Other Warnings and Safety Precautions

For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, follow these instructions.

1. Move the unit with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces can overturn the unit.

2. When you transport the 2000i, only ship it in an upright position and never lay the interactive whiteboard face down.

3. If you transport the 2000i over a distance, we strongly urge you to completely repackage it using the original packaging. This packaging was designed with optimal shock and vibration protection. If the original packaging is no longer available, pack all components with as much padding as reasonably possible to ensure that they are not exposed to excessive vibration or shock.

4. Clean the interactive whiteboard surface on a regular basis. Otherwise, dust may build up on the surface, adversely affecting the operation of the 2000i.

5. Do not touch the rear surface of the screen or apply isopropyl alcohol, water or acetone. If any of these fluids come into contact with this surface, the diffusion coating will be damaged, resulting in a permanent deterioration in display quality.

6. If you inadvertently smudge the rear surface of the screen, wipe it carefully with a soft cloth and alcohol-free glass cleaner. Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the back of the screen; spray it lightly on the cloth, and then gently dab the rear surface until the marks are removed.

Important Information

7. The 2000i uses digital cameras that are located inside the screen frame. Do not allow excess glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the frame and the writing surface, because the cleaner could damage these cameras.

8. Avoid setting up and using the 2000i in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity or cigarette smoke.

9. Avoid exposing the 2000i to extreme heat or cold. The operating temperature range is from 41°F to 85°F (5 storage range is from -4°F to 95°F (-20

C to 29°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing). The shipping and

C to 35°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing).

10. Unplug the unit during electrical storms or if you won't use it for an extended period of time.

11. This product has a three-wire grounding-type plug, which will only fit into an AC grounding-type power outlet. Make sure an AC socket outlet is near the 2000i and remains easily accessible during use. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, have your electrician replace the obsolete outlet. Do not circumvent the safety features of the grounding-type plug.

12. Handle the power cord carefully and avoid excessive bending. Route the power cord so it’s unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it. Do not modify the power cord.

13. If you require replacement parts, ensure the service technician uses replacement parts that are specified by SMART Technologies Inc., or parts with the same characteristics as the original.

About the 2000i

The Rear Projection SMART Board 2000i interactive whiteboard is a height adjustable, rear projection system with an integrated LCD projector and a 67" (170.2 cm) diagonal interactive SMART Super Screen.

To enable rear projection capability, a mirror system redirects the projected image from your computer, VCR, DVD player or guest laptop onto the back of the interactive whiteboard screen, eliminating the distracting shadows that sometimes occurs with a front projection system. You can then perform any normal computer operation, such as opening or closing an application, scrolling through a file, or opening your browser, just by touching the screen. If you’ve purchased the XPort™ 20 option, you can switch between three different projector input sources with the press of a Control Panel button.

With SMART’s recently developed Digital Vision Touch (DViT™) technology, the 2000i uses digital cameras to track objects on the interactive whiteboard. Each camera is calibrated to recognize the position of a pen tray tool or your finger on the screen surface and to send this information to the computer, which translates it as mouse clicks or electronic ink.

Features

• A touch sensitive, rear-projection interactive whiteboard that enables you to do everything you can do at a computer workstation − open files, conference with others, create new documents or edit existing ones, visit Internet sites, play video clips, etc. − simply by touching the screen. You can also write over any live application in electronic ink using a pen tray stylus or your finger, and then save these annotations to a Notebook file for future reference and distribution.

• An integrated 1600 ANSI lumen, SVGA (800 x 600) projector with short-throw lens

• An audio system and a pen tray (including four styluses and an eraser)

• A Control Panel next to the pen tray with easily accessible projector, and volume controls,

as well as a Display Source button (for changing the input source for the projector)

• A videoconferencing/laptop shelf

• A height adjustment handle that raises and lowers the screen from 69" (175.3 cm) to 83"

(210.8 cm)

• Audio jacks at the rear of the unit let you connect audio output from a laptop, a VCR or DVD player, or a room audio system

• Minimal floor space requirements. The 2000i fits easily through any standard doorway for true room-to-room mobility.

