Notes 

  • Sign in won’t be available if your organization’s administrator has set up the display using an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platform.

  • If this is your first time signing on to your display, or if you’ve recently used the Clean Up feature, you may see a pop-up in Chrome prompting you to sign in to Google. Select Use without an account, and wait until you get to the SMART sign-in page to provide your Google credentials.

The following options are available for signing in to a display with iQ 4:

SMART ID card

Some displays include an integrated RFID NFC reader/writer technology which enables you to sign in to your SMART Account by tapping a SMART ID card on the display’s screen and then typing your PIN. After you set up your SMART ID card, you can use it to sign in to any NFC-enabled SMART Board interactive display with iQ 4.

You can also use the RFID NFC reader/writer technology on certain SMART displays to sign in to your SMART account when viewing the input from a SMART AM60 appliance with iQ 4. For additional information, see the latest release notes for iQ 4 system software.
