The SB18 Classroom Tablet
The SB18 is an 18.4” touchscreen PC, adapted to provide additional amplification, switch
connections, a mounting plate and our Servus environment control system.
General Care of the Machine
Cleaning
The touchscreen is best cleaned using a clean microfibre cleaning cloth.
To minimise the risk of infection, the machine should be cleaned with a detergent wipe. Optionally
this can be followed with an alcohol based wipe AFTER cleaning with the detergent wipe.
The machine should not be immersed in water, or cleaned with a wet cloth, gels, polishes or any
abrasive cleaning product.
Protection
Make sure that hard objects cannot press against the screen.
Avoid exposure to heavy rain. The screen seal will protect it against moisture, but the computer is
not designed to be waterproof.
Avoid hard knocks and dropping. The machines are sufficiently robust for normal use, but are not
designed to be stood on or dropped from a height.
Repairs
Do not attempt to open the SB18, as there are no user serviceable parts inside.

Mounting the SB18
The SB18 Classroom Tablet is fitted with a mounting plate, designed to work with Daessy and
REHAdapt mounting systems.
Mounting Safety
It is important to make sure you mount the device safely. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the device or injury to the user. Please read the
safety information that will come with the mounting equipment you use.
The SB18 is supplied with a special dual mounting plate, as shown in the
picture.
Floorstand Mounting
It is likely you will be using a floor stand similar to the one in the picture.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for assembly and
attaching to the SB18 Mounting Plate.
Be careful when adjusting the floor stand. It is advisable to remove the
device from the stand before you make any adjustments.

Connecting an Eye Tracker
It is likely that your SB18 Device has been supplied with an eye
tracker such as the Tobii PCEye Go or MyGaze.
To attach the eye tracker to the SB18 please place the camera
onto the magnetic mounting strip on the front on the SB18 and
then connect the USB cable to one of the spare USB Ports.
For help with setting up the eye tracker please refer to the
Smartbox Support Team or eye gaze camera
manufacturer’s handbook.
Switch input
There are 2 switch ports available on the SB18. Simply plug your switches
into the ports marked 1 and 2. The Grid 2 uses switch port 1 as the primary
switch input.
It is also possible to use a wireless switch transmitter with the SB18. If you
have purchased this from Smartbox it will already be paired with the device
and you simply plug in your switches to get started.
Other USB input
You can use any other USB input device with the SB18, including joysticks and
SmartNAV. Simply plug into one of the spare USB ports and install any drivers
provided by the manufacturer.
There are adjustable settings for all kinds of alternative input in The Grid 2.
Environment Control Overview
There are two types of environment controller included in the SB18.
Infrared
Infrared environment control can be trained to work with most household devices that have an
infrared remote control. This typically includes TVs and video systems, music centres and anything
else that comes supplied with an infrared remote controller.
Radio Control
The SB18 also contains a radio receiver that can be used to control a range of accessories supplied
by Smartbox. These include mains sockets and alarms.
