Important information

WARNING

l Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with the interactive flat panel could

result in injury and product damage which may not be covered by the warranty.

l Do not open or disassemble the interactive flat panel. You risk electrical shock from the high

voltage inside the casing. Opening the casing also voids the warranty.

panel. Rather, mount the product at the appropriate height.

l To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the interactive flat panel to rain or

moisture.

l If the interactive flat panel requires replacement parts, make sure the service technician

uses replacement parts specified by SMARTTechnologies or parts with the same

characteristics as the original.

l Ensure that any cables that cross the floor to the interactive flat panel are properly bundled

and marked to avoid a trip hazard.

l Useonly extension cords and outlets that can fully accommodate the interactive flat panel’s

polarized plug.

l Use the power cable provided with the interactive flat panel. If a power cable is not

supplied with the interactive flat panel, please contact your supplier. Use only power cables

that match the AC voltage of the power outlet and that comply with your country’s safety

standards.

l If the glass is broken, do not touch the liquid crystal. To prevent injury, handle glass

fragments with care when disposing of them.

l Use only VESA®-approved mounting hardware.

l Do not insert objects inside the cabinet ventilation holes, because they could touch

dangerous voltage points and cause electric shock, fire or product damage which may not

be covered by the warranty.

l Do not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Damage to the cable could cause

shock, fire or product damage which may not be covered by the warranty.

MOUNTING YOUR INTERACTIVEFLATPANEL

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:

Model Weight

SMARTBoard 4055 116 lb (53 kg)

SMARTBoard 4065 153 lb (69.4)

SMARTBoard 4075 189 lb (86 kg)

SMARTBoard 4084 238 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.

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 SMARTBoard 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 SMARTBoard

interactive flat panel.

IMPORTANT

l The SMARTBoard 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 page13).

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

page15).

2. Ensure that the Display tab is visible. Select the interactive flat panel from the display drop

down menu.
