Install your SMARTproducts according to SMART installation guidelines, making sure the cable routes are
managed and contained. Prior to receiving your SMARTproducts, you should have been given the pre-
installation checklist to address moving the display, preparing the wall mount, installing on a mobile stand,
and selecting and properly extending cables. At the end of the pre-installalation checklist is a workbook
that will help you address those items.
Use the following checklists alongside the SMART Board interactive display illustrated installation
instructions, installation and maintenance guide, user guide, the pre-installation information, and the post
installation checklist.
Printed illustrated installation instructions can be found in the accessory box in the mail slot of the SMART
product. You can also find a PDF of the illustrated installation instructions on the SMARTproduct’s support
site.
Please refer to these printed and online materials to assist with mounting your SMART product.
