  • Page 3: Important Information

    SMART Board should provide years of trouble-free service. WARNING If you use a projector with your SMART Board, do not view directly or stare into the beam of light created by the projector. Be especially careful to instruct children not to look in the direction of, or stare at, the beam of light created by the projector.
  • Page 4 Cleaning the Writing Surface Before you clean the SMART Board, you should first log off. If you touch the screen when the computer is in any other state (e.g., with a program open or at the desktop), pressure applied to the screen will activate program components or scramble desktop icons. We therefore recommend that you first log off, and then put the projector into standby mode to more easily view dirt and streaks.
