Wall-mounting your interactive flat panel
Use a team of trained, professional installers equipped with a lifting device to install your
interactive flat panel.
WARNING
lImproper installation can result in personal injury or product damage.
lYour interactive flat panel weighs 262 lb. (119 kg). Refer to local building codes to
ensure your installation area can support this weight.
C A U T I ON
Do not allow the weight of the interactive flat panel to rest on the color select module because it
is not designed to support product weight. Attach other components while the interactive flat
panel is either still in its packaging or suspended from a lifting device to prevent the weight of
the interactive flat panel from damaging the color select module.
I M P O R T A N T
Save all product packaging so that it is available if you need to transport your interactive flat
panel. If your original packaging is not available, you can purchase new product packaging from
your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).
Important mounting considerations for trained installers
Consider the following when mounting the interactive flat panel on a wall:
lAttach the included M12 eyebolts and washers to assist in mounting, and remove them
after you wall-mount the interactive flat panel.
WARNING
Do not attempt to mount or carry the interactive flat
panel using your own strength because it could fall and
cause personal injury. Attach a lifting device to the
included M12 eyebolts to lift and carry the interactive
flat panel.
C A U T I ON
Hand-tighten the M12 eyebolts. If you over-tighten the eyebolts and damage the threads,
you will be unable to remove the eyebolts.

ll Plan your workflow to include cabling because some cable connection points might not be
accessible after installation.
I M P O R T A N T
Attach the speakers and connect the speaker wires to the interactive flat panel before
you wall-mount it. For more information, see Installing the speakers on page 8.
lTo mount the interactive flat panel on a wall, you require a standard VESA 400 mm × 400
mm mounting plate (not included).
lUse M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket. The screws must be 14–15 mm long plus the
thickness of the bracket and the washer.
lThe recommended fasten force is 1125–1375 N·cm.
lRefer to the instructions included with the mounting equipment for more detailed
information.
Choosing a mounting location
Consider the following when you select a location for the interactive flat panel:
lThe wall must be strong enough to support the interactive flat panel and the mounting
equipment. The interactive flat panel weighs 262 lb. (119 kg).
lDo not install the interactive flat panel in a location where a door or gate could hit it.
lDo not install the interactive flat panel in an area where it will be subjected to strong
vibrations or dust.
lDo not install the interactive flat panel near where the main power supply enters the
building.
lEnsure adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around the interactive flat panel so
that heat can flow away from the unit and the mounting equipment.
lIf you mount the interactive flat panel in a recessed area, leave at least 4" (10 cm) of space
between the interactive flat panel and the recess walls to enable ventilation and cooling.
