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.

can project media from these sources onto the interactive screen.

When you use your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system with a computer,
you can do everything you can do at a computer workstation—open files, conference
with others, work on documents, visit websites, play video clips and more—simply by
touching the screen.

When you use SMART Notebook software with your 600i3 interactive whiteboard
system, you can write over any Ink Aware applications in digital ink using a pen tray
pen or your finger, and then save these notes either in the application or to a SMART
Notebook file for future reference and distribution.

5 | CHAPTER 1 – ABOUT YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Standard Accessories

SMART provides the following accessories with your SMART Board 600i3 interactive
whiteboard system.

Remote Control

The remote control lets you control the system and set up
your UF55/UF55w projector. Use the remote control to
access menu options, system information and input

selection options.

Pen Tray Tools

The pen tray tools include four pens and an eraser. The
pens have a rubberized grip area, colored to match the four
colors of digital ink: black, green, red and blue. You can use
dry-erase markers instead of the supplied pens, as long as
they are a similar shape, do not scratch or mark the surface
of the interactive whiteboard and reflect infrared light.

If the pens you provide don’t reflect infrared light, the pen tray sensor might not detect
the presence of the pen. You can use EXPO® markers or substitutes.

NOTES

• Pens from earlier interactive whiteboards weren’t designed to reflect infrared

light, so the pen tray may not detect them reliably. You can wrap light-colored
tape around the pen to improve the reflection of infrared light and to help with
tool detection.

• Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers such as EXPO2®, because they can

be very difficult to remove. Use standard dry-erase (high-odor) markers that
include a warning to use them only in well-ventilated areas.

Eraser

The eraser resembles a rectangular chalkboard eraser. You
can use a substitute eraser provided it has a similar shape,
doesn’t scratch or mark the surface of the interactive
whiteboard and reflects infrared light.

EN61000-4-2 severity level 4 for direct and indirect ESD. No malfunction or damage
up to 8kV (both polarities) with a 330 ohm, 150 pF probe (air discharge). Unmated
connectors meet 4kV (both polarities) for direct (contact) discharge.

Cables

All SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system cables should be shielded, to
prevent potential accidents and degraded video and audio quality.

Conducted and Radiated Emissions

The narrowband-radiated electric field from SMART Board 600i3 interactive
whiteboard systems meets the limits for Class A performance as defined in EN55022/
CISPR 22.

IMPORTANT

Using the UF55/UF55w projector system near a TV or radio could cause
interference to the images or sound. If this happens, move the TV or radio away
from the projector.

10 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Before Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System

Choose a location for your SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system that is
far from bright light sources, such as windows or overhead lighting. Bright light
sources can cause distracting shadows on the interactive whiteboard and can reduce
the contrast of the projected image.

Locate a wall with a flat, regular surface and minimum clearance to accommodate
your interactive whiteboard system. Make sure that the UF55/UF55w projector and
the SMART Board interactive whiteboard are installed on the same flat surface. For
best presentation alignment, SMART recommends that you mount your interactive
whiteboard system in a location that is central to your audience’s viewing direction.
For mobile installation or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized

SMART reseller. If the mounting surface is slightly irregular or if you’re unable to

mount the interactive whiteboard system on a stud, consult Mounting SMART Board
Interactive Whiteboard Systems and UF55 Projectors on a Back Board, (document

135075).

Recommended Mounting Heights

SMART includes a mounting template with each of its SMART Board 600i3 interactive
whiteboard systems. If you lose this template, contact your authorized SMART

reseller. Using this template ensures that you:

• Mount the UF55/UF55w projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while
maintaining enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit

• Position the projector at the correct height above the 600 series interactive
whiteboard to make sure that the projected image aligns with the touch screen

Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that is suitable for
adults of average height. Although you should consider the general height of your
user community when you choose a position for the interactive whiteboard, consult
your local regulations before mounting the unit.

WARNING

When mounting the projector 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 boom will be free to
swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit
without supporting the projector boom first.

11 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

After Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System

Adjusting Keystone Alignment

Keystone errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen.

From the projector, the image path is

shorter along the top.

The image appears shorter across the top when the image path’s distance from the
projector to the top of the screen is shorter than the distance to the bottom of the
screen. The image appears shorter across the bottom when the image path’s distance
from the projector to the bottom of the screen is shorter than the distance to the top of
the screen. Vertical keystone errors can occur when you mount the UF55/UF55w
projector and the SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboard on an uneven
surface or a wall that has obstructions.

Horizontal keystone errors can occur when you swivel the UF55/UF55w projector too
far from the SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboard’s vertical center, when
you mount the projector and the interactive whiteboard on an uneven surface, or when
the interactive whiteboard is slightly closer to the projector on one side than the other.

