Keeping The Writing Surface Clean; Cleaning The Pen Tray - Smarttech Smart Board 800 series User Manual

CHAPTER 4
USING AND MAINTAINING THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD
Don't use low-odor dry-erase markers because they can be very difficult to erase. Use
l
standard (high-odor) dry-erase markers that show a warning to use them only in well-ventilated
areas.
Don't use adhesive tape on the interactive surface.
l
Don't use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals to clean your product.
l
Don't use compressed air to clean the interactive whiteboard's cameras. The force of the air
l
could damage them.

Keeping the writing surface clean

With proper care, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free
service. Follow these tips to keep the interactive whiteboard's surface clean:
Don't spray cleaner directly onto the interactive whiteboard's surface. Instead, spray a light
l
amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the interactive surface.
Clean your interactive whiteboard at least every six months.
l
Don't allow excess cleaner to flow onto the frame's reflective surfaces or into the pen tray
l
slots.
The digital cameras located in the corners of the frame are protected from dust and dirt by
l
windows. In extremely dusty environments, spray an alcohol-free household glass cleaner,
such as Windex® cleaner, on a cotton swab and rub it gently on the windows. Don't use
compressed air to clean the cameras.
IMPORTANT
Turn the interactive whiteboard off before you clean it so that you do not scramble the
o
desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you wipe the interactive
surface.
To view dirt or streaks more easily, set the projector to standby (lamp off) mode.

Cleaning the pen tray

If the infrared sensors in the sides of the pen tools' slots become obstructed by dirt, moisten a
cotton swab with an alcohol-free household glass cleaner, such as Windex, and then carefully clean
the infrared transmitter and receiver.
