WARNING

FOR EUROPEAN

CUSTOMERS

The SBFPD should be used only with European TN and TT power

distribution systems.

The SBFPD is not suitable for older, IT-type power distribution systems

found in some European countries. “This system (IT-type) is widely used

isolated from earth, in some installations in France, with impedance to earth,

at 230/400V, and in Norway, with voltage limiter, neutral not distributed, at

230V line-to-line.” (IEC 60950:1999)

Contact qualified personnel if you're uncertain of the type of power system

available where you’re installing your SBFPD.

ii Important Information 99-00667-00 B0

AVERTISSEMENT

POUR LES

CLIENTS

EUROPÉENS

Le SBFPD doit être utilisé uniquement avec les systèmes de distribution

d’alimentation européens TN et TT.

Le SBFPD ne convient pas aux systèmes de distribution d’alimentation plus

anciens de type IP utilisés dans certains pays européens. “Ce système (type

IT) est largement utilisé isolé de la terre, dans certaines installations en

France, avec une impédance à la terre, à 230/400V, et en Norvège, avec

limiteur de tension, neutre non distribué, à 230V ligne à ligne.”(IEC

60950:1999)

Si vous avez des doutes sur le type de système d’alimentation disponible

lors de l’installation de votre SBFPD, contactez un personnel qualifié.

ADVERTENCIAS

PARA LOS

CLIENTES

EUROPEOS

La SBFPD sólo se podrá utilizar con los sistemas eléctricos TN y TT

europeos.

Este modelo no está disponible para antiguos sistemas eléctricos de tipo IT

que aún se utilizan en algunos países europeos. “Este sistema (IT) tiene

una utilización muy extendida como núcleo aislado de tierra; en algunas

instalaciones en Francia, con impedancia de tierra, a 230/400 V; y en

Noruega, con limitador de tensión, a 230 V entre conductores.” (CEI

60950:1999)

Si no está seguro del tipo de sistema eléctrico que posee, póngase en

contacto con personal cualificado a la hora de instalar su modelo SBFPD.

WARNUNG FÜR

EUROPÄISCHE

KUNDEN

Das SBFPD darf nur mit europäischen TN- und TT-Netzverteilern verwendet

werden.

Das SBFPD eignet sich nicht für ältere Netzverteiler vom Typ IT, die in

manchen europäischen Ländern zu finden sind. “Dieses System (IT-Typ)

wird, von der Erdung isoliert, in einigen Installationen in Frankreich mit

Impedanz zu Erde bei 230/400 V und in Norwegen mit

Spannungsbegrenzer, neutral, nicht verteilt, bei 230 V Leitung zu Leitung

verwendet.” (IEC 60950:1999)

Wenden Sie sich an qualifiziertes Personal, wenn Sie sich nicht sicher sind,

welches Stromsystem dort zur Verfügung steht, wo Sie Ihr SBFPD

installieren.

Other Precautions

For operating safety and to avoid damage to the interactive whiteboard and its parts, please read

the following information carefully.

• If you transport the interactive whiteboard, we strongly urge you to completely repackage it

using the original packaging. This packaging was designed with optimal shock and vibration

protection. If the original packaging is no longer available, pack all components with as much

padding as reasonably possible to ensure that they are not exposed to excessive vibration or

shock.

• Clean the interactive whiteboard surface regularly. Otherwise, dust can build up on the

surface, adversely affecting its operation. For further information, see page 31.

• Don’t spray glass cleaner directly onto the interactive whiteboard. Instead, spray the cleaner

lightly on a cloth and then gently wipe the glass.

• Avoid setting up and using the interactive whiteboard in an area with excessive levels of dust,

humidity or smoke.

• Avoid exposing the interactive whiteboard to extreme heat or cold. The operating temperature

range is from 41°F to 85°F (5°C to 29°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-condensing). The

shipping and storage range is from 14°F to 95°F (-10°C to 35°C) with up to 80% humidity (non-

condensing).

• If possible, unplug the unit before thunderstorms. However, don’t touch the unit or its power

plug during a thunderstorm as there is a risk of electrical shock.

• Unplug the unit if you won’t use it for an extended period.

• Use safe practices when you’re plugging in the power cable. For example, plug it in with dry

hands and don’t insert it into a dusty outlet. Unplug the interactive whiteboard before you

install or service any components.

• Your SMART product comes with a power plug that works with your country’s power outlets. If

the power plug is a three-prong, grounding-type power plug (designed to fit into a grounding-

type power outlet) and you’re unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to

replace the outlet. Don’t modify the power plug.

• Handle the power cord carefully and avoid bending it excessively. Route the power cord so it’s

unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it. 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 contrasting color.

• If your SMART product requires replacement parts, use parts that are specified by SMART

Technologies.

Introduction

The SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard adds touch-screen control and

writing capability to your flat-panel display while only minimally increasing its depth.

The SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard includes an overlay, SMART

Board software and a pen tray equipped with an eraser and color pens. With these tools, you can

write over the on-screen image by simply picking up a pen and writing on the interactive

whiteboard.

NOTE: As an alternative, you can order a controller instead of the pen tray. You won’t have access

to the pen tray tools, but you’ll still have touch control, and you can use the many features of

SMART Board software to create written notes.

Interactive Whiteboard Technology

When you’ve installed the interactive whiteboard, you can view the flat-panel display’s image

through the interactive whiteboard, and you can control any displayed computer application by

touching the interactive whiteboard.

The interactive whiteboard includes DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology, which uses digital

cameras to track objects that interact with the interactive whiteboard. Each camera is calibrated to

recognize the position of a pen tray tool or your finger.

About This Guide

This guide shows you how to install your interactive whiteboard. For operating instructions, refer to

the SMART Board Software User’s Guide or the Help that comes with SMART Board software.

Components of the Interactive Whiteboard

There are several configurations of the SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive

whiteboard. All configurations include an overlay and SMART Board software, but some

configurations also include components such as a pen tray and a Display Control icon strip.

The overlay, which includes embedded digital cameras in the top-left and top-right corners, is

mounted onto your flat-panel display.

The pen tray attaches to your overlay and includes four colored pens and an eraser. To write over

the computer image, just pick up a pen and write on the interactive whiteboard as you’d write on a

standard whiteboard.

SMART Board software includes all the tools you need to write notes over any application and to

save these notes. The software features include:

• Notebook™ software – an application that you can use to organize, save and share your

notes. Notebook software also has many writing tools and is great for creating presentations

or jotting down notes during a presentation or meeting.

• SMART Recorder – an application that can record everything you do on the screen

• SMART Video Player – an application for the Windows operating system that allows you to

play video files, write over these videos, and then save or clear these notes

• SMART Keyboard – a virtual keyboard that you can use to enter text into an application and

convert your handwritten notes to typed text
