Cleaning The Presence Detection Sensor; Maintaining Ventilation - Smarttech SMART Board 6000 Series Administrator's Manual

CHAPTER 5
MAINTAINING THE INTERACTIVE FLAT PANEL
Applying too much pressure when cleaning the tape or cameras can damage the tape and
l
cause performance issues or errors.
To clean the camera windows and reflective tape
1. Using a clean lint-free cloth, gently wipe the camera windows in the top corners and the
reflective tape along the top of the interactive flat panel screen.
2. Gently wipe the reflective tape along the sides of the interactive flat panel screen.
3. Gently wipe the camera windows in the bottom corners and the reflective strip across the
bottom of the interactive flat panel screen.

Cleaning the presence detection sensor

The interactive flat panel has a presence detection sensor on its bottom frame.
Inspect the sensor regularly for dust and gently wipe it using a clean lint-free cloth if buildup has
occurred.
CAUTION
Do not use compressed air, water, chemical agents or cleaning agents to clean the sensor.

Maintaining ventilation

The interactive flat panel requires proper ventilation. Dust buildup in the ventilation holes
compromises cooling and can lead to product failure.
Clean accessible ventilation holes monthly with a dry cloth.
l
Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow hose end fitting to clear the back ventilation holes
l
regularly. You might have to remove the interactive flat panel from the wall. For more
information on removing the interactive flat panel, see Removing and transporting the
interactive flat panel on the facing page.
CAUTION
Avoid setting up or using the interactive flat panel in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity or smoke.
