4. Continue until you've pressed all the targets.
The orientation window closes.
5. If orientation doesn't correct inaccurate touch, calibrate the interactive flat panel (see
Calibrating the interactive flat panel below).
Calibrating the interactive flat panel
Digital cameras in the corners of the interactive flat panel track the position of the pens, eraser and
your finger on the interactive surface, and then send the information to the SMART software on
connected computers, which interprets this information as mouse clicks, digital ink or an eraser in
the appropriate location. Calibration determines the position and angles of the cameras to
accurately identify the location of touches on the interactive flat panel.
IMPORTANT
If an error message appears while you calibrate the interactive flat panel, contact SMART
Support (smarttech.com/contactsupport).

1. Open SMART Settings (see Opening SMART Settings on page 29).
