ii | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Safety Warnings, Cautions and Important Information
WARNINGS – GENERAL
• Failure to follow the installation instructions included with your interactive
whiteboard, or found in this guide, could result in personal injury or product
damage.
• Two people are required to safely mount the projector boom and the
interactive whiteboard on a wall because the items might be too heavy for one
person to maneuver onto their wall-mounting brackets.
• Do not leave cables on the floor where they can be a tripping hazard. If you
must run a cable over the floor, lay it in a flat, straight line and secure it to the
floor with tape or a cable management strip of a contrasting color. Handle
cables carefully and avoid excessive bending.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose any component
of your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system to rain or moisture.
• When mounting the projector boom on a framed wall, you must attach both
the mounting bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the
projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail,
resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
• If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector’s boom will be
free to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from
the unit without supporting the projector boom first.
• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on any part of your
wall-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard system.
Climbing on your interactive whiteboard or the
UF55/UF55w projector’s boom could result in personal
injury or product damage. Do not climb on, hang from or
suspend objects from the projector’s boom.
• Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall or injury.
iii | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNINGS – PROJECTOR
• Refer to the safety warnings and precautions published in the UF55/UF55w
projector manual.
• Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into your projector’s beam
of light. Instruct children not to look in the direction of this beam of light.
Encourage users to keep their back to the projector when working at the
interactive whiteboard. Before they turn to face the audience, users should
step sideways, out of the projector’s beam.
• Do not attempt to service the projector other than performing routine lamp
replacement. Other than the lamp module, there are no user-serviceable parts
inside the unit.
• This projector detects its own remaining lamp life. Replace the lamp when a
lamp life warning message appears. If you continue to use the projector after
the replacement message appears, the lamp might shatter or burst, scattering
glass throughout the projector head.
• If the lamp has shattered or burst:
– Call your authorized SMART reseller
for instructions. Do not attempt
to replace the lamp.
– Do not touch the glass fragments because they might cause injury.
– Leave and then ventilate the area where the lamp shattered or burst.
– Wash your hands thoroughly if you have come in contact with
lamp debris.
– Thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and then discard any
edible items placed in that area because they might be contaminated.
• You must remove the projector from the projector’s boom before servicing
the lamp.
– Two people are required to remove and replace the projector.
– Replacing the lamp in a boom-mounted projector might result in a fall
or injury.
– Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on the boom might
lead to product damage or personal injury from falling pieces of glass
if the lamp is broken.
iv | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• When replacing the projector lamp:
– Turn the projector off and wait 30 minutes for the lamp to cool completely
before removing the projector from the boom.
– Do not remove any screws other than those specified in the lamp
replacement instructions.
– Wear protective eyewear while changing the lamp. Failure to do so can
cause injury or loss of eyesight if the lamp shatters or bursts.
– Use only replacement lamps approved by SMART Technologies. Contact
your authorized SMART reseller
for replacement parts.
– Never replace the lamp assembly with a previously-used lamp assembly.
– To prevent premature lamp failure or exposure to mercury, always handle
the fragile lamp assembly with care. Use gloves when touching the lamp.
Do not touch the lamp with your fingers.
– Recycle or dispose of the lamp module as hazardous waste,
in accordance with local regulations.
• When returning the projector to the boom, replace all of the screws that you
removed when you removed the projector. Failure to do so can result in the
projector falling from the boom, causing injury or equipment damage.
• To reduce the risk associated with a leaking battery in your projector’s remote
control:
– Use only the specified coin-cell type battery.
– Orient the battery’s plus (+) and minus (-) terminal according
to the markings on the remote control.
– Remove the battery when the remote control is unused for an extended
period.
– Do not heat, disassemble, short or recharge the battery, or expose it to
fire or high temperatures.
– Avoid eye and skin contact if the battery has a leak.
– Dispose of the exhausted battery and product components in accordance
with applicable regulations.
v | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
• Do not operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a
warm location. When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature,
moisture could condense on the lens and crucial internal parts. Allow the
system to reach room temperature before operation to prevent possible
damage to the unit.
• Do not place the unit in hot locations, such as near heating equipment.
Doing so could cause a malfunction and shorten the life of the projector.
• Make sure that an electrical socket is near to your SMART product and
remains easily accessible during use.
• Do not add any extra weight or apply pressure to the UF55/UF55w projector
boom, the wall-mounted interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART
designed the brackets to support only the weight of the components during
normal use.
• For operating safety and to prevent damage to your interactive whiteboard,
connect the included USB cable only to a computer that has a USB compliant
interface and that bears the USB logo. In addition, the USB source computer
must be compliant with CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the CE mark and CSA
and/or UL Mark(s) for CAS/UL 60950.
• Do not connect your serial cable directly to the projector’s RS-232 serial
interface. Use the extended control panel’s (ECP’s) RS-232 serial
interface only.
• In a location over 6000' (1829 m) altitude, the air is thin and cooling efficiency
is reduced, so use the projector with the fan mode set to High.
• Do not block the projector’s ventilation slots and openings.
• Avoid turning off the projector during the lamp ignition phase since this may
lead to premature lamp failure. Keep the projector lamp on for a minimum
of 15 minutes before turning it off to preserve the lamp life.
• Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage your interactive
whiteboard system. After you turn off the system, wait at least 15 minutes
for cooling before starting the system again.
• Before you clean the UF55/UF55w projector, press the power button twice
on the ECP or remote to put the system into Idle mode, and then allow the
bulb to cool for 30 minutes.
• Do not allow liquids or commercial solvents of any kind to flow into the
projector base or head. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part
of the projector since they may damage or stain the unit.
vi | INTRODUCTION – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

