Important information
Before you install and use your SMART Board™ X800 series interactive whiteboard,
read the following warnings carefully. Failure to read the warnings below, or to follow
the installation instructions included with your SMART product could result in personal
injury or product damage.
NOTE
In this document, the term “interactive whiteboard” refers to your interactive
whiteboard and its accessories and options.
WARNINGS
• Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART product are
properly fastened together and marked to avoid a trip hazard.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your SMART
product to rain or moisture.
• 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.
• Do not touch (or allow children to touch) your projector because it can
become extremely hot during normal operation.
• Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of
your SMART product. Instead, safely fix the product at the appropriate height
on a wall or use a SMART height-adjustable floor stand.
• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on a wall- or stand-
supported SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
• Two people are required to safely mount your interactive
whiteboard because it is too heavy for one person to safely
maneuver. When you and your assistant lift your interactive whiteboard,
support its weight at the bottom, avoiding the corner cameras, and balance
the top with your other hands.

ii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• To prevent injury or product and property damage, use only the mounting
hardware supplied with your SMART Board X800 series interactive
whiteboard when you install your product on drywall. The mounting hardware
provided with other interactive whiteboards may not be strong enough to
support the weight of SMART Board X800 series interactive whiteboards.
• Use two wall-mounting brackets to install SMART Board interactive
whiteboards with a diagonal width of 87" (221 cm) or more.
• For operating safety and to prevent damage to your interactive whiteboard,
connect its USB connector, or SMART connection extenders, only 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.
• To prevent injury or product damage as a result of tipping, mount your
interactive whiteboard only on a floor stand that is certified for use with
SMART Board X800 series interactive whiteboards, such as the SMART
FS670 Mobile Floor Stand or SMART HAWM FS-UX Mobile Floor Stand. Do
not modify your interactive whiteboard or your floor stand to make them
compatible.
• Move a floor stand-supported SMART Board interactive whiteboard with care.
Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product
to overturn.
CAUTIONS
• If you need to lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall, make sure that
it remains in an upright position, resting on its pen tray brackets, which are
designed to sustain your interactive whiteboard’s weight. Do not rest your
interactive whiteboard on its side, on the top of its frame or on the corners of
the frame where the cameras are located.
• Do not 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 your interactive whiteboard and its accessories
during normal use.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the pen tray. Only qualified
personnel should disassemble the pen tray’s printed circuit boards, using
proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
• When transporting your SMART Board interactive whiteboard, repack it with
as much of the original packaging as possible. This packaging was designed
with optimal shock and vibration protection.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the interactive whiteboard’s cameras
because the force of the air could damage them.

iii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Do not allow cleaner to flow onto the reflective strips at the edges of the
interactive whiteboard’s frame, or into the pen tray slots.
• Do not set up and use your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive
levels of dust, humidity or smoke.
• If your SMART Board interactive whiteboard 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.
Other precautions
If you own a SMART product other than a SMART Board X800 series interactive
whiteboard, refer to the installation manual for your product for relevant warnings and
maintenance instructions.
