If you require replacement parts, ensure the service technician uses the replacement parts specified by SMART Technologies Inc. or parts with the same characteristics as the original.

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.

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.

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.

Main Power IN

Location of Main Power Inlet

Plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet.

Go to the front of the cabinet, open the front door, and turn on the computer's main power switch.

Turn on the projector lamp by pressing the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel (to the right of the SMART Pen Tray). The LED indicator beside this button should blink rapidly for thirty seconds, and then remain steadily illuminated when the projector lamp is powered up.

Use the Lamp On/Off button on the projector remote control or on the Control Panel on top of the projector to turn on the projector lamp.

After a brief, 30-second lamp pre-heat period, the 3000i screen will display an image.

You should now adjust the computer settings and image alignment, install the SMART Board software CD, configure the COM port, and perform a brief orientation procedure. These procedures are described in the following pages.

3000i Installation Guide

NOTE

: We recommend that you leave the computer and projector on at all times. However, you can set the computer to save power during periods of inactivity. The following section describes how to do this.

Adjusting Computer Power Settings

You may prefer to shut down and power off the computer inside the 3000i completely at the end of the day. In this case, you must open the front door and power up the computer every day.

For greater ease of use, we recommend that you keep the computer on all the time. However, to help preserve the computer's hard drive(s), and to conserve the life of the projector lamp (if users neglect to press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel at the end of their session), we would also recommend that you change the Windows Power Management feature of the internal computer so that the monitor and hard drive(s) automatically turn off after a specified period of inactivity. If you decide to adopt this recommendation, you should occasionally reboot the computer to reload the operating system.

Shutting off the monitor after a period of inactivity will also shut down the 3000i's projector lamp − but only if it has been configured to shut down five minutes after no new input signal is received. This has been done for you at our factory. However, if anyone changes the projector settings, the projector settings we've configured for you may be inadvertently toggled off. In the event the 3000i-optimized settings are lost, follow the procedure on page 48 to restore them.



If both the computer and projector are configured properly, a five-minute projector shutdown period will follow the designated period of computer inactivity. During the shutdown period, the interactive whiteboard screen will turn blue. If you change your mind and want to use the system again, you can restore the computer image by simply touching the screen. At the end of the five-minute shutdown period, the projector lamp shuts down completely and the screen will turn black.

We further recommend that you not activate a screen saver, regardless of whether you power the computer down daily or not. The benefit provided by the screen saver – to avoid image burn-in either in monitors or plasma displays – has no bearing on a projected system.

. This extended time period ensures that guest laptop presenters − or participants in lengthy meetings characterized by large gaps in activity − do not experience an unexpected computer shutdown.

Click the Apply button and then click OK.

When the period of inactivity specified in step 4 is reached, the RGB input signal from the computer ceases. If no other source is active, the projector itself will go into a fiveminute shutdown mode, during which time the screen will turn blue. After five minutes have elapsed, the projector will shut down completely and the screen will turn black.

During this five-minute projector shutdown period, touching the screen (or pressing a keyboard key) will immediately restore the input signal from the computer.

This method of quickly restoring the computer's video signal is especially handy when you're a passive participant in a lengthy data conference.

Adjusting the Projected Image

You may need to make a few final adjustments to the projector to ensure a focused image that fits on the interactive whiteboard screen. While making these adjustments, check both the reflection in the small mirror and the actual image on the screen. For an optimal image, the reflection must be in the center of the small mirror and each side must be symmetrical.

To adjust roll

Using the wrench provided in the Accessory Kit, loosen the Locking Screw below the projector. Tighten and loosen the large, round knob beside the Locking Screw until the image is correctly rotated. Finally, tighten the Locking Screw with the wrench until it's snug against the projector plate, and then give the screw a gentle quarter-turn.

WARNING

: If you tighten the security screw too much, you run the risk of distorting the

projector plate.

To adjust the image laterally

Loosen the two large, black T-knobs located below the projector plate. Slide the projector plate laterally, and then tighten the two T-knobs.

LED Indicator of Lamp Status

Projector Standby Button

When you're finished using the 3000i, or at the end of the day, press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel. The screen will turn black and the LED indicator will begin to blink very quickly. You’ll have a full five minutes to change your mind and instantly restore the system by pressing the Projector Standby button again. After five minutes, the projector will go into full standby mode: the projector lamp will be turned off, while the projector itself remains on.

You'll notice that the LED indicator beside the Projector Standby button will blink slowly for a short period of time before switching off. When the projector is next required, just press the Projector Standby button again. The LED indicator will blink quickly as the projector lamp warms up, and then turn to steady illuminated green when the projector lamp is ready for use.

Matching Computer Resolution to Projector Resolution

It's very important that computer and projector resolutions match. If they don't match, the onscreen image may not properly fill the screen.

You must first ensure that the projector is set to its optimal image resolution, which is 1024 x 768 (XGA). While the projector's user manual may indicate that resolutions other than the optimal one are permitted, you should avoid setting the projector to any other resolution than 1024 x 768. Next, ensure that the computer resolution is also set to 1024 x 768.

Logging off greatly enhances system security. It also provides subsequent users with a consistent initial interface – the system logon screen – after they've powered up the projector lamp.

Press the Projector Standby button to power down the projector lamp.

