Chapter 2
Before mounting the interactive flat panel7
Choosing a mounting location9
Choosing a mounting height9
To mount your SMARTBoard 4000 series 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:
l Review the environmental requirements in the interactive flat panel’s specifications (see
Specifications on page5).
l Save 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).

CHAPTER 2
MOUNTING YOUR INTERACTIVEFLATPANEL
Choosing a mounting location
Consider the following when you select a location for the interactive flat panel:
l Choose 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.
l The 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:
ModelWeight
SMARTBoard 4055116 lb (53 kg)
SMARTBoard 4065153 lb (69.4)
SMARTBoard 4075189 lb (86 kg)
SMARTBoard 4084238 lb (108 kg)
l Select 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.

Cleaning the screen
CAUTION
l Do not use permanent or dry-erase markers on the screen. If dry-erase markers are used on
the screen, remove the ink as soon as possible with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.
l Do not rub the screen with a dense or rough material.

Page 35
CHAPTER 4
USING YOUR INTERACTIVEFLATPANEL
Preventing condensation
The interactive flat panel screen contains layers of glass that can collect condensation, especially
in the following conditions:
l Temperature extremes with high humidity
l Rapid changes in humidity, which can occur when you operate the product near water (such as
a pool, kettle or air conditioner ventilator)
l Direct exposure to sunlight
l Cold air output from an air conditioner towards the bottom of the interactive flat panel.
To evaporate condensation from the interactive flat panel
1. Remove the humidity source from the interactive flat panel, if possible.
2. Turn off the interactive flat panel.
3. Remove any moisture from the interactive flat panel with a smooth, dry cloth.
4. Leave the interactive flat panel turned off for 48 hours.
Cleaning the touch sensors
The interactive flat panel uses infrared (IR) transmitters and sensors around perimeter between the
screen and the frame. Dust buildup on the protective plastic can impair touch performance. Inspect
these areas for dust and clean them every week.
CAUTION
l Do not use compressed air to clean the sensors or borders.
l Do not use water or cleaning agents to clean the touch sensors.
l Don’t apply too much pressure when cleaning the interactive flat panel because you can
damage the plastic causing performance issues.
To clean the IR transmitters and sensors
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, gently wipe the protective plastic between the screen and the
frame around the perimeter the interactive flat panel screen.
2. If dirt still remains, use 50% isopropyl alcohol (IPS) solution to clean the protective plastic
between the screen and the frame.

If your SMARTBoard 4000 series interactive flat panel has an inaccurate touch or the touch is not
working, you may need to calibrate it. Follow the instructions below to calibrate your SMARTBoard
interactive flat panel.
IMPORTANT
l The SMARTBoard interactive flat panel is factory calibrated. We recommend that you
resolve touch inaccuracy through configuration before calibration (see Configuring touch
and display settings for your interactive flat panel on page13).
l Calibration should only be performed by an administrator.
Calibrating your interactive flat panel with
Windows operating systems
When you calibrate the IFP for the first time in Windows 7, the screen uses 16 reference points.
Initial calibration applies to all users of the interactive flat panel. Later calibrations use only 4 points
and apply only to your user account (see windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/getting-more-
out-of-your-tablet-pc).
To calibrate your interactive flat panel
1. Open Control Panel > Tablet and PC Settings.
NOTE
If you’re using multiple monitors, ensure that you have identified the interactive flat panel as
the touch screen with Windows operation systems (see Setting up multiple displays on
page15).
2. Ensure that the Display tab is visible. Select the interactive flat panel from the display drop
down menu.
