Important Information
Before you install and use your SMART Board™ V280 interactive whiteboard,
read and understand the safety warnings and precautions in this user’s guide and
the included warnings document. These safety warnings and precautions describe
the safe and correct operation of your SMART Board interactive whiteboard and
its accessories, helping you to prevent injuries and equipment damage.
NOTE
In this document, the term “interactive whiteboard” refers to your interactive
whiteboard and its accessories and options.
Safety Warnings and Cautions
WARNINGS
• Failure to follow the installation instructions included with your interactive
whiteboard, or found in this guide, could result in personal injury or
product damage.
• Read the safety warnings, precautions and other important information
published by your projector’s manufacturer. Do not stare (or allow children
to stare) directly into your projector’s beam of light. Do not touch (or allow
children to touch) your projector because it can become extremely hot during
normal operation.
• Two people are required to safely mount your interactive whiteboard on a wall
or floor stand because it might be too large for one person to safely maneuver
alone. When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your assistant
should stand on either side of the screen, supporting its weight at the bottom
corners while balancing the top with your other hands.
• 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.
ii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Do not mount your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard on an FS670
or FS570 floor stand. These floor stands do not provide the correct locking
mechanisms to properly secure your interactive whiteboard. Using these
stands could result in personal injury and product damage.
• Move your floor stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard
with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces might cause
your product to overturn.
• Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface
of your SMART product. Instead, remount your product at the appropriate
height, or use an FSV280 height-adjustable floor stand.
• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on your wall- or
stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
Climbing on your interactive whiteboard or projector boom
could result in personal injury or product damage.
CAUTIONS
• Avoid exposing your SMART product to extreme heat or cold. SMART Board
V280 interactive whiteboards can operate in the temperature range of
41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing).
The shipping and storage temperature range is from -40°F to 120°F
(-40°C to 50°C).
• Do not lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall. Your interactive
whiteboard’s frame and pen tray brackets are not designed to continuously
sustain the product’s weight. Make sure that you carefully place it face down
on a clean, flat surface instead.
• To ensure a safe installation and to prevent your interactive whiteboard
from being accidentally knocked off the wall, make sure that you secure your
interactive whiteboard to the wall with the included wall anchors and screws.
• Use only the screws included with your SMART Board V280 interactive
whiteboard. Using other screws might damage your product.
• Do not let the top of your interactive whiteboard contact the wall because the
caps covering the interactive whiteboard’s DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch)
cameras could be damaged.
• Do not add any extra weight or excessive pressure to your wall-mounted
interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART designed the wall mounting
bracket to support only the weight of your interactive whiteboard during
normal use.
iii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• For operating safety and to avoid damage to your SMART Board interactive
whiteboard, use only the included high-speed USB 2.0 cable that came with
your interactive whiteboard to connect it to a computer that has a high-speed
USB 2.0 compliant port 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 CAS/UL 60950.

2| INTRODUCING YOUR SMART BOARD V280 INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD
Introduction
Your SMART product is a wall-mounted, pen-only front projection interactive
whiteboard. It enables you to 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 with the included pen. When you connect your interactive
whiteboard to a computer and a projector, your computer image displays on the
screen. You can write over any application in digital ink, and then save these notes
to a SMART Notebook file for future reference and distribution.
Your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard is a high-speed USB 2.0 bus
powered device, with no external power supply. Since USB is the primary connectivity
mode, your interactive whiteboard receives power from the computer via the included
16' (5 m) high-speed USB 2.0 cable. There’s no power switch on your interactive
whiteboard. It’s always running when your computer is turned on.
Features
Your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard
is durable and reliable. It features a rugged,
hardened writing surface, a damage-resistant pen
and SMART’s proprietary DViT (Digital Vision
Touch) technology. Your interactive whiteboard
measures 77" diagonally and has a 4:3 aspect
ratio. A pen tray spans the width of the product.
Feature Highlights
DViT Technology
Two digital cameras located in each corner of the upper valance track the position
of the reflective tip of the pen as it moves across the display surface.
Pens
Each interactive whiteboard pen provides an intuitive tip switch interface for power
management. These battery-operated pens function equally well for adults and
children of all ages, and are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use.
Durable Surface
The hard laminate surface is puncture resistant and optimized for projection.
Kensington Lock Feature
This security feature enables you to lock your interactive whiteboard with a security
cable to help safeguard it from theft.
3| INTRODUCING YOUR SMART BOARD V280 INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD
How Does Your SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Work?
Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard and pen function as input devices
for your computer, just like a mouse, enabling you to work in any application available
on your connected computer from your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
When you connect your interactive whiteboard to a computer running SMART product
drivers, the following actions occur:
• The computer runs an
application, and then sends
the image to your projector.
• Your projector casts the image
onto your interactive whiteboard.
• Your interactive whiteboard acts
both as your computer’s monitor
and its input devices, i.e., mouse
and keyboard, enabling you
to control any application
by touching the screen with
your pen.
When you install SMART Notebook software on your computer, a Floating Tools
toolbar floats over your desktop and any open application. By default, SMART
Notebook interprets your pen presses as left mouse clicks. When you select a pen
button on the Floating Tools toolbar, SMART Notebook interacts with the computer's
mouse driver to change the pointer into a colored pen, which enables you to write over
your desktop or any open application with digital ink. You can change pen settings,
including the transparency, color or width of the ink. You can then save your notes
to a SMART Notebook file, or directly into any Ink Aware application. You can also
select and customize other tools, such as the width of the eraser tool you use to erase
your notes.

