ii Important Information
Other Precautions
For proper installation, read this guide carefully and observe the following precautions.
The Components
•Do not place sharp or heavy objects on the ID250. These objects may scratch the screen’s
surface or block the ventilation holes. Also, don’t use any instrument other than the stylus on the
screen because other instruments may damage the screen’s coating.
•Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cable if the ID250 or your computer is on.
Doing so may damage the liquid crystal display (LCD) and/or the computer video card.
•Use the ID250 with a video card that can support XGA resolution and a refresh rate no higher
than 70 Hz. An inappropriate video card may damage the screen.
•Do not block the ventilation holes. Doing so may cause the ID250 to overheat.
•The refresh rate is 45 Hz to 70 Hz in XGA mode, and 45 Hz to 75 Hz in other modes. Do not
exceed these vertical refresh rates because the screen may overheat.
•If you must move the ID250, lift it using the finger indentations on the underside of the unit
The Stylus
•The stylus is a sealed unit. There aren’t any user-repairable parts inside the stylus, nor are
there any batteries. If you attempt to open the stylus, you may break the seal and render the
stylus unusable. Also, if you open the stylus, you’ll void your warranty.
•With use, the stylus wears down. Do not use a stylus that has worn down to a sharp or angular
tip, as it may damage the screen. See page17 for instructions on changing the stylus tip.
The Environment
•Avoid setting up and using the ID250 in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity and
cigarette smoke, where it’s exposed to direct sunlight, severe temperature changes, heat from
other appliances, water or any other liquid. You should operate the ID250 in an environment
with a temperature range between 41° F and 95° F (5° to 35° C) and with a humidity range of
20% to 80% (non-condensing). However, you can store the ID250 in an environment with a
temperature range of 14° F to 140° F (-10° to 60° C) and a humidity range of 20% to 90%
(non-condensing).
•Do not modify the power cord. Handle it carefully and avoid excessive bending. You should
route the power cord in an area where it’s unlikely to be stepped on, or pinched by items placed
on or against it. If you must run a cable over the floor, lay it in a flat, straight line, and secure it to
the floor with tape or a cable management strip of contrasting color.
•The ID250 comes with a three-prong, grounding-type power plug. This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. If you’re unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact your
electrician to replace the outlet.
•Place the ID250 in a location where users will have clear and direct access to the main power
plug, as they must be able to unplug the unit at all times. Always disconnect the ID250 before
you install any devices or perform any maintenance.
•Unplug the ID250 during an electrical storm, or if it won’t be used over a long period of time
•Avoid subjecting the ID250 to intensive shock or vibration. You may damage it if you hit or drop
it.
•If you or the service technician needs replacement parts, use ones that are specified by SMART
Technologies Inc., or parts approved by SMART that have the same characteristics as the
originals

Overview 1
Overview
The Sympodium ID250 interactive pen display works with a computer to create an interactive
presentation environment. It uses SMART Board software (version 8.1 or higher) to provide presenters
and teachers with dynamic and interactive tools for creating presentations and lessons. Its powerful
interactive writing surface allows you to control and annotate over any computer application while facing
the audience.
This guide describes how to install, integrate and use the ID250 with your computer and projector
(optional). However, this manual doesn’t cover the many features of SMART Board software. For full
instructions on using this software, refer to the two versions of the SMART Board User’s Guidethat come
with the ID250.
Your Sympodium ID250 interactive pen display includes:
•an interactive screen – a 15" (38.1 cm) liquid-crystal display (LCD) that contains an
electromagnetic digitizer and has a tilt stand attached
•an electromagnetic stylus – for you to control the display
•pen tool buttons – for you to select the stylus behavior
•function buttons – for you to quickly open specific SMART Board tools
•on-screen display buttons – for you to control the video display quality
•connectivity ports – USB, video and power ports are on the back of the ID250
•a stylus storage compartment and tether – so you can store the stylus with the unit
Figure 1: Front View of the ID250
When you set up your ID250, you can install the tether to safeguard against the loss of your stylus (see
page11). Remember, only the supplied stylus works with the interactive screen – other pointing devices
won’t activate the screen components.

