Installing the Interactive Whiteboard
To install your SMART Board for Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard, you’ll have to:
1. mount the overlay on the flat-panel display (see below)
2. attach either a pen tray (page 10) or a controller (page 13)
3. complete the installation (page15)
1. If your flat-panel display is already installed, check that the flat-panel display and its wall
mount or stand still have all of their hardware, including their screws and bolts. If your flat-
panel display is not installed, install it. For more information, see the instructions provided with
the flat-panel display.
2. If your flat-panel display has removable handles, remove them to make the installation easier.
3. If anything protrudes from the front of the flat-panel display that could potentially scratch the
overlay when it’s mounted (for example, a manufacturer’s name or logo) consider sticking one
of the provided spacing pads over it.
IMPORTANT
The installation procedure varies depending upon whether you ordered your
interactive whiteboard with or without a pen tray.
CAUTION Before you mount the flat-panel display and the interactive whiteboard onto a stand
or wall mount, make sure that the combined weight does not exceed the maximum
weight specified by the stand or wall mount’s manufacturer.
To calculate the combined weight, add the flat-panel display’s weight (this should
be stated in the user's guide for the flat-panel display) to the interactive
whiteboard’s weight (this is stated in the Support section of www.smarttech.com on
the product-specific Specifications page).
Also, if the flat-panel display and the interactive whiteboard are mounted onto a
wall, the wall must be strong enough to support the combined weight.
IMPORTANT
Don’t mount an interactive whiteboard in portrait mode. The interactive whiteboard
will work only when its cameras are in the top-left and top-right corners.

To mount the overlay on a flat-panel display

CAUTION You’ll need assistance with several of the steps in this procedure. Both the flat-
panel display and the overlay are heavy.
