To orient the interactive whiteboard
1. Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray (Windows computers) or in the Dock
(Macintosh computers), and press Orient.
The orientation screen appears.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, pressing your finger squarely on each target.
NOTE: If you press on the targets out of sequence or inaccurately, a Bad Orientation Point
dialog box appears. Use the mouse to click OK, because touch awareness isn't available.
3. When the orientation screen disappears, test the orientation by moving your finger across the
interactive whiteboard. The pointer should track your finger very closely and appear directly
beneath the center of your fingertip.
NOTE: If the pointer doesn't accurately track your finger, calibrate the digital cameras
(page 32).
To change the orientation level
1. Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray (Windows computers) or in the Dock
(Macintosh computers), and press Control Panel.
2. Press SMART Board Settings.
3. Select Alignment/Orientation Precision from the drop-down list.
4. Press Quick (4 points), Standard (9 points) or Fine (20 points).
5. Press OK.
NOTE: This setting remains in effect for all subsequent orientations until you change the
orientation level again.

Configuring the COM Port for a Serial Connection

If you connect the interactive whiteboard to a serial port on your computer using the optional DB9-
to-DB9 serial cable, you must select the serial (COM) port in SMART Board software.
NOTE: If you've connected the standard SMART USB adapter cable to a USB port on your
computer, you don't need to configure a serial (COM) port. Ignore the procedure that follows.
To configure a COM port
1. Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray (Windows computers) or in the Dock
(Macintosh computers), and press Control Panel.
2. Press SMART Board Settings.
The SMART Board Settings dialog box appears.
3. Press the Add SMART Product arrow button.