Quick Start Instructions

1 Display Source Button

Press this button to select the display source for the projector. Each press selects the next source in a three-source sequence: the host computer (source 1), a connected guest laptop (source 2) and a VCR or DVD player (source 3). The LED indicators on the right indicate the current display source. When you select a display source, the next LED in the sequence flashes briefly while the source changes and then remains steadily illuminated when the source is active. When you switch from source 1 to source 2, and then pause for at least 60 seconds, you'll automatically return to source 1 when you next press the Display Source button.

NOTE: You can switch from Source 1 to Source 2 only if the X-Port 20 switch option is installed. Without this option, you switch from source 1 (computer) directly to source 3 (VCR/DVD player) when you press the Display Source button.

2,3,4 Volume, Brightness and Contrast

Press the arrow buttons to adjust the volume, brightness and contrast for the current input source. If you have the X-Port 20 switch option installed, the 2000i retains your settings for each source.

The default level of brightness and contrast is 50%, and the default level of sound is 0. To restore the defaults for any setting, press the up and down buttons simultaneously.

5 Projector Standby Button

Press this green button to power on the projector lamp. When you're finished, press it to put the projector into reversible standby mode for five minutes. In reversible standby, the screen appears black, but the projector lamp remains on, allowing you to quickly restore the display by pressing any button on the Control Panel. After five minutes, the lamp powers down. After an additional 60 seconds, full standby mode is reached.

If you prefer, you can skip the five-minute reversible period: Press and hold the Projector Standby button for a few seconds until the "Please Wait a Moment" message appears at the bottom of the screen. Release the button and the lamp starts powering down, reaching full standby mode in 60 seconds.

Use the following table to determine the status of the projector lamp.

Figure 9: Projector Standby Button and LED Indicator

Press the Lamp On/Off button on the projector remote control (or on top of the projector) to turn on the projector lamp.

After a 30-second lamp warm-up period, the screen displays an image.

You should now adjust the computer power settings and image alignment, install the SMART Board software CD, configure the COM port, and perform a brief orientation procedure. To do this, follow the procedures described in the pages that follow.

NOTE: You should leave the computer and projector main power switch on at all times (so the projector is either in use, with the lamp illuminated, or in standby mode). However, you can set the computer to save power during periods of inactivity. The following section describes how to do this.

2000I Installation Guide

Adjusting the Power Settings

For greater ease of use, you should keep the computer on all the time. However, to help preserve the computer's hard drive(s), and the life of the projector lamp, you should also set the monitor and hard drive(s) to turn off automatically after a specified period of inactivity. You can do this by configuring the Windows operating system Power Management Feature. If you do keep the computer on all the time, reboot the computer occasionally to reload the operating system.

NOTE: You may prefer to shut the computer down at the end of the day. In this case, power up the computer every day.

On shipment, the projector is configured to shut down five minutes after no new input signal is received, so if the monitor shuts off after a period of inactivity, so will the projector lamp. However, if anyone changes the projector settings, the projector settings we've configured for you may be inadvertently toggled off. If this happens, follow the procedure on page 41 to restore the optimal settings.

If both the computer and projector are configured properly, a five-minute projector shutdown period follows the designated period of computer inactivity. During the shutdown period, the interactive whiteboard screen turns blue. If you change your mind and want to use the system again, you can restore the computer display by simply touching the screen. At the end of the shutdown period, the projector lamp shuts down completely and the screen turns black.

You should avoid using a screen saver, regardless of whether you power the computer down daily or not. The benefit of a screen saver – to avoid image burn-in, either on monitors or plasma displays – has no bearing on a projected system.

NOTE: You can't adjust the power settings on Windows NT 4.0 systems, so the computer must be left on with full power, or shut down at the end of the day and started up again.

