The SMART Board MX Series displays may experience the following issues:
1. Flickering or Flashing Image – Check the video input by pressing the *Input* button on the front control panel or remote control and selecting *OPS*. If the home screen appears correctly, the issue is with the video input.
2. Dim Image – Ensure the iQ appliance is securely installed with its power light on. Switch inputs and back, check connected computers for power or energy-saving mode, restart the display and computers, set computers to supported resolution and refresh rates, or replace video cables.
3. No Image via USB Type-C – Ensure the computer supports *DisplayPort Alternate Mode* via USB Type-C (check for DisplayPort logo). Use a SuperSpeed (5Gbps) USB cable with the correct internal wiring.
4. Bright Spots on the Screen – Press the *Home* button on the front control panel or remote control. If the home screen appears correctly, the issue is with the video input. If the problem persists, send a photograph to SMART support for warranty evaluation.
5. Incorrect Colors – Minor color differences may occur between side-by-side displays. If a screen lacks a color or has color issues on the home screen, contact the reseller for support. If using a VGA input, try a different cable or video source.
These troubleshooting steps help identify and resolve display issues.
If the display requires replacement parts, make sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by SMART Technologies or parts with the same characteristics as the original. Ensure that any cables that cross the floor to the display are properly bundled and marked to avoid a trip hazard.

Connecting power and turning on the display for the first time About energy saving modes SMART recommends that only trained installers install the display. This chapter is for installers. Installers should read this information along with the installation instructions included with the display before they install the display.
Chapter 2 Installing the display Important Move the display at your own risk. SMART cannot accept liability for damages or injury that occur during the display’s transportation. When moving the display: Follow local safety regulations and standards. Pack the display in its original packaging, including the pallet.
If the display’s glass is cracked or chipped, have it professionally inspected and repaired at a SMART authorized repair center. If the display’s glass shatters, carefully clean up the area and have the display repaired or replaced.
Chapter 2 Installing the display Choosing a location A display is typically installed at the room’s focal point, such as at the front of a classroom or meeting space. Selecting an appropriate location for the display is crucial for ensuring the best possible experience with the product.
Page 24
Chapter 2 Installing the display Factor Considerations Visibility The display’s screen is clearly visible to all users in the room. SMART recommends users sit within a 178° viewing area: Note The viewing area depends on the display’s resolution and a variety of other factors.
Be sure the wall you’re installing the display on can support the weight of the display and mounting equipment. If it can’t, consider using a SMART wall stand to transfer some of the weight from the wall to the floor (see smarttech.com/accessories).
Contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where) for information on SMART’s mounting options. If you choose a third-party option rather than one of SMART’s mounting options, be sure the wall mount can accommodate the display’s dimensions and support the display’s weight as well as the weight of any attached accessories.
Page 27
Mount the display vertically (90° relative to the floor plus or minus 2° for tolerance) and in landscape orientation. SMART doesn’t support mounting the display at other angles or in portrait orientation. Use the included wall mount. Optionally, use a VESA-approved mounting plate that is rated for the display’s weight and size.

2. Dim Image – Ensure the iQ appliance is securely installed with its power light on. Switch inputs and back, check connected computers for power or energy-saving mode, restart the display and computers, set computers to supported resolution and refresh rates, or replace video cables.
3. No Image via USB Type-C – Ensure the computer supports *DisplayPort Alternate Mode* via USB Type-C (check for DisplayPort logo). Use a SuperSpeed (5Gbps) USB cable with the correct internal wiring.
4. Bright Spots on the Screen – Press the *Home* button on the front control panel or remote control. If the home screen appears correctly, the issue is with the video input. If the problem persists, send a photograph to SMART support for warranty evaluation.
5. Incorrect Colors – Minor color differences may occur between side-by-side displays. If a screen lacks a color or has color issues on the home screen, contact the reseller for support. If using a VGA input, try a different cable or video source.
These troubleshooting steps help identify and resolve display issues.