From the projector, the image path is

shorter along the bottom.

From the projector, the image path

is shorter along the right side.

From the projector, the image path

is shorter along the left side.

12 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

The image appears shorter across the right side when the distance from the projector
to the right of the screen is shorter than the distance to the left of the screen. The
image appears shorter across the left side when the distance from the projector to the
left of the screen is shorter than the distance to the right of the screen.

Adjust the interactive whiteboard side to side to center the image (from the projector),
as illustrated in the installation document. This eliminates many keystone errors. If
your installation environment prevents you from moving the interactive whiteboard,
you can adjust the projector boom for optimal image alignment.

NOTES

• If you move the interactive whiteboard system to a new location, you must

re-adjust it.

• If your projector requires service, you must adjust the replacement projector.

WARNING

Two people are required to mount the projector and the interactive whiteboard on
a wall because the items might be too heavy for one person to maneuver onto the
wall-mounting brackets.

To focus and

adjust the image

Focusing the Image

NOTE

Ensure that you remove the plastic lens cover from the projector.

To focus the projected image, use the Focus Ring, located on the bottom of the UF55/
UF55w projector (when the projector is facing downward).

Rotate the Focus Ring right or left
until the image is clear.

Performing an Image Alignment

Use this procedure to obtain a rectangular image that is slightly smaller than the
interactive whiteboard’s screen.

NOTES

• Project a computer image (set to the proper resolution) while performing the

following steps. If you don’t have a computer, use the projector’s default blue
background so that you can see the full projected image clearly.

• SMART doesn’t recommend adjusting the digital keystoning within the

projector. Instead, use the mechanical adjustment described below.

To perform an initial

image alignment

1. Align the top of the projected image so that it’s parallel with the top edge of the
interactive whiteboard’s surface.

2. Loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint to allow movement of the
projector as needed.

IMPORTANT

Do not loosen the wingnut too much or the projector will not hold the

adjustments.

3. Tilt the projector left or right, up or down, or from side to side, until the top edge of
the projector image is parallel with the top edge of the interactive whiteboard.

14 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

To adjus t t h e

projector alignment

1. If the bottom edge of the projected image is smaller than the top edge of the
projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope inward toward the
bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector down or raise the projector’s
mounting boom to lower the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the
boom counter-clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not supplied) to raise the boom.

Center Hex Screw

2. If the bottom edge of the projected image is larger than the top edge of the
projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope outwards toward the
bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector up or lower the projector’s
mounting boom to raise the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the
boom clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not supplied) to lower the boom and tilt
the projector forward and back.

NOTE

The entire projected image may increase slightly in size during this process,
more so at the bottom of the projected image than at the top.

Projector Boom

15 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

3. Adjust the projected image’s horizontal alignment by turning the projector left or
right, until the top and bottom edges of the projected image are horizontal and
parallel.

NOTE

Don’t pay attention to the position of the left and right edges in relation to the
interactive whiteboard during this step.

4. Move your SMART Board interactive whiteboard left or right on its mounting
bracket to center the image on the interactive whiteboard.

5. If you haven’t already done so, loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint
to allow the projector to move backward and forward in the slot.

16 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

6. Move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger
or smaller.

NOTE

During this step, you may need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the
image square.

7. Focus the projector using the focus lever (located on the top of the projector).

NOTE

You may need to repeat all steps in smaller increments in order to fine-tune
the image.

8. Tighten the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint.

17 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

Securing the Pen Tray and the Interactive Whiteboard

Because the pen tray that comes with your SMART Board interactive whiteboard is
detachable, you may want to safeguard it—and the interactive whiteboard at the same
time—by anchoring it with a security cable.

IMPORTANT

• Securing the pen tray can provide theft deterrence for the interactive

whiteboard.

• The screws that secure the interactive whiteboard to the wall are located

directly behind the pen tray. You must remove the pen tray before you can
remove the interactive whiteboard. When you secure the pen tray, you also
secure the interactive whiteboard.

Underneath the pen tray, there is a Kensington® security slot that accommodates a
security cable, such as a Kensington lock.

To lock the pen tray to the

interactive whiteboard

Security Slot

1. Loop the security cable behind the pen tray brackets before you screw them to the
wall, and then thread the lock end of the cable through the loop end of the cable.

2. Verify that the cable is tight enough to prevent you from removing the pen tray
while the lock is in place.

3. Install the pen tray.

4. Insert the prong end of the security cable into the security slot, and then complete
the pen tray installation.

18 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Because you can remove the pen tray without tools, you may want to securely attach
it to its brackets.

To secure the pen tray to

the pen tray brackets

Insert two No. 8/M4 screws (not included) into the holes shown in the illustration
below.

