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

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:

System
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.
To focus and
adjust the image
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).

Performing an Image Alignment
Use this procedure to obtain a rectangular image that’s slightly smaller than your
interactive whiteboard’s screen.
NOTES
•Project a computer image (set to the proper resolution) while performing the
following steps. If you don’t have a computer, use the projector’s default blue
background so that you can see the fully projected image clearly.
•SMART doesn’t recommend adjusting digital keystoning within the projector.
Instead, use the mechanical adjustment described below.
To perform an initial
image alignment
1. Align the top of the projected image so that it’s parallel with the top edge of your
interactive whiteboard’s surface.
2. Loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint to allow movement of the
projector as needed.
IMPORTANT
Do not loosen the wingnut too much or the projector will not hold the
adjustments.
3. Tilt the projector left or right, up or down, or from side to side, until the top edge of
the projector image is parallel with the top edge of your interactive whiteboard.
16 |CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
Center Hex Screw
Projector Boom
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
To adjust th e
projector alignment
1. If the bottom edge of the projected image is smaller than the top edge of the
projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope inward toward the
bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector down or raise the projector’s
mounting boom to lower the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the
boom counter-clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not included) to raise the boom.
2. If the bottom edge of the projected image is larger than the top edge of the
projected image, and the sides of the projected image slope outward toward the
bottom of the projected image, tilt the projector up or lower the projector’s
mounting boom to raise the image. Turn the center hex screw at the base of the
boom clockwise using a 6 mm hex key (not included) to lower the boom and tilt
the projector forward and backward.
NOTE
The entire projected image may increase slightly in size during this process,
and more at the bottom of the projected image than at the top.
17 |CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
3. Adjust the projected image’s horizontal alignment by turning the projector left
or right, until the top and bottom edges of the projected image are horizontal
and parallel.
NOTE
Don’t pay attention to the position of the left and right edges relative to your
interactive whiteboard during this step.
4. Move your SMART Board interactive whiteboard left or right on its mounting
bracket to center the image on your interactive whiteboard.
5. If you haven’t already done so, loosen the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint
to enable the projector to move backward and forward in the slot.
18 |CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
6. Move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger
or smaller.
NOTE
During this step, you may need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the
image square.
7. Focus the projector using the focus lever (located on the top of the projector).
NOTE
You may need to repeat all steps in smaller increments in order to fine-tune
the image.
8. Tighten the large wingnut on the top of the ball joint.
19 |CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
Security Slot
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Securing the Pen Tray and Interactive Whiteboard
Because your SMART Board interactive whiteboard’s pen tray is detachable, you
might want to safeguard it—and your interactive whiteboard—by anchoring it with a
security cable.
IMPORTANT
Securing the pen tray can provide theft deterrence for your interactive whiteboard
because the screws that secure your interactive whiteboard to the wall are located
directly behind the pen tray, and must be removed to detach the pen tray. In effect,
when you secure the pen tray, you’re also securing your interactive whiteboard if
the security cable is tight.
Underneath the pen tray, there is a security slot that accommodates a security cable,
such as a Kensington® lock.
To lock the pen tray
to your interactive
whiteboard
IMPORTANT
Be aware that security cable locks are not designed to be a solid protection
measure because the lock can be torn out. However, potential thieves might be
reluctant to try to sell a product with a broken security cable lock hole, which
would readily identify it as a stolen item.
1. Loop the security cable behind the pen tray brackets before you secure them
to the wall, and then thread the lock end of the cable through the loop end of
the cable.
2. Verify that the cable is tight enough to prevent you from removing the pen tray
while the lock is in place, and then install the pen tray.
3. Insert the prong end of the security cable into the security slot, and then complete
the pen tray installation by securing it to the wall.
20 |CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 600I3 OR SBD600I3
Screw Location
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Since you can remove the pen tray without tools, you might want to securely attach it
to its brackets. To do this, insert two No. 8/M4 screws (not included) into the holes
indicated in the following illustration.
NOTE
Older pen trays don’t have this feature.

