Cleaning the screen

Follow these instructions to clean the interactive flat panel screen without damaging its anti-glare

coating or other product components.

C A U T I O N

l Do not use permanent or dry-erase markers on the screen. If dry-erase markers are used on

the screen, remove the ink as soon as possible with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

l Do not rub the screen with a dense or rough material.

l Do not apply pressure to the screen.

l Do not use cleaning solution or glass cleaner on the interactive flat panel screen, as they can

deteriorate or discolor the screen.

l Avoid touching the silver reflective tape between the screen and the bezel and ensure that it

stays dry. Damage to this strip affects touch interactivity.

g To clean the interactive flat panel screen

1. Shut off your computer, and then disconnect the power sources for your computer and your

interactive flat panel.

2. Wipe the screen with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth.

Cleaning the presence detection sensors

The interactive flat panel has two presence detection sensors on its frame.The sensors should be

inspected annually for dust and should be cleaned if any obvious dust buildup has occurred.

C A U T I O N

Do not use compressed air, water, chemical agents or cleaning agents to clean the sensors.

g To clean the sensors

Gently wipe the sensors using a clean lint-free cloth.

C H A P T E R 7

Maintaining your interactive flat panel

Cleaning the camera windows and reflective tape

The DViT technology in your interactive flat panel uses four cameras in the corners of the frame and

the reflective material between the screen and the bezels. Excessive dust buildup on the camera

windows or reflective tape can impair touch performance.

These areas should be inspected annually for dust and should be cleaned if any obvious dust buildup

has occurred.

C A U T I O N

l Do not use compressed air to clean the camera windows or borders.

l Do not use water, chemicals or cleaning agents.

g To clean the camera windows and reflective tape

1. With a clean lint-free cloth, gently wipe the camera windows in the top corners and the

reflective tape along the top of your interactive flat panel screen using the cloth.

2. Gently wipe the reflective tape along the sides of your interactive flat panel screen.

3. Gently wipe the camera windows in the bottom corners and the reflective strip across the

bottom of your interactive flat panel screen.

Maintaining ventilation

Your interactive flat panel requires ventilation to enable the cooling fans to function. Dust buildup in

the ventilation holes compromises cooling and leads to product failure.

C A U T I O N

Avoid setting up or using your interactive flat panel in an area with excessive levels of dust,

humidity or smoke.

l Clean accessible ventilation holes monthly with a dry cloth.

l Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow hose end fitting to clear the back ventilation holes

annually. You might have to remove the interactive flat panel from your wall. For more

information on removing your interactive flat panel see Removing your interactive flat panel on

the next page.

C H A P T E R 7

Maintaining your interactive flat panel

Preventing condensation

Your interactive flat panel screen contains layers of glass that can collect condensation, especially in

the following conditions:

l Temperature extremes with high humidity

l Rapid changes in humidity, which can occur when you operate the product near water, such as

a sink, pool, kettle or air conditioner ventilator

l Direct exposure to sunlight

g To evaporate condensation from your interactive flat panel

1. Remove the humidity source from the interactive flat panel, if possible.

2. Adjust the room temperature to normal operating ranges.

3. Turn on the interactive flat panel for 2–3 hours.

If the screen condensation doesn’t evaporate, contact SMART Support

(smarttech.com/contactsupport).

Checking the interactive flat panel installation

Inspect your interactive flat panel installation frequently to ensure that it remains securely installed.

l Check the mounting location for signs of damage or weakness that can occur over time.

l Check for loose screws, gaps, distortions or other issues that could occur with the mounting

apparatus.

If you find an issue, refer to a professional installer.

Removing your interactive flat panel

To safely remove your interactive flat panel, use two or more professional installers.

I M P O R T A N T

Follow the instructions included with the floor stand or mounting apparatus.

C H A P T E R 7

Maintaining your interactive flat panel

g To remove the interactive flat panel

1. Turn off your interactive flat panel and unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.

2. Remove all accessible cables and connectors.

W A R N I N G

Do not move the interactive flat panel by connecting a rope or wire to the handles on

the back. The interactive flat panel can fall and cause personal injury and product

damage.

3. There are two lifting handles on the back of the interactive flat panel, one on each side. With

one person on each end, use one hand each on the handle to support the weight of the

interactive flat panel and the other hand on the upper side to balance it during lifting. The

interactive flat panel weighs about 98 lb. (44.5 kg).

4. Lift your interactive flat panel from its mounting location.

C A U T I O N

Do not allow the weight of the interactive flat panel to rest on the color select module

because it is not designed to support product weight.

Do not leave the interactive flat panel face up, face down or upside down for an

extended period of time as it could cause permanent damage to the screen.

C H A P T E R 7

Maintaining your interactive flat panel

Do not place the interactive flat panel on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table,

because the interactive flat panel could fall, resulting in injury or severe product

damage.

Transporting your interactive flat panel

Save your original packaging so that you can repack your interactive flat panel with as much of the

original packaging as possible. This packaging was designed with optimal shock and vibration

protection. If your original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase the same packaging directly

from your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).

C A U T I O N

Transport your interactive flat panel only in original or replaced packaging. Transporting your

interactive flat panel without correct packaging voids your warranty and could lead to product

damage.
