make sure that all projector cables
pass between the brackets. Space your wall-mounting brackets 10.2cm (4") apart to provide full
support for the weight of your interactive whiteboard.
I M P O R T A N T
Do not connect the power cable to a power socket until you have connected all the cables to
the projector and interactive whiteboard.
