Important information

WARNING

• Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART Table™ could result in personal injury and product damage.

• Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to your SMART Table are properly bundled and marked to prevent a tripping hazard.

• Make sure an electrical socket is near your SMART Table and remains easily accessible during use.

• Lock the casters before allowing children to use your SMART Table.

• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on your SMART Table. Climbing on your SMART Table could result in personal injury and product damage.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your SMART Table to rain or moisture.

• Use caution when servicing your SMART Table’s internal parts even after you disconnect the power. The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) continues to provide dangerous voltages to the computer and projector after you disconnect the AC power source.

• Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into the projector’s beam of light.

• Do not attempt to service the projector other than performing routine lamp replacement. Only an authorized service provider should provide service. Aside from the lamp module, there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.

• Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp replacement instructions.

• Do not touch or replace the projector lamp (which will be very hot) for at least an hour after shutdown. Touching the lamp can cause severe burns.

• Do not puncture, crush, heat or disassemble the remote control battery, expose it to fire or any liquid, short its terminals, or abuse the battery in any other way because this may cause the battery to explode or ignite, and could cause a fire or personal injury.

ii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• If the remote control battery leaks, ensure that you do not get battery fluid in your eye. If you do, immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.

• Do not install the remote control battery backwards or reverse its polarity. Do not install battery types other than the one specified in the documentation. Both of these actions can cause damage to the remote control and can cause a fire or personal injury.

CAUTION

• Disconnect the power cable only after you turn off the table as documented in this guide and the indicator lights and fans turn off. Disconnecting the power cable at any other time can cause shorten the life of the projector lamp.

• Do not place cords, boxes or other items on the surface of your SMART Table. Doing so can scratch the surface.

• If your SMART Table becomes wet, dry it completely before turning it on.

• SMART Technologies recommends that you use the remote control to complete only the procedures documented in this guide. Using the remote control for other purposes may change the projector’s settings, which were specifically configured for the SMART Table.

IMPORTANT

• Do not operate your SMART Table’s projector in environments that are higher than 10,000' (3000 m) above sea level.

• Your SMART Table is sensitive to infrared light. Turn off or remove any pot lights or other incandescent lighting in the room and close any open blinds or curtains before calibrating your SMART Table.

• Your SMART Table’s surface does not respond to touch until the computer completes its startup process. Wait 30 to 60 seconds after turning on your SMART Table before touching the surface.

• Before you clean your SMART Table, turn it off so that you do not inadvertently start applications when you wipe the surface.

• Do not place keyboards, mouse devices or other objects on the touch surface. The camera may interpret these objects as touches if they are placed on the touch surface.

• This product contains lithium button cell batteries in the computer and the remote control (perchlorate material—special handling may apply).

Overview

This guide is intended for teachers and support staff. It introduces you to the SMART Table interactive learning center and explains how to use, maintain and troubleshoot your table.

About your SMART Table

Your SMART Table is an interactive learning center with a touch-sensitive surface. By touching the surface, students can create, select, move and resize digital objects. More than one student can touch the surface at a time. This encourages collaboration and cooperation as students learn and play together.

Using the Wi-Fi® network connection to a SMART Sync™ Teacher computer, a teacher can observe the student’s activities from a distance, take control of the table, and capture and print the tabletop image.

2 | CHAPTER 1 – OVERVIEW

The software on your SMART Table includes interactive applications, learning activities and educational games. You can customize the activities using the SMART Table Toolkit. Install and run the toolkit on your computer and then transfer your changes to the SMART Table using the USB bracelet or SMART Sync software.

NOTE

SMART Sync software is included with your toolkit. Other versions of SMART Sync may not be compatible with the toolkit. Contact SMART Technical Support for more information.

You can use your SMART Table with other SMART products as part of an overall learning solution. For example, you can introduce a new concept to students on a SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard, and then ask the students to explore the idea in detail using the SMART Table.

How your SMART Table works

Your SMART Table contains five main components:

•Computer

•Projector

• Speakers

•Camera

•Surface

The computer runs the SMART Table software, the projector projects the computer’s display onto the surface, the speakers play the computer’s audio and the camera detects students’ touch on the surface. Combined, these components allow students to interact with SMART Table software.

The computer, projector, speakers and camera are inside the SMART Table’s cabinet, while the surface is on the SMART Table’s top. The UPS provides backup power to the computer if power is unexpectedly disconnected from the SMART Table, allowing the computer to shut down safely.

Your SMART Table uses DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology to detect multiple students’ touches. Other SMART products use DViT technology, including select SMART Board interactive whiteboards, SMART Board interactive displays and SMART Podium™ interactive pen displays.
