When you connect cables to the interactive flat panel from a computer and other peripheral devices, ensure that the cables aren’t a trip hazard. Use channels and raceways to safely secure and hide cables. Contact your authorized SMART reseller for these accessories.

Important 

Do not connect the power cable to a power outlet until you have connected all cables to the interactive flat panel.

If you’re using multiple displays or a laptop connected to the interactive flat panel, ensure that they are set up correctly.

Check the graphics card configuration (see Graphics card configuration).

Check the panel settings (see Panel settings).

Calibrate or clear previously set calibration data.

If you’re using an unsupported graphics card configuration, you may experience display problems or issues with touch accuracy. For example, you may experience issues if your graphics card scaling option is set to something other than full-screen.
