Important

Information

Before you install and use your SMART Board™ V280 interactive whiteboard,

read and understand the safety warnings and precautions in this user’s guide and

the included warnings document. These safety warnings and precautions describe

the safe and correct operation of your SMART Board interactive whiteboard and

its accessories, helping you to prevent injuries and equipment damage.

NOTE

In this document, the term “interactive whiteboard” refers to your interactive

whiteboard and its accessories and options.

Safety Warnings and Cautions

WARNINGS

• 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 large 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.

ii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Do not mount your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard on an FS670

or FS570 floor stand. These floor stands do not provide the correct locking

mechanisms to properly secure your interactive whiteboard. Using these

stands could result in personal injury and product damage.

• Move your floor stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard

with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces might cause

your product to overturn.

• Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface

of your SMART product. Instead, remount your product at the appropriate

height, or use an FSV280 height-adjustable floor stand.

• Do not climb (or allow children to climb) on your wall- or

stand-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

Climbing on your interactive whiteboard or projector boom

could result in personal injury or product damage.

CAUTIONS

• Avoid exposing your SMART product to extreme heat or cold. SMART Board

V280 interactive whiteboards can operate in the temperature range of

41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing).

The shipping and storage temperature range is from -40°F to 120°F

(-40°C to 50°C).

• Do not lean your interactive whiteboard against a wall. Your interactive

whiteboard’s frame and pen tray brackets are not designed to continuously

sustain the product’s weight. Make sure that you carefully place it face down

on a clean, flat surface instead.

• To ensure a safe installation and to prevent your interactive whiteboard

from being accidentally knocked off the wall, make sure that you secure your

interactive whiteboard to the wall with the included wall anchors and screws.

• Use only the screws included with your SMART Board V280 interactive

whiteboard. Using other screws might damage your product.

• Do not let the top of your interactive whiteboard contact the wall because the

caps covering the interactive whiteboard’s DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch)

cameras could be damaged.

• Do not add any extra weight or excessive pressure to your wall-mounted

interactive whiteboard or its pen tray. SMART designed the wall mounting

bracket to support only the weight of your interactive whiteboard during

normal use.

iii | IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• For operating safety and to avoid damage to your SMART Board interactive

whiteboard, use only the included high-speed USB 2.0 cable that came with

your interactive whiteboard to connect it to a computer that has a high-speed

USB 2.0 compliant port 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 CAS/UL 60950.

• Your computer requires the processing power specified in the SMART Board

V280 Interactive Whiteboard Specifications (document 121618 at

www.smarttech.com/support) when you use your SMART Board V280

interactive whiteboard with a standard projector. If you add accessories to

your computer, including but not limited to an AirLiner™ wireless slate,

SMART Response interactive response system or a SMART Document

Camera, you must increase the processing power of your computer

substantially. SMART will not be held responsible or liable for any damage

caused or loss suffered as a result of insufficient processing power.

• Your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard is not a dry-erase product.

Do not use dry-erase or permanent markers on its surface.

• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your interactive

whiteboard.

Other Precautions

If you own a SMART product other than a SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard,

refer to the installation manual for your product for relevant warnings and

maintenance instructions.

To ensure operating safety and to avoid product damage, observe the following

precautions.

• Don’t set up and use your interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels

of dust, humidity or smoke.

• Before installing your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard, ensure

that the USB cable connections are secure.

• Laptop computers operating in power save battery mode might not provide

sufficient power to run your interactive whiteboard reliably. Plug your laptop

computer into an AC power receptacle to run your interactive whiteboard.

• Be aware that connecting a webcam to your computer might prevent

your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard from operating reliably.

iv | IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Connect an external power supply (not included) to your SMART Board V280

interactive whiteboard when using a bus powered hub, such as the SMART Active

USB Extension Cable, with your product. The external power supply

(when required) must meet the Limited Power Source (LPS) requirements

of CSA/UL/IEC/EN 60950-1.

• Before your clean your interactive whiteboard, shut down or disconnect

the connected computer.

• If your SMART Board interactive whiteboard requires replacement parts,

make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by

SMART Technologies.

• Be aware that Kensington® 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 Kensington lock hole, which would readily

identify it as a stolen item.