To adjust the computer's default power settings

1. Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, point to Settings and select Control Panel.

2. Double-click Display and click the Screen Saver tab.

3. Under Energy saving features of monitor, click the Settings button.

The Power Management Properties dialog box appears.

4. Select After 1 hour from the Turn off monitor list.

NOTE: This is a recommended setting. You can select any duration you want.

5. In the Turn off hard disks list, select the period of inactivity that must elapse before hard disk shutdown.

NOTE: For the above step, we recommend that you select After 2 hours. This extended time period ensures that guest laptop presenters − or participants in lengthy meetings characterized by large gaps in activity − do not experience an unexpected hard disk shutdown.

6. Click the Apply button and then click OK.

When the system reaches the period of inactivity specified in step 4, the computer stops sending an RGB signal. If no other source is active, the projector goes into a five-minute shutdown mode, during which time the screen turns blue. After five minutes, the projector shuts down completely and the screen turns black.

NOTE: To immediately restore the input signal from the computer during this five-minute projector shutdown period, touch the screen (or press a keyboard key). This function is especially handy when you're a passive participant in a lengthy data conference.

Adjusting the Projected Image

You may need to adjust the projector to achieve a focused image that fits on the screen. Complete the four adjustment procedures that follow only as required. For the first three, (roll, side-to-side and image-size adjustment), you must watch the image on the back of the screen while making adjustments. You’ll also need to remove the view port cover (attached with hook-and-loop fastener strips) at the rear of the unit to access the adjustment hardware.

View Port Cover

Figure 10: Location of the View Port Cover

• a 3.5 mm (both ends) audio cable for the laptop audio

NOTE: Without the X-Port 20 switch option, you cannot control the laptop display by touching the screen, nor will you be able to switch between the host computer and a guest laptop

Controlling a Guest Laptop by Touching the Screen

You can control a connected laptop presentation by touching the screen only if you:

• purchase and install the X-Port 20 switch option for the 2000i

• install SMART Board software on the laptop

The X-Port 20 unit is an RS-232 serial switch that provides a serial connection from the laptop, enabling the laptop user to both write over top of the displayed laptop image with a pen tray stylus and control the contents of the laptop by touching the screen. In addition, it allows you to switch between the laptop, the resident computer and a VCR/DVD player using the Control Panel at the front of the 2000i.

Complete instructions for installing the X-Port 20 switch and connecting a guest laptop are in the X- Port 20 Switch Option Installation Guide that comes with the option kit.

Starting Up the 2000i

The projector in your 2000i should always remain on; only the power to the projector lamp is switched on and off at the Control Panel. For greater ease of operation, you should also keep the computer on all the time. With the projector and computer always on, starting up the 2000i requires only that you restore power to the projector lamp (by pressing the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel) and then enter your user name and password at the logon screen.

NOTE: To preserve the computer's hard drive(s) and the projector lamp, you may want to put the computer hard drive and monitor into standby mode. Refer to page 9 for instructions.

To start up the 2000i

1. If the screen is black, press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel to power up the projector lamp. The LED indicator beside that button should blink moderately fast for approximately 30 seconds, and then remain illuminated when the lamp is fully powered up.

2. If you see a logon screen, use the connected keyboard to enter your logon ID and password, and then press the OK button.

If the screen turns from black to blue (with a SMART logo) – and no logon screen appears – you may need to power up the computer or restore it from a standby setting. Open the front door and turn the computer on, or press the reset button (if required).

3. To connect a guest laptop, refer to page 23.

The table on the next page summarizes the possible startup scenarios and what you should do in each situation.

The SMART Board tools provide all the functionality beyond basic touch control and pen tray button use. Specifically, the SMART Board tools provide you with annotation and tool-configuration capabilities. It's important to note that the SMART Board tools must be running to use the pen tray styluses and eraser. In other words, if you want to write on your interactive whiteboard with a pen tray stylus, make sure the SMART Board icon appears in the system tray (Windows operating system) or menu bar (Macintosh computer).

