Safety warnings, cautions and important information
Installation
W A R N I N G
l Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product could result in
personal injury and damage to the product.
l To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SMART product to rain or
moisture.
i smarttech.com/kb/170510
I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
l Two people are required to mount your SMART product because it may be too heavy for one
person to safely maneuver.
When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your assistant should stand on either side
of the screen, supporting its weight at the bottom while balancing the top with your other
hands.
l When mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach the mounting bracket to
a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can
fail, resulting in possible personal injury, and damage to the product which may not be covered
by your warranty.
l 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.
C A U T I O N
l 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 can condense on the lens
and crucial internal parts. Allow the system to stabilize to room temperature before operation
to prevent possible damage to the unit.
l 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.
l Avoid setting up and using the SMART product in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity and smoke.
l Do not place your SMART product in direct sunlight or near any appliance that generates a
strong magnetic field.
l If you need to lean the interactive whiteboard against a wall before you mount it, make sure it
remains in an upright position, resting on the pen tray brackets, which can sustain the weight
of the interactive whiteboard.
Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of the frame.
ii smarttech.com/kb/170510
I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N
l You must connect the USB cable that came with your SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard 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 CSA/UL 60950. This is for operating safety and to avoid damage to
the SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard.
I M P O R T A N T
l The SMARTBoard 685ix2 interactive whiteboard system textless installation guide is also
available online (smarttech.com/kb/170472).

C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
Choosing a location
Choose a location for your interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources, such as
windows and strong 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 sufficient clearance to accommodate your interactive
whiteboard system. Install the projector and your interactive whiteboard on the same flat surface. For
best presentation alignment, mount your interactive whiteboard system in a location that’s central to
your audience’s viewing direction.
For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
Choosing a height
SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorized SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do the
following:
l Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining enough space
for airflow and installation access above the unit.
l Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the
projected image with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average
height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a location
for your interactive whiteboard.

cables don’t rest on the wall-mounting brackets.
Installing SMART software
You must install SMARTsoftware, such as SMARTMeetingPro™ software or SMARTNotebook™
collaborative learning software on the computer connected to your interactive whiteboard system to
access all of its features.
Download SMARTsoftware from smarttech.com/software. These web pages list the minimum
hardware requirements for each software version. If SMART software is already installed on your
computer, take this opportunity to upgrade your software to ensure compatibility.
Setting up the projector image
You must focus the projected image, and then align the projected image.
9 smarttech.com/kb/170510
C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
Focusing the image
Use the focus lever located on the bottom of the SMARTUX80 projector to focus the projected

Aligning the image
Refer to these notes when aligning the projected image as described in the included SMARTBoard
685ix2 interactive whiteboard system installation and cabling guide (smarttech.com/kb/170472).
C A U T I O N
Never touch the lens or the mirror with your hands or a brush. This can disturb the focus or quality of
image that your projector displays.
The projector’s image alignment screen appears when you start your projector the first time, or you
can access it from the startup screen menu any time.
10 smarttech.com/kb/170510
C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document and the image alignment
screen to adjust the projected image size, shape and location so that you can see the full projected
image clearly. Don’t use other images, which might be cropped or scaled by the projector and result in
a misleading projected image size, shape, and location.
When adjusting keystone (tilt), ensure that the top and bottom edges of the image are horizontal
before you position the left and right edges of the image relative to your interactive whiteboard.
To fine-tune the image, you might need to repeat all steps described in the installation document in
smaller increments.
