Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System Consult the SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system installation documents that came with your product for instructions on how to install your product and use the mounting template and the ECP. IMPORTANT Use the instructions found in the UF55/UF55w projector boxes to install your system, not the instructions in your SMART Board interactive whiteboard product box.
SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard systems can operate in a temperature range of 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) from sea level to an altitude up to 6000' (0 m to 1829 m) and in a temperature range of 41°F to 86°F (5°C to 30°C) from 6000' to 9800' (1829 m to 2987 m).
Before Installing Your SMART Board 600i3 Interactive Whiteboard System Choose a location for your SMART Board 600i3 interactive whiteboard system that is far from bright light sources, such as windows or overhead lighting.