Notebook Software

Notebook software provides many object-creation tools that allow you to create a variety of annotations within Notebook files. Notebook software commands also enable you to import graphics, text, clip art and entire files from any other application into your Notebook file. But Notebook software is much more than just an electronic flip chart for displaying presentations or capturing notes in a brainstorming session. It also serves as a receptacle for anything you write on the interactive whiteboard over any application.

If you want to capture annotations you make with a pen tray stylus over other programs, select Screen Capture from the View menu and then minimize the Notebook window. A three-button Screen Capture toolbar will float on top of all your applications. You can now capture your annotation with a press of a button. Macintosh computer users can access the same annotationcapture capability from the SMART Board Tools menu. The captured image is automatically placed on a new page of the current Notebook file.

To open SMART Board tools and Notebook software

1. Select Start > Programs > SMART Board Software > SMART Board Tools.

The SMART Board icon will appear in the system tray.

2. Click the SMART Board icon and select Notebook.

If you plan on writing into Notebook software, leave the Notebook window open and maximized. If you want an even larger area for writing or brainstorming, select Slide Show from the View menu. If you want to capture annotations you make with a pen tray stylus over other programs, minimize the Notebook window after selecting Screen Capture from the View menu

To summarize, the SMART Board tools and Notebook software:

• collaborate on electronic documents in front of a group

• write or draw over any application with a pen tray stylus, and then capture an image of

your notes into Notebook software

• create and edit a wide variety of annotation objects with either the pen tray pens or

Notebook software commands

• convert your handwriting to typed text with an easy-to-use handwriting recognition feature

• save, print or e-mail a complete record of everything written, drawn or typed into SMART

Notebook software

Enabling/Disabling Multipointer Mode (DViT Technology)

The SMART Board Control Panel opens.

2. In the Boards tab, press the Advanced button.

The Edit Advanced Board Settings dialog box opens.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Interactive Whiteboard and other Components

Clean the interactive whiteboard surface on a regular basis. Otherwise, dust may build up on the surface, adversely affecting the operation of the 2000i.

Do not spray the glass cleaner directly onto the screen surface. Instead, spray it lightly on the cloth and then gently wipe. The 2000i uses digital cameras that are located inside the frame. If you allow excess glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the frame and the writing surface, the fluid could damage the cameras.

Before you clean the interactive whiteboard, log off the computer. If you touch the screen when the computer is in any other state (e.g., with a program open or at the desktop), you may activate program components or scramble desktop icons. After you log off, put the projector into standby mode so you can easily see dirt and streaks.

Remove marks made with a permanent marker by completely covering them with the ink from a dry-erase marker (not a low-odor marker). Then wipe with a soft cloth. Dry-erase ink contains solvents that work to remove permanent ink. If any trace of the original permanent ink remains, spray the area with standard glass or whiteboard cleaner and wipe clean.

After writing on the screen surface, you may notice marks that appear to be scratches in the screen material. These are actually plastic from the stylus that has been deposited on the surface when the stylus has been pressed very hard. These marks are easily removed by applying gentle pressure with your thumbnail back and forth across the mark. Afterwards, it's advisable to clean the area with whiteboard cleaner as described above.

The back of the interactive whiteboard screen is well protected from handling by its location on the inside of the unit. However, if it must be dusted, or if a mark has been made on its surface, dab it gently with a soft cloth sprayed with standard, alcohol-free glass cleaner. Do not apply the cleaner directly to the surface.

Periodically dust the mirrors and unit components using a soft cloth. To clean the mirrors, use a standard, alcohol-free glass cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Do not, under any circumstances, apply isopropyl alcohol, water or acetone to the rear surface of the interactive whiteboard screen. Any of these fluids could damage the diffusion coating, resulting in a permanent deterioration in display quality.

Cleaning the Projector

Before you clean the projector, make sure it's unplugged.

