About your SMART Board 6000S or 6000S Pro

You can do everything on the display that you can do at your computer—open and close applications, meet with others, create new documents or edit existing ones, visit websites, play and manipulate videos, and so on—by touching the display’s surface.

You can use an array of gestures within applications, including panning, scaling, rotating and zooming in and out.

The display’s advanced HyPr Touch (Hybrid Precision Touch) with InGlass touch technology provides a natural, intuitive writing and touch experience with high accuracy and low latency. In addition, its Silktouch ultra-smooth finish allows you to use the display for hours without finger burn.

For more information, see Using touch.

The SMART Board 6000S features the Tool Explorer platform, which enables you to use other SMART-authorized pens and tools in addition to those supplied with the display. The Tool Explorer platform lets teachers and students manipulate real-world objects to interact intuitively with on-screen objects and digital content, increasing engagement and knowledge retention.

For more information about using Tool Explorer-enabled objects on the display, see Using additional tools and manipulatives.

The display requires a network connection for downloading software and firmware updates, and a number of the iQ apps require a network connection as well.

You can connect to a network using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable:

• The Wi-Fi module supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

• The two RJ45 jacks allow you to connect the display and an external device, such as a computer, to a Gigabit Ethernet network.

For more information, see Connecting to a network.

You can connect room computers and guest laptops to the display and view and interact with their inputs.

The display comes with SMART software that you can install on connected computers to take full advantage of the display’s features while using the connected computers.

On SMART Board 6000S (V3) models, the proximity sensor is located in the top-right corner of the display’s frame. On the 6000S and 6000S (C) models, the sensor is in the top-left corner.

The proximity sensor can detect people up to approximately 16' (5 m) away when the display is in an energy saving mode.

When the proximity sensor detects people in the room, the display turns on, depending on how it’s configured.

If the room is empty for a specified period, the display returns to an energy saving mode.

For more information, see Waking up your display and putting it back in to an energy saving mode.
