Important information

• 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 heavy 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.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your SMART Board interactive whiteboard to rain or moisture.

• Use two wall-mounting brackets to install your SMART Board 685/D685 or 690/D695 interactive whiteboard. Using only one bracket could result in personal injury or product damage.

• Do not mount your SMART Board 600 or D600 series interactive whiteboard on a SMART Board 500 series interactive whiteboard floor stand. Using an older stand could result in personal injury or product damage. Only FS670 stands are certified for use with 660, 680 or D680 models.

• Do not mount a SMART Board 685, D685, 690 or D690 interactive whiteboard on a floor stand. Do not modify either your interactive whiteboard or a floor stand to make them compatible. Using a large interactive whiteboard with a small stand creates a tipping hazard.

• Do not mount the optional USB audio system speakers on a SMART Board 640 interactive whiteboard mounted on an FS640 stand. Using the speakers with the small stand creates a tipping hazard.

• Move your floor stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard with care. Before moving your floor stand-mounted interactive whiteboard, lower your interactive whiteboard to Position 2, and then proceed with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces might cause your interactive whiteboard to overturn. Before moving a floor stand, make sure that the anti-tip feet are retracted or locked in the up position.

• Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of your SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Instead, remount the product at the appropriate height, or use a SMART height-adjustable floor stand.

• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on your wall- or floor stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Climbing on your interactive whiteboard or projector boom, or riding on your floor stand, could result in personal injury or product damage.

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the pen tray. Only qualified personnel should disassemble the pen tray’s printed circuit boards, and this procedure must be done with proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

• If you are using an RS-232 serial expansion module, a wireless Bluetooth connection expansion module or a USB audio system, use only the power supply included with that product. These products do not use the same power supplies. Using the wrong power supply might create a safety hazard or damage the equipment. If in doubt, refer to the specification sheet for your product to verify the power supply type.

• If you need to lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall before you mount it, make sure that it remains in an upright position, resting on its pen tray brackets, which are designed to sustain your interactive whiteboard’s weight.

• Do not rest your interactive whiteboard on its side or on the top of its frame.

• Do not add any extra weight or excessive pressure to a wall-mounted interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART designed the brackets to support only the weight of your interactive whiteboard during normal use.

• For operating safety and to prevent damage to your interactive whiteboard, connect its USB connector only to a computer that has a USB compliant interface 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 CSA/UL 60950.

• If dust or small items prevent pen tray buttons from being pressed or cause constant button contact, remove the obstructions carefully.

• When transporting your SMART Board interactive whiteboard, repack it with as much of the original packaging as possible. This packaging was designed with optimal shock and vibration protection.

• Do not allow excess glass cleaner to flow into the crack between the lower frame and the writing surface, or into the pen tray slots.

If you own a SMART product other than a SMART Board 600 or D600 series interactive whiteboard, refer to the installation manual for your product for relevant warnings and maintenance instructions.

To ensure operating safety and to prevent product damage, observe the following precautions.

• Don’t set up or use your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity or smoke.

• If your SMART Board interactive whiteboard requires replacement parts, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by SMART Technologies or parts with the same characteristics as the original.

• Be aware that security cable locks aren’t 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 security cable lock hole, which would readily identify it as a stolen item.