NOTE: Don't unplug the power cable while the hourglass icon or the message "Please Wait a Moment" appears on the screen, or while the POWER or STATUS indicators are alternately flashing.

Periodically clean the projector casing with a damp cloth. If it is heavily soiled you can use a mild detergent, but don't use strong detergent or a solvent, such as alcohol or thinner. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, being careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

2000I Installation Guide

Cleaning: Filter and Clearing the Filter-Cleaning Message

Clean the air-filter sponge with a vacuum after every 100 hours of operation (more often in dusty conditions) as described on page E-54 of the NEC MT1065/MT1060/860 User's Manual.

A "Please Clean Filter" message from the projector will appear on the bottom of the screen after every 100 hours of operation. However, after cleaning the filter this message will not automatically disappear. You must use the projector remote control to clear the filter usage meter, as follows:

1. Press the Menu button on the projector remote control.

2. Select Advanced Menu > Projector Options > Menu > Setup. Click the Page 4 tab and then click the Clear Filter Usage Meter button.

The meter will be returned to zero. You won't receive another "Please Clean Filter" message for another 100 hours.

Replacing the Projector Lamp and Filter

Replace the lamp when you see this message "The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp." To do this, order a replacement standard lamp or extended life lamp from your NEC or SMART dealer.

NOTE: Your projector is shipped with a NEC MT60LPS extended life lamp.

In general, you should replace your projector lamp after 4000 hours (extended life lamp) or 2000 hours (standard lamp/normal mode). The projector will turn off automatically and go into standby mode after 2100 hours (standard lamp/normal mode) or 4100 hours (extended life lamp).

To find out how many hours of lamp use remain, go to the projector menu and select Help > Information > Page 4 tab. Replacing the used lamp with a new lamp automatically clears the lamp usage hours. When you replace the projector lamp, you should also replace the projector filter. You'll automatically receive this filter with the replacement lamp.

Only replace the projector lamp with the NEC MT60LP standard lamp or the NEC MT60LPS extended life lamp available from NEC or SMART. Do not use any other lamps. You'll find instructions for replacing the lamp on page E-53 in the NEC MT1065/1060/860 User's Manual.

WARNING

After you turn off the projector, allow at least one minute to elapse before you unplug it. Do not touch or replace the projector lamp (which will be very hot) for at least an hour.

Après avoir éteint le projecteur, attendez au moins une minute avant de le débrancher. Attendez au moins une heure avant de toucher ou de remplacer la lampe du projecteur (qui sera très chaude).

Stecken Sie den Projektor für mindestens eine Minute nach dem Abschalten nicht aus. Berühren oder ersetzen Sie die Projektorlampe (die sehr heiß sein wird) nicht vor Ablauf einer Stunde.

プロジェクターの電源を切った後、最低でも 1 分間はプロジェクターのプラグを抜かないでください。プロジェクターのラ

ンプは非常に熱くなりますので、最低でも 1 時間は触ったり交換したりしないでください。

2000i Installation Guide 35

CAUTION

Never touch the back of the screen or brush against it with your head while you're examining internal unit components. If you do smudge this surface,

lightly spray alcohol-free glass cleaner onto a soft cloth and lightly dab the affected area to remove the marks. Never apply isopropyl alcohol, water or acetone, as these fluids will damage the diffusion coating and permanently reduce the display quality.

WARNING

To avoid an electric shock, do not remove any screws except the two lampcase screws.

Pour éviter tout risque de choc électrique, ne retirez aucune vis, à l’exception des deux vis d’accès aux lampes.

Para evitar descargas eléctricas, no quite ningún tornillo excepto los de las dos lámparas.

Um einen elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden, dürfen Sie mit Ausnahme der beiden Lampengehäuseschrauben keine Schrauben entfernen.

感電の恐れがありますので、ランプケースの 2 つのねじ以外に、ねじは取り外さないようにしてください。
