10 | CHAPTER 2 – ADDITIONAL DETAILS FOR INSTALLING YOUR INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Choosing an Installation Location
Choose a location for your SMART Board 600i4 or D600i4 interactive whiteboard
system that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows or strong overhead
lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on your interactive
whiteboard and can reduce the contrast of the projected image.
Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and minimum clearance to accommodate your
interactive whiteboard system. Install the projector and your interactive whiteboard on
the same flat surface. For best presentation alignment, mount your interactive
whiteboard system in a location central to your audience’s viewing direction.
For mobile installation or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized
SMART reseller.
WARNING
• When mounting the projector boom on a framed or hollow wall, attach both
the mounting bracket and safety tether to a stud to safely support the
projector’s weight. If you use only drywall anchors, the drywall can fail,
resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
• If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector’s boom will be
free to swing. Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from
the unit without first supporting the projector boom.
Recommended Mounting Heights
SMART includes a mounting template with each of its SMART Board 600i4 or D600i4
interactive whiteboard systems. If you lose this template, contact your authorized
SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you:
• Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, while maintaining
enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
• Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard
to align the projected image with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults
of average height, although you should consider the general height of your user
community when you choose a position for your interactive whiteboard.
