   Notes 

   • To effectively orient the SMART interactive product, press an area near each target, and then slide your finger or pen to the center of each target’s crosshairs before removing it. Keep your finger or pen at a right angle to the SMART interactive product’s surface.

   • If you want to close the orientation screen before finishing the orientation procedure, press ESC. Otherwise, the orientation screen closes after you press the last target.

If your computer is connected to more than one SMART interactive product, you need to provide further information so that your computer knows which SMART interactive product to orient.
