When you transport the 3000i, lay the interactive whiteboard face down.
3
If you transport the 3000i over a distance, we strongly urge you to completely repackage it using the original packaging. This packaging for the 3000i 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.

Cleaning the Cabinet Components and Mirrors

Periodically dust mirrors and cabinet components using a soft cloth. You can clean all the mirrors using a standard, alcohol-free glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
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), pressure applied to the screen will activate program components or scramble desktop icons. We therefore recommend that you first log off, and then put the projector into standby mode to view dirt and streaks more effectively. To clean the writing surface of the interactive whiteboard, use a standard glass cleaner. Just spray the board with cleaning fluid and wipe with a paper towel.
Remove marks made with a permanent marker by completely covering them with the ink from a dry-erase marker ( 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.

In order to replace the lamp, you must first remove the projector from the cabinet. See page 40 of this manual and page E-53 in the replacing the lamp.
You should replace your projector lamp after 2000 hours (normal mode). The projector will turn off automatically and go into standby mode after 2100 hours (normal mode). To find out how many hours of lamp use remain, go to the projector menu and select

Preventing Damage to the Writing Surface

While the interactive whiteboard is very durable, sharp objects can scratch or cut the surface. Sharp writing instruments, such as ballpoint or fine-point pens, can damage the surface if enough pressure is applied. Keep these types of pens away from the interactive whiteboard and avoid abrasive erasers and cleaning materials.

Introduction

The 3000i is a slim integrated LCD projector and a 67" Super Screen is an interactive whiteboard designed for enhanced rear-projection clarity.) To enable rear projection capability, a mirror system in the cabinet redirects the projected image from your computer, VCR, DVD player or guest laptop onto the back of the interactive whiteboard screen. Without the distracting shadows of 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 surface.

A Control Panel next to the Pen Tray with easily accessible projector and volume controls
A Connection Panel at the rear of the cabinet that enables you to easily connect a guest

A touch-sensitive interactive whiteboard that enables you to do everything you can do at a
computer workstation − open files, conference with others, create new or edit existing documents, visit Internet sites, play video clips, etc. − simply by touching the interactive whiteboard. You can also write over any live application in electronic ink using a Pen Tray stylus or your finger, and then save your annotations to a SMART Notebook file for future reference and distribution.
Guest-laptop (or any external computer) support via a side-mounted shelf and laptop umbilical
(a harnessed cable assembly). Simply plug the audio, video, serial and power cables from the laptop umbilical into the appropriate ports on the guest laptop. The output from the laptop then displays on the 3000i screen, so you can control the laptop presentation by touching the interactive whiteboard (if SMART Board software has been installed on the laptop computer).
NOTE
: If the guest laptop does not have a serial port, use the SMART USB adapter (order
number USB-ADP) to complete the serial connection.

Using a Pen Tray Stylus
To write on top of the computer image, just pick up a stylus from the Pen Tray and write on the interactive whiteboard.
To write in a different color, place the current stylus back in its slot and select another. Since color recognition comes from the slots in the Pen Tray rather than the styluses themselves, you must ensure that each stylus is returned to its proper slot (the slot with the corresponding color) when you finish using it.
You also have the option of changing any or all of these styluses to highlighters, assigning one of 16 colors to them, or altering their width. You can also change the size of the area erased by the Pen Tray eraser.
To reconfigure the styluses or eraser, click on the interactive whiteboard driver icon in the system tray, select click on the Pen Tray tab.

The Control Panel allows you to adjust major aspects of the visual display, as well as the volume of the internal (or a connected external) sound system. The volume settings for individual input sources are retained. In other words, if you set the audio level differently for each device, these settings are preserved when you switch back and forth among devices.
