Smart Technologies Sympodium DT770 Addendum

Addendum to the Sympodium® DT770 Interactive Pen
Display Installation Guide

This addendum contains information about the DT770 interactive pen display that was not
included in the Sympodium DT770 Interactive Pen Display Installation Guide, including:

• mounting the DT770 on a mono stand (this page)

• using the DT770 with a Mac computer (page 2)

Mounting the DT770 on a Mono Stand

If you want to mount the DT770 at an angle of 30° or 45° degrees, you can install the DT770 on
the supplied mono stand.

To install the DT770 on the mono stand

1. Place the DT770 facedown on a flat surface.

CAUTION

2. Loosen the four captive screws in the mono stand.

3. Align the captive screws in the mono stand with the four holes on the back of the interactive
pen display.

Top Edge of
the DT770

If you want the DT770 to be on a 30°
angle, align the mono stand so the
vertical part of the stand is near the top
edge of the DT770.

Place the DT770 down slowly and carefully to ensure you don’t damage the
buttons.

Don’t place the DT770 on a surface that will mark, scratch or damage the
screen or its optical components.

Bottom Edge
of the DT770

If you want the DT770 to be on a 45°
angle, align the mono stand so the
vertical part of the stand is near the
bottom edge of the DT770.

4. Tighten the four captive screws.

5. Place the DT770 face up, with its weight on the mono stand and the bottom edge of the
DT770.

Using the DT770 with a Mac Computer

If you connect your DT770 to a Mac computer, the information below replaces the equivalent
information in the Sympodium DT770 Interactive Pen Display Installation Guide.

Setting the Resolution

The installation guide states on pages 8, 11 and 12 that, for best results, you should use a
computer that supports SXGA resolution. SXGA (1280 × 1024) is the native resolution of the
DT770.

However, if your DT770 is connected to a Mac computer, and you see a black border at the top
and bottom of the DT770’s interactive screen, try a number of different resolutions to determine
which one produces the best results.

NOTE: Don’t set the computer’s resolution to greater than 1280 × 1024.

Capturing the Screen

The installation guide states on page 17 that if you press the Screen Capture button, the Capture
toolbar appears. However, if your DT770 is connected to a Mac computer and you press the
Screen Capture button, you automatically capture the entire screen. There is no Capture toolbar
for the Mac version of SMART Board software.

Pressing the Floating Tools Button

The installation guide states on page 17 that if you press the Floating Tools button, the Floating
Tools appear. However, if your DT770 is connected to a Mac computer and you press the Floating

Tools button, the SMART Board Control Panel opens.

Pressing the Room Control Interface Button

The installation guide states on page 17 that if you press the Room Control Interface button, the
room control interface menus appear. However, this functionality is not available if your DT770 is
connected to a Mac computer. Instead, if you press the Room Control Interface button, an Online
Help opens.

Customizing Buttons

On page 18, the installation guide includes the steps required to customize the buttons on the
DT770. These steps are correct for computers using a Windows operating system. However, if
your DT770 is connected to a Mac computer, use the following method.

To customize a button

1. Press the SMART Board icon in the Dock, and press Open Control Panel.

2. Press Pen Tray.

3. Press the large Pen Tray button on the left side of the dialog.

4. To change the function of the Keyboard function button or the Right-Click pen tool button,
press the arrow beside the appropriate graphic and select the function you’d like.

Setting the Pen Tool Defaults

The installation guide states on page 18 and 19 that you can set up the DT770 so that when you
turn it on, a particular pen tool is active. However, this functionality is not available if your DT770 is
connected to a Mac computer.

Enabling the Pen Touch Only or Finger Touch Only Mode

On page 19, the installation guide states that you can disable the DT770’s ability to detect your
finger by switching to Pen Touch Only mode, or you can disable the DT770’s ability to detect the
tethered pen by switching to Finger Touch Only mode. However, these modes are not available if
your DT770 is connected to a Mac computer.

Orienting the Cameras

The default orientation level is the Standard (9 Points) orientation. However, if your DT770 is
connected to a Mac computer, use the Quick (4 Points) orientation level.

To change the orientation level to Quick (4 Points)

1. Press the SMART Board icon in the Dock, and press Open Control Panel.

2. Press Advanced.

3. Press the Pick Orientation Precision tab.

4. Select Quick (4 Points).

Calibrating the Cameras

The installation guide states on page 26 that you can realign the cameras by performing a simple
calibration procedure. However, this functionality is not available if your DT770 is connected to a
Mac computer.
