3. Press SMART Board Settings.

If you connect a different computer (for example, a laptop) to the
interactive whiteboard, turn the SMART Bulb Saver off. This screen
saver responds to periods of inactivity in the internal computer, so it
may unexpectedly interrupt the image from an external computer if you
don't turn it off.
