Do not open or disassemble the SMART product. You risk electrical shock from the high voltage inside the casing. Opening the casing also voids your warranty. Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to touch the surface of your SMART product. Rather, mount the product at the appropriate height.

SMART Settings appears. Updating firmware Your interactive flat panel uses firmware on its processor. After you update SMART software, a new firmware executable file could save on your computer. When you connect a computer with this file to your interactive flat panel, your interactive flat panel detects this executable file, and then prompts you to run the file to update the firmware.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions using your computer’s mouse and keyboard. Don’t touch the interactive flat panel’s screen. 4. Select the check box for the SMART product you want to update, and then click Next. A progress bar appears. 5. When the installation is complete, calibrate your interactive flat panel (see Calibrating your interactive flat panel on the next page).
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, which interprets this information as mouse clicks, digital ink or ink removal in the appropriate location.
