Refer to the SMART Board M600i6 interactive whiteboard user's guide (smarttech.com/kb/170410) for in-depth information on using your interactive whiteboard and its features. When you connect your SMART Board interactive whiteboard to a computer with SMART software, you can access the full capabilities of your interactive whiteboard.
For information on maintaining your interactive whiteboard, see the SMART Board M600 interactive whiteboard installation guide (smarttech.com/kb/170555). With proper care, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free service. Preventing damage to your interactive whiteboard Although the surface of your interactive whiteboard is very durable, take the following precautions to prevent damage.
C H A P T E R 4 Maintaining your interactive whiteboard system Don’t use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals to clean your product. The digital cameras located in the corners of the frame are protected from dust and dirt by windows.
C H A P T E R 4 Maintaining your interactive whiteboard system Do not spray cleaners, solvents or compressed air directly on the projector. Do not use spray cleaners or solvents near any part of the projector because they can damage or stain the unit. Spraying the system could spread a chemical mist on some of the projector’s components and lamp, resulting in damage and poor image quality.
Thoroughly clean the area around the projector, and discard any edible items placed in that area because they could be contaminated. Call your authorized SMART reseller for instructions. Do not attempt to replace the lamp. Replacing the lamp module in a wall-mounted projector can result in a fall or injury. Use caution when climbing a ladder, and consider removing the projector from the wall-mounting bracket to replace the lamp module.
Page 35
Wear protective eyewear while changing the lamp module. Failure to do so can cause injuries including loss of eyesight if the lamp shatters or bursts. Use only replacement lamp modules approved by SMART Technologies. Contact your authorized SMART reseller for replacement parts.
Page 36
C H A P T E R 4 Maintaining your interactive whiteboard system 5. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws from the bottom of the lamp module and gently remove the lamp module. N O T E Don’t try to remove these screws.
C H A P T E R 4 Maintaining your interactive whiteboard system 4. Replace the lamp cover. 5. Connect the power cable to the wall outlet. 6. Press the Power button once on the remote control to confirm that the projector is operating and that the lamp module is correctly installed.

Resolving operation issues To resolve operation issues, complete the following tasks: Confirm that all cables are securely connected to the back of the pen tray, computer and control module.
Resolving projector issues Resolving projector errors System administrators can resolve the following projector errors on their own prior to contacting SMART Support. Performing initial troubleshooting on your projector reduces the time of a support call. Your projector stops responding If your projector stops responding, perform the following procedure.
26. 4. If replacing the lamp module doesn’t resolve the issue, put the projector into Standby mode, disconnect the power cable, and then contact your authorized SMART reseller. The projector Power and Service lights are off If the projector Power and Service lights are both off, one of the following issues is occurring: There was a power outage or a power surge.
If a video source signal isn’t detected, if it’s out of range of the projector’s support video modes or if the signal is being switched to a different device or input, the projector doesn’t show a source signal and instead displays the SMART logo on a blue screen. smarttech.com/kb/170549...
1. Select Start > Control Panel. 2. Click Display, and then select Adjust resolution. 3. Verify that your display resolution setting is 1024 × 768 (SMART UF70 projector), 1280 × 800 (SMART UF70w projector in 16:10 aspect ratio mode) or 1280 × 720 (SMART UF70w projector in 16:9 aspect ratio mode).
5. Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet, and then wait at least 60 seconds. 6. Connect the power cable, and then turn on the projector. 7. If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue, contact your authorized SMART reseller. smarttech.com/kb/170549...
