Waking up your display and putting it back in to an energy saving mode

The display’s proximity sensor can detect people up to 16' (5 m) away when the display is in an energy saving mode. Depending on how the display is configured, it either turns on or enters Ready mode when the sensors detect people.

Note 

On SMART Board 6000S (V3) models, the proximity sensor responds when the display is in the networked standby and the standby power states. On the 6000S and 6000S (C) models, the proximity sensor responds only when the display is in the networked standby power state.

If the display is in Ready mode, you can turn it on in a number of ways:

  • Press the Power buttonImage of the Home button icon on the convenience panel.

  • Tap the Home button below the screen.

    Note 

    The Home button is illuminated when the display is in Ready mode.

  • Press the Home buttonImage of the Home button icon on the remote control.

  • Pick up a pen or the eraser.

  • Connect a video cable from a computer to a video input receptacle on the display.

    The display also turns on when it receives a video signal.

The SMART Board 6000S (V3) model returns to Ready mode and 6000S and 6000S (C) models return to an energy saving mode when one of the following occurs:

  • The sensor detects no motion in the room for the length of time configured in the display’s settings.

  • You press the Power button on the convenience panel or the remote control.

After entering Ready mode, the display enters an energy saving mode when the sensor doesn’t detect anyone in the room for the length of time configured in the display’s settings.

For information about turning off the display, see Turning off, turning on, and restarting the display.