5 | CHAPTER 1 – ABOUT YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3 INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Standard Accessories
The following accessories are included with your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3
interactive whiteboard system.
Remote Control
The remote control enables you to control the system and
set up your UF55/UF55w projector. Use the remote control
to access menu options, system information and input
selection options.
Pen Tray Tools
The pen tray tools include four pens and an eraser.
The pens have rubberized grip areas, colored to match four
colors of digital ink: black, red, green and blue. You can use
dry-erase markers instead of the included pens, as long as
they’re a similar shape, don’t scratch or mark your
interactive whiteboard’s surface and reflect infrared light.
You can use Sanford® EXPO® markers as substitutes.
NOTES
• If the substitute isn’t reflective to infrared light, the pen tray sensors might not
detect the presence of the pen.
• Some of SMART’s older pens aren’t designed to reflect infrared light and the
pen tray sensors might not detect them reliably. Wrap light-colored tape
around a substitute pen to improve the reflection of infrared light, helping
with tool detection.
• Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers such as Sanford EXPO2, which can be
very difficult to remove. Use standard dry-erase (high-odor) markers that
show a warning to use them only in well-ventilated areas.
Eraser
The eraser resembles a rectangular chalkboard eraser.
Again, you can use a substitute object, as long as it has a
similar shape, doesn’t scratch or mark your interactive
whiteboard’s surface and reflects infrared light.

INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Before Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System
Choose a location for your SMART Board 600i3 or SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard
system that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows or overhead lighting.
Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on your interactive whiteboard
and can reduce the contrast of the projected image.
Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and minimum clearance to accommodate your
SMART Board interactive whiteboard system. Make sure that the UF55/UF55w
projector and your interactive whiteboard are installed on the same flat surface. For
best presentation alignment, SMART recommends that you mount your interactive
whiteboard system in a location that’s central to your audience’s viewing direction. For
mobile installation or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART
reseller. If the mounting surface is slightly irregular or if you’re unable to mount your
interactive whiteboard system on a stud, see Mounting SMART Board Interactive
Whiteboard Systems and UF55 Projectors on a Back Board
(document 135075
) on the SMART Technical Support website.
Recommended Mounting Heights
SMART includes a mounting template with each of its SMART Board 600i3 or
SBD600i3 interactive whiteboard systems. If you lose this template, contact your
authorized SMART reseller
• Mount the UF55/UF55w projector at a safe height for head space clearance,
while maintaining enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
• Position the projector at the correct height above your 600 or SBD600 series
interactive whiteboard so that the projected image aligns with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that’s suitable
for adults of average height. Although you should consider the general height of your
user community when you choose a position for your interactive whiteboard, consult
your local regulations before mounting the unit.
WARNING
When mounting the projector on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting
bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you
use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and
possible personal injury.
If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector boom will be free
to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit
without supporting the projector boom first.
. Using this template ensures that you:

Adjusting Keystone Alignment
Keystone errors occur when the projected image isn’t perpendicular to the screen.
The image appears shorter across the top when the image path’s distance from the
projector to the top of the screen is shorter than the distance to the bottom of the
screen. The image appears shorter across the bottom when the image path’s distance
from the projector to the bottom of the screen is shorter than the distance to the top of
the screen. Vertical keystone errors can occur when you mount the UF55/UF55w
projector and the SMART Board 600 or SBD600 series interactive whiteboard on an
uneven surface or a wall that has obstructions.
Horizontal keystone errors can occur when you swivel the UF55/UF55w projector too
far from your SMART Board 600 or SBD600 series interactive whiteboard’s vertical
center, when you mount the projector and the interactive whiteboard on an uneven
surface, or when the interactive whiteboard is slightly closer to the projector on one
side than the other.

The image appears shorter across the right side when the distance from the projector
to the right side of the screen is shorter than the distance to the left side of the screen.
The image appears shorter across the left side when the distance from the projector
to the left side of the screen is shorter than the distance to the right side of the screen.
Adjust your interactive whiteboard side to side to center the image (from the
projector), as illustrated in the installation document. This eliminates many keystone
errors. If your installation environment prevents you from moving your interactive
whiteboard, you can adjust the projector boom for optimal image alignment.
NOTES
• If you move your interactive whiteboard system to a new location, you must
re-adjust it.
• If your projector requires service, you must adjust the replacement projector.
WARNING
Two people are required to safely mount the projector boom and the interactive
whiteboard on a wall because the items might be too heavy for one person to
maneuver onto the wall-mounting brackets.

Focusing the Image
NOTE
Ensure that you remove the plastic lens cover from the projector.
To focus the projected image, use the Focus Ring, located on the bottom of the
UF55/UF55w projector (when the projector is facing downward).
Rotate the Focus Ring right or left
until the image is clear.