WHITEBOARD
Installing Your SMART Board V280 Interactive Whiteboard
Before Installing Your Interactive Whiteboard
Before you install your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard, choose a location
that’s protected from direct sunlight. Bright light sources, such as a window
with exposure to direct sunlight, can reduce the contrast of the projected image
and might affect the performance of your interactive whiteboard’s infrared technology.
Also consider where you installed, or plan to install or position, your projector. Position
your projector and interactive whiteboard at the correct height and distance apart
so that the projected image aligns with the display screen. Remember to leave
enough room on either side of your interactive whiteboard for you to stand beside it.
NOTE
You can also mount your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard
on a floor stand. For more information, see Appendix C on page 67.
Recommended Heights for Wall-Mounting
Consider the general height of your user community when you choose a height for
your wall-mounted interactive whiteboard. If your interactive whiteboard is too low, it
might force some people to bend over uncomfortably. If it’s too high, other people
might need to reach up too far. For adults of average height, position your interactive
whiteboard’s wall-mounting bracket 78 5/8" (2 m) above the floor. The distance to the
top of your interactive whiteboard will be 84" (213.4 cm).
For children, shorter adults and adults in wheelchairs, position your interactive
whiteboard’s wall-mounting bracket 60 3/4" (154.3 cm) above the floor. The distance
to the top of your interactive whiteboard will be 66" (167.7 cm).
WARNING
Two people are required to safely mount your SMART Board V280 interactive
whiteboard on a wall or a floor stand because it might be too large for one person
to safely maneuver alone. When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your
assistant should stand on either side of the screen, supporting its weight at the
bottom corners while balancing the top with your other hands.
NOTE
When you mount your interactive whiteboard lower on the wall, keep it high
enough that furniture or other objects won’t obstruct the projected image.
12 | INSTALLING AND SECURING YOUR SMART BOARD V280 INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD
Tools Required
To wall-mount your interactive whiteboard you’ll need the following tools,
which aren’t included with your package:
• a Phillips® No. 2 screwdriver
NOTE
All screws must be tightened by hand.
• a ruler or tape measure
• a carpenter’s level
• a pencil or other marking device
• a stepladder
Wall-Mounting Your Interactive Whiteboard
Follow this procedure to mount your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard
on a framed wall surfaced with gypsum or drywall. Some notes are provided
for concrete wall installations.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions might result in personal injury and
product damage.
CAUTIONS
• Do not lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall. Your interactive
whiteboard’s frame and pen tray brackets are not designed to continuously
sustain the product’s weight. Make sure that you carefully place it face down
on a clean, flat surface instead.
• Use only the screws included with your SMART Board V280 interactive
whiteboard. Using other screws might damage your product.
IMPORTANT
After you lay your interactive whiteboard on a clean, flat surface, ensure that
the camera USB cable connections are secure.
NOTE

for use.
To prepare the pens 1. Pull back the battery cover of each pen to open
the battery compartment, and then insert
an AAA battery, as illustrated.
2. Press the tip switch on the nib of each pen
with your finger to check that the pen is working
properly. The LED light beside each battery
compartment illuminates green. Place the pens
on the pen tray.
NOTES
– A green LED light indicates that the

light indicates that less than one hour
of battery operating time remains.

Securing Your Interactive Whiteboard with a Kensington Lock
Secure your interactive whiteboard by attaching a security cable, such as a
Kensington cable and lock device (not included), to your interactive whiteboard
and an immovable object.
IMPORTANT
Kensington 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 Kensington lock hole, which would readily identify it
as a stolen item.
In each of the three brackets under your interactive whiteboard’s pen tray, you’ll find
a lock slot that accommodates a security cable.
To secure your
interactive whiteboard
1. Loop the security cable around a heavy or immovable object, and then thread
the lock end of the cable through the loop end of the cable.
2. Insert the prong end of the lock into the lock slot, following the instructions
that came with your cable.
NOTE
You might not be able to access the lock slots in the outside brackets
from the side that is closest to the outside edge of your interactive whiteboard.
