Calibrating your interactive flat panel
If your SMART Board 4000 series interactive flat panel has an inaccurate touch or the touch is not working, you may need to calibrate it. Follow the instructions below to calibrate your SMART Board interactive flat panel.
Important
The SMART Board interactive flat panel is factory calibrated. We recommend that you resolve touch inaccuracy through configuration before calibration (see Configuring touch and display settings for your interactive flat panel).
Calibration should only be performed by an administrator.

When you calibrate the IFP for the first time in Windows 7, the screen uses 16 reference points. Initial calibration applies to all users of the interactive flat panel. Later calibrations use only 4 points and apply only to your user account (see windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/getting-more-out-of-your-tablet-pc).
To calibrate your interactive flat panel
Open Control Panel > Tablet and PC Settings.
Note
If you’re using multiple monitors, ensure that you have identified the interactive flat panel as the touch screen with Windows operation systems (see Setting up multiple displays).
Ensure that the Display tab is visible. Select the interactive flat panel from the display drop down menu.
- Click Calibrate.
Tap each crosshair as they appear.
Note
It may take several attempts to register your tap.
Click OK on the Tablet and PC settings page to save the changes.
Note
If you make a mistake (such as tapping somewhere other than the crosshair), repeat the procedure.
Tip
To clear your calibration data, click Reset.

If you accidentally touch the flat panel while the orient screen is on this display, you will have to repeat the procedure above.