Pressing the Projector Standby button preserves the life of the projector lamp and conserves power. See

Perform this procedure at the end of a meeting or presentation and at the end of the day. If you prefer, you can also shut down the computer.

However, we recommend logging off rather than shutting down the computer, as it simplifies 3000i use.

Turning the Projector Lamp On and Off

(below) for more details.

Turning the Projector Lamp On and Off

You should put the projector into standby mode (i.e., with the projector lamp turned off) at the end of a meeting or the workday rather than turning it off or unplugging it. We recommend that you keep the projector power on all the time, unless the 3000i will not be used for an extended period. If this is the case, the cabinet itself should be unplugged.

When the projector is in its active state and you press the Projector Standby button, the projector is first put into a black, the projector lamp remains on so that the image can be immediately restored if necessary.

Press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel.

The screen appears black and the LED indicator next to the button will blink very quickly for a five-minute period to indicate a state of reversible standby. In addition, none of the source LEDs will be lit. Pressing the Projector Standby button again during this period will instantly restore the system.

After the five-minute reversible standby period, the LED indicator will blink slowly for approximately 30 seconds while the lamp is powered down. When the lamp is turned off, none of the LED indicators in the Control Panel will be lit.

NOTE

: To turn the lamp off quickly (skipping the reversible standby period), press the OFF button on the projector remote control.

To power down the projector (if unused for an extended period)

Press the Projector Standby button on the Control Panel.

The LED indicator next to the Projector Standby button blinks rapidly for five minutes (reversible standby) and slowly for approximately 30 seconds while the lamp powers down. When the lamp is off, the LED indicator is no longer illuminated.

Using the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard

Once SMART Board software is installed on the internal computer, and the interactive whiteboard is configured and oriented, you’re ready to use the 3000i. To get the most from your interactive whiteboard, you must have both the SMART Board tools and SMART Notebook software open and running.

SMART Board Tools

The SMART Board tools provide all the functionality beyond basic touch control and Pen Tray button use. Specifically, the SMART Board tools provide you with annotation and toolconfiguration capabilities. It's important to note that the

SMART Notebook Software

Notebook software provides many object-creation tools that allow you to create a variety of annotations within Notebook files. Notebook software commands also enable you to import graphics, text, clip art and entire files from any other application into your Notebook file. But Notebook software is much more than just an electronic flip chart for displaying presentations or capturing notes in a brainstorming session. It also serves as a receptacle for anything you write on the interactive whiteboard

over any application.

As soon as you begin writing over an application with a Pen Tray stylus, a toolbar appears that lets you save a bitmap image of both your annotation and the underlying application with the press of a button. Macintosh computer users can access the same annotation-capture capability from the SMART Board tools menu. The captured image is automatically placed on a new page of the current Notebook file.

We recommend that you put these programs into your Startup folder, either during SMART Board software installation or later. If these programs are not in your Startup folder, you’ll need to activate them each time the internal computer is powered up. This process is described below.

To open SMART Board tools and SMART Notebook software

Appendix A: Disassembling the 3000i

Disassembling your 3000i is only necessary if you need to move the cabinet through a low doorway, or if a cabinet component requires replacement or repair.

NOTE

: Two people are required to perform these procedures safely.

To remove the interactive whiteboard

Loosen the four captive fasteners on the back corners of the interactive whiteboard using a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver. Start with the two bottom fasteners; then loosen the two at the top (you may require a step stool to reach these fasteners).

NOTE

: Maintain constant pressure on the screwdriver to avoid damaging the screw holes.

Corner Captive

Fasteners

NOTE

: Even after the captive fasteners have been completely loosened, the interactive

whiteboard will remain suspended on two keyhole slots near the top of the cabinet.

3000i Installation Guide

Facing the front of the cabinet, pull the bottom of the screen out slightly and disconnect the MOD4 cable (connecting the interactive whiteboard to the Pen Tray) from the miniRJ11 socket. You'll find this cable underneath the bottom edge of the screen, in the center.

With one person on each side, grasp the screen by the top and bottom corners. Lift the screen up and then out to free it from the two keyhole slots that support it. Set the screen down in a safe location.

WARNING:

Never touch the back of the screen. If you do smudge this surface, lightly spray alcohol-free glass cleaner on a soft cloth and dab the affected area to remove the marks. Never apply isopropyl alcohol, water or acetone, as these fluids can damage the diffusion coating and permanently reduce the display quality.

3000i Installation Guide

Remove the four caps and plugs from the mounting arm at the location where you want to mount the shelf. Feed the cables for the videoconferencing camera through the large hole, down the channel and through the lower mounting point.

NOTE

: Cables shown may not match those required by your videoconferencing camera.

If you're installing the mounting arm on the same side as the infrared receiver (IR), detach the receiver and leave it temporarily dangling. Carefully slide the mounting arm onto the side of the cabinet, ensuring that the cables remain in the channel and are not pinched.

3000i Installation Guide

Use the three supplied 1/4-20 x ¾" fasteners in place of the 1/4-20 x ½" fasteners (removed in step 1) to secure the mounting arm to the cabinet. The safety screw is now replaced.

NOTE

: Now that you've replaced the safety screw, you can safely move and lift the

cabinet.

Hook the shelf to the keyholes in the mounting arm, tightening the thumbscrew to secure the shelf.