2Overview
The Interactive Screen
The screen is a liquid crystal display (LCD) with a native resolution of 1024 x 768. It supports up to
16,777,216 colors. This screen acts as both an input device and an output device.
Integrated into the screen is an electromagnetic digitizer, which makes the screen interactive. However,
this digitizer won’t function in the vicinity of a large magnetic field. For this reason, keep the screen away
from speakers and power transformers.
For it to function properly, you must connect the ID250 to a computer with a VGA video card. An
inappropriate video card may damage the unit.
The Stylus, Pen Tool and Function Buttons
By using the stylus and the buttons on the ID250, you can control and manipulate items on your screen,
create or remove electronic ink, or instantly activate programs. If you want, you can tether the stylus to
the unit, so it’s always near the display, or you can store the stylus in the side pen storage compartment.
The stylus will activate a component when you touch the stylus tip to the screen. Also, as long as the
Hover setting is on in SMART Board software, you’ll see the cursor move when you move the stylus
above the screen. To view or change this setting, open the SMART Board Control Panel, press the
Advancedbutton, and go to the Hover tab.
When the stylus touches the screen, the electronics in the stylus generate x,y coordinates. These
coordinates, along with information on the selected pen tool, are sent through the USB cable and
interpreted by SMART Board software.
NOTE: To interpret the stylus coordinates as mouse activity, the connected computer must be running
the SMART Board tools. You’ll know that the SMART Board tools are running if you can see the SMART
Board icon in the system tray or the Dock.
You’ll notice that the screen’s Status indicator glows blue when the stylus touches the screen.
The pen tool buttons at the top of the screen include:
•the Left-Click button (the default tool)
•the Black, Blue and Red electronic ink buttons
•the Eraser button
The function buttons at the bottom of the screen give you quick access to:
•right-click functionality
•the SMART Keyboard (the on-screen keyboard)
•the screen capture tools
•the floating tools toolbar
•Notebook™ software
As well as these buttons, the ID250 includes on-screen display control buttons for configuring the display
settings. See page9 for details on these settings.
CAUTION Only use the stylus that came with the ID250. Pens or styluses from other products may
damage the protective coating of the display.

Overview 3
Connectivity Ports
The ID250 has four ports: a USB port for connection to the supplied USB cable; an HD DB15 video input
port for the video cable from your computer; an HD DB15 video output port for a video cable to a
projector or a monitor; and a power port for the power cable.
To connect the computer to the video port, use the standard RGB video cable that came with your ID250.
The ID250 can also send its video signal out to a projector or a monitor using a standard HD DB15 video
cable (not supplied). However, because this signal isn’t amplified, don’t connect a video cable that’s
longer than 50' (15 m) to the other display, unless you boost the signal. For integration information, see
page12.
Power
The Sympodium ID250 interactive pen display uses a single 12V DC power supply, which comes with
your unit, along with an appropriate country-specific power cable to connect to a power outlet. When you
connect the components to the power supply, 12V of DC power flows to the ID250.
The AC or MAINS input is designed for both 120V AC and 220V AC operation. Nevertheless, the ID250
is an auto-switching unit so no user intervention is required.

Installing the ID250 5
Installing the ID250
Read this section to:
•determine the ideal location for the ID250 (this page)
•connect the ID250 (page6)
•integrate a monitor or a projector (page7)
•install SMART Board software (page7)
•orient the screen so the computer can accurately track stylus contact (page8)
•match your computer’s resolution setting to that of the interactive screen so you get the best
possible picture quality (page8)
•adjust the screen for minor improvements to the display (page9)
All the cables that you need to connect your Sympodium ID250 interactive pen display to a computer are
included. Don’t use any other cables, as they may damage the ID250.
You can connect the ID250 to another monitor or an external projector so that the interactive screen
display is simultaneously displayed on the other screen (page7). There are other integration options
available if you amplify the video signal (page12).
NOTE: For the ID250 to function properly in XGA mode (1024 x 768 resolution), you must set the
computer’s vertical refresh rate between 45 Hz and 70 Hz. However, if you’re using a mode less than
XGA, your refresh rate can be between 45 Hz and 75 Hz.
Determining the Best Location for Your ID250
When you determine the best location for your interactive pen display, consider the environment in which
you’re placing it, including ergonomical issues, and problems with glare, heat and humidity. Also, you
should give some thought to the location of the computer and its components in relation to the ID250.
Writing on the interactive pen display with the stylus is as natural as writing with a pen on paper. You can
enhance this intuitive experience for other users by creating a comfortable environment. For example,
accommodate users of different statures by making an adjustable chair available, or by letting them know
that they can use the ID250 on their lap, or as a hand-held device.
NOTE: SMART Technologies makes no representation, promise or guarantee that the ID250 will cure or
prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions.
To alleviate glare, you can angle the ID250 up to 80° from the horizontal. By using the attached tilt stand,
you can angle the ID250 from 8° to 73° from the horizontal. Alternatively, you can use a tilt stand that
conforms to the standard sizes set by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). When
installing a VESA-compatible stand, use M4 screws (0.16" or 4 mm wide with a 0.03" or 0.7 mm pitch)
that are no longer than 0.59" (15 mm) long.
CAUTION Don’t connect the video or power cables if the ID250 or your computer is on. Doing so
may damage either unit.

