Important information
Before you install and use the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard, read and understand the safety warnings and precautions in this guide. These safety warnings and precautions describe the safe and correct operation of the interactive whiteboard and its accessories, helping you to prevent injuries and equipment damage. Ensure that the interactive whiteboard system is always being used correctly.
Safety warnings and cautionsWarning
Ensure that any cables extending across the floor to the SMART product are properly fastened together and marked to avoid a trip hazard.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the SMART product to rain or moisture.
Refer to the safety warnings and precautions published by the projector manufacturer. Do not stare (or allow children to stare) directly into the projector’s beam of light.
Do not touch (or allow children to touch) the projector. It can become extremely hot during normal operation.
Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of the SMART product. Instead, safely fix the product at the appropriate height on a wall or use a SMART height-adjustable floor stand.
Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on a wall- or stand-supported SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
Safely mounting the interactive whiteboard requires two people because it is too heavy for one person to safely maneuver. When you and your assistant lift the interactive whiteboard, support its weight at the bottom, avoiding the corner cameras, and balance the top with your other hands.
The weight of the interactive whiteboard is approximately
To prevent injury or product and property damage, use only the mounting hardware supplied with the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard when you install the product on drywall. The mounting hardware provided with other interactive whiteboards may not be strong enough to support the weight of a SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard.
Use two wall-mounting brackets to install SMART Board interactive whiteboards with a diagonal width of
For operating safety and to prevent damage to the interactive whiteboard, connect its USB connector, or SMART connection extenders, 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.
To prevent injury or product damage as a result of tipping, mount the interactive whiteboard only on a floor stand that is certified for use with SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboards, such as the SMART FS670 Mobile Floor Stand or SMART HAWM FS-UX Mobile Height-Adjustable Floor Stand. Do not modify the interactive whiteboard or the floor stand to make them compatible.
Move a floor stand-supported SMART Board interactive whiteboard with care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product to overturn.
Caution
If you’re replacing a SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the heavier SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount bracket and mounting hardware, and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets supplied with the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard instead.
If you need to lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall, make sure that it remains in an upright position, resting on its pen tray brackets, which are designed to sustain the interactive whiteboard’s weight. Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its side, on the top of its frame or on the corners of the frame where the cameras are located.
Do not add any extra weight or pressure to a wall-mounted interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART designed the brackets to support only the weight of the interactive whiteboard and its accessories during normal use.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the pen tray.
When transporting the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, repack it with the original packaging. This packaging was designed to provide the best possible protection against shock and vibration.
Do not use compressed air to clean the cameras.
Do not allow cleaner to flow onto the infrared (IR) reflective material at the edges of the interactive whiteboard frame, or into the pen tray slots.
Do not set up and use the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust, humidity or smoke.
If the SMART Board interactive whiteboard requires replacement parts, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by SMART Technologies.
Other precautionsIf you own a SMART product other than a SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard, refer to the installation manual for that product for relevant warnings and maintenance instructions.
