Using and Maintaining the Interactive Whiteboard

This section includes basic instructions on using SMART Board software with the In-Wall Rear
Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard. However, refer to the SMART Board software
online Help for detailed information on using all the software features.

Using the System Components

Your system consists of the In-Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard, the
projector and the computer. Your interactive whiteboard is always ready to use, but depending on
your system preferences, you may have to start the other components to use them, and shut them
down after use.
To turn on the system components
1. Turn on your projector and check that the projector lamp is on.
2. Turn on your computer.
3. When the computer desktop appears on the interactive whiteboard, touch the screen.
– If a pointer appears and it tracks the movement of your finger, your interactive whiteboard
is ready to use.
– If the pointer fails to track your finger movements, use the trackball mouse on the
keyboard to double-click the SMART Board icon on the screen and reconfigure the
computer port (page 33).
To turn off the components
1. Close any open computer programs.
2. Shut down the computer.
3. Put the projector into Standby mode using the projector's remote control. Doing this allows the
lamp to cool before final shutdown.
4. Turn off the projector. Your projector's manual may recommend that you wait a few minutes
before doing this, so the projector's fans can cool down the lamp.

Learning about the SMART Board Tools

With SMART Board software, you can use many features that help you write over any computer
application. Read the SMART Board software online Help for more details.
NOTE: You must have the SMART Board tools open to use the pen tray pens and eraser. To open
SMART Board tools, either select Start > Programs > SMART Board Software > SMART Board
Tools (Windows computers), or open the SMART Board software folder and select SMART Board
Tools (Mac computers).
A light press on the interactive screen is the same as a left click with a mouse, so just press with
your finger to activate windows or program controls. Make two distinct presses on the screen to
double-click.