UF55/UF55w Programming Commands
Powerstate Controls
The UF55/UF55w projector responds to commands only at certain power levels and
times. There are four projector power states:
•Idle
•Powering (startup)
•On (operating)
•Cooling (idle)
The embedded firmware program coordinates command sequencing and is capable
of buffering up to 127 commands. In each power state, the commands are buffered
until the system can process them. The ? command will list all available commands for
the current powerstate.
IMPORTANT
The system buffer can delay response times. Response times vary.
Command Inventory
The UF55/UF55w projector responds to the commands in the tables on the
following pages.
CAUTION
•Cycling power to the projector repeatedly can lock or damage your interactive
whiteboard system. After you turn off the system, allow at least 15 minutes
for cooling before sending the On command to start the system.
•Check your entries carefully before entering your commands.
NOTES
•Commands aren’t case sensitive.
•Type commands exactly as they appear in the left column of the tables.
•Press ENTER after typing each command.
•After the projector executes a command, it generates a response. There are
two ways to program the command sequence to turn on the system, wait for
the powering cycle to finish and select an input source:
–Allow the ECP to sequence the commands
–Control the sequence programmatically

INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Preventing Damage to Your Interactive
Whiteboard
Although your SMART Board interactive whiteboard’s surface is very durable,
take the following precautions to prevent damage to the interactive screen and
other components.
•Don’t use sharp or pointed objects, such as ballpoint pens or pointers,
as writing tools.
•Don’t use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals when cleaning your product.
•Don’t leave adhesive tape on the writing surface for extended periods. Lifting
the tape may remove the coating that provides your product’s dry-erase capability.
•Don’t set up and use your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels
of dust, humidity or smoke.
Keeping the Writing Surface Clean
For cleaning instructions, refer to the SMART Board 600 and SBD600 Series Interactive Whiteboard Installation and User’s Guide (document 1414
IMPORTANT
Before you clean your interactive whiteboard, shut down your computer or
disconnect the USB cable from your interactive whiteboard so that you do not
scramble the desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe
your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
With proper care, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years
of trouble-free service. Follow these tips to keep the screen surface clean:
•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 include a
warning to use them only in well-ventilated areas.
•Erase dry-erase ink as soon as possible after use. The longer dry-erase ink stays
on the surface, the more difficult it is to remove.
•Remove excess dry-erase dust with a damp lint-free cloth before using a cleaner.
•If erasing doesn’t completely remove dry-erase ink, clean the writing surface
with a household glass cleaner, such as Windex®, daily, weekly or as required.
).
•Use a dry-erase marker cleaner if you can still see ink marks after erasing.
•Don’t allow excess glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the lower frame
and the writing surface, or into the pen tray recesses.
•Use isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains and ghosting.
53 |CHAPTER 7 – MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD 600i3 OR SBD600I3
Infrared Sensors
INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Removing Permanent Marker Ink Stains
To remove marks made with a permanent marker, use a cleaner such as Sanford
EXPO Dry Erase Board Doctor. Write directly over the permanent ink stain with the
Board Doctor pen, allow the solution to dry completely, and then wipe clean.
You can also use a high-odor dry-erase marker to remove marks from a permanent
marker because dry-erase ink contains solvents that can remove permanent ink.
Cover the permanent ink with the dry-erase ink, and then wipe with a lint-free soft
cloth while the ink is still wet. If any trace of the ink remains, spray a lint-free cloth
with a glass or whiteboard cleaner, and then wipe the area clean.
TIP
When removing permanent marker ink, don’t use low-odor or non-scented
dry-erase markers. They don’t contain the appropriate solvents.
Cleaning the Pen Tray
If the infrared sensors in the bottom of the pen tray’s recesses become obstructed
by dirt, the sensors won’t detect when you remove or replace a pen or the eraser.
The LED indicators won’t illuminate and the lifted tool won’t work on your interactive
whiteboard’s screen.
To clean a sensor, moisten a cotton swab with a household glass cleaner, such as
Windex, and then carefully clean the infrared transmitter and receiver.
NOTE
There are no user serviceable parts inside the pen tray. Only qualified personnel
should disassemble the pen tray. If dust or a small object prevents you from
pressing a button, or causes a button to stick, remove the object carefully.

WARNING
Cleaning a boom-mounted projector may result in a fall and injury.
CAUTION
•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.
IMPORTANT
Wipe the exterior of the projector using a lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the Projector
Follow these guidelines to clean the projector:
•Avoid touching the lens. If it’s necessary to clean the lens:
–Use liquids or commercial solvents (such as glass cleaners) to clean the lens,
but don’t spray them directly on the system.
–Use protective gloves and dip a lint-free cloth (such as Purestat® PW2004)
in an anti-static solvent (such as Hyperclean® EE-6310).
–Make sure that you gently wipe the lens from the center to the outer area.
•Avoid spraying cleaner on the projector system. Spraying on the projector’s
components and lamp may result in damage and poor image quality.
