system uses the short-throw, high-offset
SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector. The throw
distance of the SMARTUF70 and SMARTUF70w
projectors is half that of the SMARTUF65 projector,
resulting in a shorter boom and reduced shadows on
the projected image.
When the projector displays an image from your
computer on the touch-sensitive interactive
whiteboard, you can do everything that you can do at
your computer—open and close applications, scroll
through files, conference with others, create new
documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play
video clips and more—by touching the screen. You
can use an array of gestures within applications.
This projector also supports video and audio connections from a variety of devices, including
DVD/Blu-ray™ players, VCRs, document cameras and digital cameras, and can project media from
these sources onto the interactive screen.
When you use SMART software with your SMARTBoardM600i6 interactive whiteboard system, you
can write or draw over the projected computer image in digital ink using a pen tray pen or your finger,
and then save these notes to a .notebook file or directly into any Ink Aware application.

(smarttech.com/kb/170555) to install your interactive whiteboard and projector.
This chapter provides additional considerations and details for installing your interactive whiteboard
system.
5 smarttech.com/kb/170549
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.
W A R N I N G
Refer to your interactive whiteboard system’s specifications (available at smarttech.com/support)
for its weight. Check your local building codes to ensure that your wall can support this weight, and
use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.
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.
Securing the projector to the boom
To learn how to secure the SMARTUF70 or SMARTUF70w projector to the boom, see the included
SMARTBoard M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170555).
6 smarttech.com/kb/170549
C H A P T E R 2
Installing your interactive whiteboard system
Routing the cables
If your interactive whiteboard uses one mounting bracket, make sure that all projector cables pass
along the top of the bracket and then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.
If your interactive whiteboard uses two mounting brackets, make sure that all projector cables pass
between the brackets. Space your wall-mounting brackets 4" (10.2 cm) apart to provide full support
for the weight of your interactive whiteboard.
I M P O R T A N T
Do not connect the power cable to a power outlet until you have connected all the cables to the
projector and interactive whiteboard.
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.

Adjusting the image
Refer to these notes when adjusting the projected image, as described in the included SMARTBoard
M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170555).
l While adjusting the projected image size, shape and location, use the projector’s default
background 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 could result in a misleading projected image
size, shape and location.
l Use the mechanical adjustments described in the installation document to make all physical
image adjustments. Don’t use the projector’s on-screen menu options during the projector
alignment process.
l Be aware that as you tilt the projector up or lower its mounting boom to raise the image, the entire
projected image increases or decreases in size, especially at the bottom of the projected image.
l 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.
l When you move the projector forward or backward on the boom to make the image larger or
smaller, you might need to tilt or turn the projector slightly to keep the image square. Loosen the
lever slightly to aid in this adjustment.
l To fine-tune the image, you might need to repeat all steps described in the installation document
in smaller increments.
