Important information
WARNING
lFailure to follow the installation instructions shipped with the interactive flat panel could
result in injury and product damage which may not be covered by the warranty.
lDo not open or disassemble the interactive flat panel. You risk electrical shock from the high
voltage inside the casing. Opening the casing also voids the warranty.
lDo not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of the interactive flat
panel. Rather, mount the product at the appropriate height.
lTo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the interactive flat panel to rain or
moisture.
lIf the interactive flat panel requires replacement parts, make sure the service technician
uses replacement parts specified by SMARTTechnologies or parts with the same
characteristics as the original.
lEnsure that any cables that cross the floor to the interactive flat panel are properly bundled
and marked to avoid a trip hazard.
lUseonly extension cords and outlets that can fully accommodate the interactive flat panel’s
polarized plug.
lUse the power cable provided with the interactive flat panel. If a power cable is not
supplied with the interactive flat panel, please contact your supplier. Use only power cables
that match the AC voltage of the power outlet and that comply with your country’s safety
standards.
lIf the glass is broken, do not touch the liquid crystal. To prevent injury, handle glass
fragments with care when disposing of them.
lUse only VESA®-approved mounting hardware.
lDo not insert objects inside the cabinet ventilation holes, because they could touch
dangerous voltage points and cause electric shock, fire or product damage which may not
be covered by the warranty.
lDo not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Damage to the cable could cause
shock, fire or product damage which may not be covered by the warranty.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

To mount your interactive flat panel on a wall, you require a team of professional installers.
This chapter is intended for installers. Installers should read this chapter along with the installation
instructions included with the interactive flat panel before they mount the interactive flat panel.
WARNING
Improper mounting of the interactive flat panel can result in personal injury and product damage.
Before mounting the interactive flat panel
Perform these tasks before mounting your interactive flat panel:
lReview the environmental requirements in the interactive flat panel’s specifications (see
Specifications on page5).
lSave all product packaging so that it’s available if you need to transport the interactive flat
panel. If the original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase new product packaging from
your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).
lRefer to local building codes to ensure the wall can support the weight of the interactive flat
panel and mounting equipment.
Model Weight
SPNL-4055 116 lb 13 oz (53 kg)
SPNL-4065 153 lb (69.4 kg)
SPNL-4075 189 lb (86 kg)
SPNL-4084 238 lb (108 kg)

CHAPTER 2
MOUNTING YOUR INTERACTIVE FLAT PANEL

lUse a standard VESAmounting plate (not included) to mount the interactive flat panel on a
wall.
Model Mounting plate
SPNL-4055 600 mm × 400 mm
SPNL-4065 600 mm × 400 mm
SPNL-4075 1000 mm × 600 mm
SPNL-4084 600 mm × 600 mm
lUse M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the screws.

lBecause the receptacles might not be easily accessible after the installers mount the
interactive flat panel, consider connecting cables for power, computers and other devices
while the interactive flat panel is still in its packaging (see Chapter 3: Connecting power and
devices on page11).

CHAPTER 2
MOUNTING YOUR INTERACTIVE FLAT PANEL
9 smarttech.com/kb/170800
Choosing a mounting location
Consider the following when you select a location for the interactive flat panel:
lChoose a location for the interactive flat panel that’s far from bright light sources, such as
windows and strong overhead lighting. IR lighting can cause issues with the performance of
the cameras and can lead to unintentional or missed touches.
lThe wall must be strong enough to support the interactive flat panel and the mounting
equipment. See the table below for the weights of the various 4000 series interactive flat
panel models:
Model Weight
SMARTBoard 4055 116 lb (53 kg)
SMARTBoard 4065 153 lb (69.4)
SMART board 4075 189 lb (86 kg)
SMARTBoard 4084 238 lb (108 kg)
lSelect a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your
interactive flat panel. Mount the interactive flat panel in a location that’s central to your
audience’s viewing direction.
For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller
(smarttech.com/where).
Choosing a mounting height
Consider the general height of the user community when you choose the height for the interactive
flat panel.
The flat panel height is based on the midpoint between the reach of the students and the teacher.