NOTE

Older pen trays don’t have this feature.

Preventing Damage to Your Interactive Whiteboard

Although the SMART Board 600 series interactive whiteboard’s surface is very
durable, take these precautions to prevent damage to the interactive screen and to
other components.

• Don’t use sharp or pointed objects, such as ballpoint pens or pointers, as
writing tools.

• Never use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals when cleaning.

• Never leave adhesive tape on the writing surface for extended periods. Lifting
the tape may remove the coating that provides the interactive whiteboard’s
dry-erase capability.

• Avoid setting up and using your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive
levels of dust, humidity or smoke.

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Cleaning Your Interactive Whiteboard

For cleaning instructions, refer to your SMART Board 600 Series Interactive
Whiteboard Installation and User’s Guide (document 1414
SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free service. Follow
these tips to keep the screen surface clean:

NOTE

• Before you clean your interactive whiteboard, shut down the computer or
disconnect the USB cable connecting your interactive whiteboard to the computer.
Otherwise, you may inadvertently activate applications or scramble an attached
computer’s desktop icons when you clean the screen.

• Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers such as EXPO2®, because they can be
very difficult to remove. Use standard dry-erase (high-odor) markers that include a
warning to use them only in well-ventilated areas.

• Erase dry-erase ink as soon as possible after use. The longer dry-erase ink is on
the surface, the more difficult it is to remove.

). With proper care, your

• Remove excess dry-erase dust with a damp lint-free cloth before using a cleaner.

• If erasing doesn’t completely remove dry-erase ink, clean the writing surface with
a household glass cleaner (such as Windex®) daily, weekly or as required.

• Use a dry-erase marker cleaner if ink remains after erasing.

• Don’t allow glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the lower frame and the
writing surface, or into the pen tray recesses.

• Use isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains and ghosting.

To remove marks made with a permanent marker, use a cleaner such as the
Sanford® EXPO Dry Erase Board Doctor. Write directly over the permanent ink stain
with the product, allow the solution to dry completely and then wipe clean.

You can also use a high-odor dry-erase marker to remove marks from a permanent
marker because dry-erase ink contains solvents that can remove permanent ink.
Cover the permanent ink with the dry-erase ink and wipe with a lint-free cloth while the
ink is still wet. If any trace of the ink remains, spray a lint-free cloth with a glass or
whiteboard cleaner and wipe the area clean.

TIP

When removing permanent marker ink, don’t use low-odor or non-scented dry­erase markers. They don’t contain the appropriate solvents.

41 | CHAPTER 6 – MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Cleaning the Pen Tray

If the infrared sensors in the bottom of the pen tray’s recesses are obstructed, the
sensors don’t reliably detect when a pen or the eraser is removed or replaced. If the
LED indicators don’t turn on, the infrared sensors are obstructed which will prevent
the lifted tool on the interactive whiteboard from working.

Infrared Sensors

To clean a sensor, moisten a cotton swab with a household glass cleaner, such as
Windex, and carefully clean the infrared transmitter and receiver.

NOTE

There are no user serviceable parts inside the pen tray. Only qualified personnel
should disassemble the pen tray. If dust or a small object prevents you from
pressing a button, or causes a button to stick, remove the object carefully.

Cleaning the UF55/UF55w Projector

WARNING

Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall and injury.

the ECP or remote to put the system into Idle mode, and then 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.

IMPORTANT

Wipe the exterior of the projector using a lint-free cloth.

42 | CHAPTER 6 – MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 INTERACTIVE

WHITEBOARD SYSTEM

Cleaning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to clean the projector:

• Avoid touching the lens. If lens cleaning is necessary:

– Use liquids or commercial solvents (such as glass cleaners) to clean the lens,

but don’t spray them directly on the system.

– Use protective gloves and dip a lint-free cloth (such as Purestat® PW2004) in

an anti-static solvent (such as Hyperclean® EE-6310).

– Make sure you gently wipe the lens from the center to the outer area.

• Avoid spraying cleaner on the projector system. Spraying on the projector’s
components and lamp may result in damage and poor image quality.

The UF55/UF55w projector responds to commands only at certain power levels and
times. There are four projector power states:

•Idle

• Powering (startup)

• On (operating)

• Cooling (idle)

The embedded firmware program coordinates command sequencing and is capable
of buffering up to 127 commands. In each power state, the commands are buffered
until the system can process them. The ? command will list all available commands for
the current powerstate.

IMPORTANT

The system buffer can delay response times. Response times vary.

Command Inventory

The UF55/UF55w projector responds to the commands in the tables on the
following pages.

CAUTION

• Allow at least 15 minutes for cooling before sending the On command after

turning off the system. Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or
damage the interactive whiteboard system.