6Installing the ID250
When the ID250 is on, it generates a fair amount of heat. To maintain a consistent operating
temperature, don’t block or cover any of the ventilation holes, which are at the back of the unit. Other
external factors can affect the ID250, such as the heat generated by television lighting or the airflow in
the room. If there is inadequate airflow, install a fan. We recommend using a DC brushless fan to
increase air circulation in an enclosure. However, if you use an AC-voltage fan, use a low-noise model
and keep its power cable away from all other cables.
Install the ID250 in a cool, dry location without excessive levels of dust, humidity and cigarette smoke.
Also, operate the ID250 in an environment with a temperature range between 41° F and 95° F (5° C to
35°C) and with a humidity range of 20% to 80% (non-condensing). You can store the ID250 in an
environment with a temperature range of 14° F to 140° F (-10° C to 60° C) and a humidity range of 20%
to 90% (non-condensing).
Keep the computer keyboard and the mouse close to the ID250, because the stylus won’t function until
you install SMART Board software and open SMART Board tools. You should also keep your computer
within 19 1/2' (6.0 m) of the ID250. This distance protects against signal degradation that occurs as the
USB cable length increases. The video cable also has distance limitations, so you shouldn’t use an RGB
video cable that’s longer than 50' (15 m).
Connecting the ID250
1. Open the tilt stand and set the ID250 on the support surface at the desired location.
2. Check that your computer and the ID250 are both off.
3. Connect the supplied video cable to the RGB Video IN port on the ID250.
4. Connect the other end of this cable to the monitor port on the computer.
5. Connect the power supply to the ID250 and then connect the power cable to the power supply.
6. Power on the computer and the ID250.
NOTE: If your computer needs to install drivers, search for them in the operating system
folders.
7. Connect the supplied USB cable to both the ID250 and a free USB port on your computer.

Integrating a Monitor or a Projector
You can connect a projector or another monitor directly to the ID250. With this setup, whatever you
display on the ID250 also appears on the other screen, so your audience will see your annotations on the
interactive screen.
When you connect a projector or a monitor, the video signal from the computer is automatically sent to
the projector.
1. Connect a VGA (RGB) video cable (not supplied) to the RGB Video OUTport on the ID250.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Video Inputport on your projector or monitor.
For details on the projector ports, refer to the documentation that came with your projector.
Installing SMART Board Software
Your ID250 comes with the SMART Board software CD-ROM so you can install SMART Board software
on any computer. For complete details on installing and using the software, refer to theSMART Board
User’s Guide, which accompanies your unit.
NOTE: You’ll need to use the computer’s keyboard or mouse to perform the installation, as your screen
is not touch sensitive until you install and open the SMART Board tools.
1. Power on the computer and the ID250 (if you haven’t already done so).
2. Close all open applications on the computer.
3. Insert theSMART Board software CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM starts automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: You’ll have to use the connected keyboard and mouse, because the stylus doesn’t work
until the SMART Board tools are running.
If the CD-ROM doesn’t start automatically, for Windows computers, select Start >Run and
enter x:\autorun.exe(where x: is your CD-ROM drive). For Macintosh computers, open your
CD-ROM drive and double-click the install file.
NOTE: If SMART Board software doesn’t recognize the ID250, you may have to activate the
port manually using an attached keyboard or mouse. For details, read the SMART Board
software online Help under Setting Up Your SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard. Also, if the
ID250 is your secondary monitor, you may need to enable it in your Display Properties Control
Panel.
Since you must have the SMART Board tools running to use the ID250, make sure they open
automatically when you power on the computer. You’ll know the tools are open if you can see
the SMART Board icon in the system tray or the Dock. When you install SMART Board
software, select the option to start the SMART Board tools automatically when you start your
computer.
4. With the software installed, touch the stylus to the interactive screen. The cursor should appear
under the stylus point. If it doesn’t, you may need to orient the screen (see page8) or refer to
the Troubleshooting section of this guide (page19).
5. If necessary, configure the display settings on your computer to 1024 x 768 resolution with True
Color (24 bit) and a refresh rate of 70 Hz. See page8 for more details on matching the
resolution.

8Installing the ID250
Orienting the Screen
To accurately respond to a stylus touch, the computer needs to know the exact location of the image on
the interactive screen. This is the purpose of the orientation procedure, which is a very simple process of
touching the stylus precisely on a grid of red crosses. With the correct orientation, the cursor appears
directly beneath the stylus when you touch the screen.
NOTE: If the image on the screen is distorted, you may have to match the resolution (see page8) and
adjust the screen (see page9) before you can orient it.
1. For Windows computers, click theSMART Board icon in the system tray and select Orient.
For Macintosh computers, press and hold the SMART Board icon in the Dock, and select Open
Orient.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions. For more details, see the SMART Board User’s Guide.
If you’re dissatisfied with the precision of a particular orientation point, redo the last point by
pressing either the Left-Click or Right-Click button on the ID250 or the left arrow key on your
keyboard. You won’t lose any previously established orientation points.
To redo the entire orientation procedure, press the keyboard’s ESC key.
Matching the Resolution
For the image output of the computer to display properly on the interactive screen, you must set the
computer’s resolution to match that of the screen. The native resolution of the screen is 1024 x 768
(XGA). If you are using an external projector, make sure that projector can support XGA resolution. You
should also check that the refresh rate setting is between 45 Hz and 70 Hz.
If needed, configure the display settings on the computer according to the instructions below. You must
use the mouse to do this.
