NOTE
If you own a SMART product other than a SMART Board™ 600i3 interactive
whiteboard system, refer to the installation guide that came with your product for
relevant warnings and maintenance instructions.
In this document, “SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system” refers to the
SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboard and its UF55/UF55w projector,
accessories and optional equipment. Before you install and use the SMART Board
600i3 interactive whiteboard system, read and understand the safety warnings and
precautions in this user’s guide, the projector user’s guide and the warnings
document. These safety warnings and precautions describe the safe and correct
operation of the interactive whiteboard system and its accessories, helping you
prevent injuries and equipment damage. You must always ensure that the interactive
whiteboard system is being used correctly.
The UF55/UF55w projector included with your system is designed to work only with
certain SMART Board interactive whiteboard models. Contact your authorized
SMART reseller for more information.
Safety Warnings, Cautions and Important Information
WARNINGS – GENERAL
• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on any
part of your wall-mounted SMART Board
interactive whiteboard system.
• Climbing on the interactive whiteboard or
projector arm could result in personal injury or
product damage. Do not climb on, hang from or
suspend objects from the UF55/UF55w
projector’s arm.

ii | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose any component of
your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system to rain or moisture.
• Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product
could result in personal injury and damage to the product.
• Make sure that an electrical socket is near to your SMART product and
remains easily accessible during use.
• Two people are required to mount the projector boom and the interactive
whiteboard on a wall because they might be too heavy for one person to
maneuver onto their wall-mounting brackets.
• When mounting the projector boom on a framed wall, you must attach both
the mounting bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the
projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail,
resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
• If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector’s arm will be
free to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from
the unit without supporting the projector’s arm first.
• Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART product are
properly bundled and marked to prevent a trip hazard.
• Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall or injury.
WARNINGS – PROJECTOR
• Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into the beam of light created
by the projector. Instruct children not to look in the direction of, or stare at, this
beam of light. Encourage users to keep their back to the projector when
working at the interactive whiteboard. Before they turn to face the audience,
users should step sideways, out of the projector’s beam.
• Do not attempt to service the projector other than performing routine lamp
replacement. Other than the lamp module, there are no user-serviceable
parts inside the unit.
• Refer to the safety warnings and precautions published in the UF55/UF55w
projector manual.
• This projector detects its own remaining lamp life. Replace the lamp when
lamp life warning messages appear. If you continue to use the projector after
the replacement message appears, the lamp might shatter or burst, scattering
glass throughout the projector head.
• If the lamp has shattered or burst:
– Call an authorized SMART reseller for instructions. Do not attempt to
replace the lamp.

iii | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
– Do not touch the glass fragments because they might cause injury.
– Leave and then ventilate the area where the lamp shattered or burst.
– Wash your hands thoroughly if you have come into contact with
lamp debris.
– Thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and discard any edible
items placed in that area because they might be contaminated.
• You must remove the projector from the projector’s arm before servicing
the lamp.
– Replacing the lamp in a boom-mounted projector might result in a fall
or injury.
– Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on a projector’s arm
might lead to product damage or personal injury from falling pieces of
glass if the lamp is broken.
• When replacing the projector lamp:
– Turn the projector off and wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool completely
before removing the projector from the boom.
– Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp
replacement instructions.
– Wear protective eyewear while changing the lamp. Failure to do so can
cause injury or loss of eyesight if the lamp shatters or bursts.
– Use only replacement lamps approved by SMART Technologies. Contact
your authorized SMART reseller for replacement parts.
– Never replace the lamp assembly with a previously-used lamp assembly.
– To prevent premature lamp failure or exposure to mercury, always handle
the fragile lamp assembly with care. Use gloves when touching the lamp.
Do not touch the lamp with your fingers.
– Recycle or dispose of the lamp as hazardous waste, in accordance with
local regulations.
• When returning the projector to the boom, replace all of the screws you
removed when you removed the projector. Failure to do so can result in the
projector falling from the boom resulting in injury or equipment damage.
• To reduce the risk associated with a leaking battery in your projector’s remote
control:
– use only the specified coin-cell type battery
– orient the battery’s plus (+) and minus (-) terminal according to the
markings on the remote control

iv | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
– remove the battery when the remote control is unused for an extended
period
– do not heat, disassemble, short or recharge the battery, or expose it to fire
or high temperatures
– avoid eye and skin contact if the battery has a leak
– dispose of the exhausted battery and product components in accordance
with applicable regulations
CAUTIONS
• Avoid turning off the projector during the lamp ignition phase as this may lead
to premature lamp failure. Before turning the projector off, keep the lamp on
for a minimum of 15 minutes after turning it on to preserve the lamp life.
• Never 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 may condense on the lens and crucial internal parts. Allow the
system to reach room temperature before operation to prevent possible
damage to the unit.
• In a high altitude location where the altitude is over 6000' (1828.8 m), where
the air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced, so use the projector with the fan
mode set to High.
• Do not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.
• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could
cause a malfunction and shorten the life of the projector.
• Do not set up or use the interactive whiteboard system in an area with
excessive levels of dust, dirt, humidity or smoke.
• Before you clean the UF55/UF55w projector, put the system into Idle mode by
pressing the power button twice on the ECP or remote, and allow the bulb to
cool for 30 minutes.
• Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the
projector base or head. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part of
the projector, as it may damage or stain the unit.
• Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage the interactive
whiteboard system. After you turn off the system, wait at least 15 minutes for
cooling before starting the system.
• Do not connect your serial cable directly to the projector’s RS-232 serial
interface. Use the extended control panel’s (ECP’s) RS-232 serial
interface only.

v | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• 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 prevent
damage to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
• Do not add extra weight or apply pressure to the UF55/UF55w projector
boom, the wall-mounted interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART
Technologies designed the brackets to support only the weight of the
components during normal use.
• If the interactive whiteboard system 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.
IMPORTANT
• Using the UF55/UF55w projector system near a TV or radio may cause
interference to the images or sound. If this happens, move the TV or radio
away from the projector.
• Do not place the interactive whiteboard system near any appliance that
generates a strong magnetic field.
• Do not place the interactive whiteboard system in direct sunlight.
• The screws that secure the interactive whiteboard to the wall are located
directly behind the pen tray. The pen tray must be removed before you can
remove the interactive whiteboard. When you secure the pen tray, you also
secure the interactive whiteboard.
• The SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system does not include
speakers. Consult your authorized SMART reseller to determine your audio
output options.
• If you have peripheral devices that do not use a 4-pin mini-DIN connector or
an RCA composite video jack, or if your device has an audio connection that
does not use RCA jacks, you may need to purchase third-party adapters.
• Disconnect the product from its power source when it’s not used for a
long period.
• When cleaning the interactive whiteboard system:
– Wipe the exterior of the projector using a lint-free cloth
– If necessary, use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent to clean the
projector housing
– Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents
