Installing your interactive flat panel
Choosing a mounting location
Consider the following when you select a location for the interactive flat panel:
The wall must be strong enough to support the interactive flat panel and the mounting equipment.
l
The interactive flat panel weighs 169.8 lb. (77 kg).
Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your
l
interactive flat panel. For best presentation alignment, mount your interactive flat panel in a
location that's central to your audience's viewing direction.
Choose a location for your interactive flat panel that's far from bright light sources, such as
l
windows and strong overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on
your interactive flat panel and can cause glare.
For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller
(smarttech.com/where).
Choosing a mounting height
Mount the interactive flat panel according to audience and/or user(s) height. The flat panel height is
based on the midpoint between the reach of the students and the teacher.
Cable management
When connecting cables from the interactive flat panel to a computer and other peripheral devices,
ensure the cables aren't a trip hazard. The use of channels and raceways safely hides cables. For
accessories and options, contact your authorized SMART reseller.
