Important information

IMPORTANT

There are critical software updates for the display that you

need to installto ensure the display is fully functional and

provides the best experience.Connect the display and iQ

appliance to a wired or wireless network with Internet access

to automatically download and apply these updates as well as

future updates.

WARNING

l Failure to follow the installation instructions included with

the display could result in injury and product damage

which may not be covered by the warranty.

l Do not open or disassemble the display.You risk

electrical shock from the high voltage inside the casing.

Opening the casing also voids the warranty.

l Do not stand (or allow children to stand) on a chair to

touch the surface of the display.Rather, mount the

product at the appropriate height.

l To reduce the riskof fire or electric shock, do not expose

the display to rain or moisture.

l If the display requires replacement parts, make sure the

service technician uses replacement parts specified by

SMARTTechnologies or parts with the same

characteristics as the original.

l Ensure that any cables that cross the floor to the display

are properly bundled and marked to avoid a trip hazard.

l Do not insert objects inside the cabinet ventilation holes,

because they could touch dangerous voltage points and

cause electric shock, fire or product damage which may

not be covered by the warranty.

l Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. Damage

to the cable could cause shock, fire or product damage

which may not be covered by the warranty.

l Useonly extension cords and outlets that can fully

accommodate the display’s polarized plug.

l Use the power cable provided with the display. If a power

cable is not supplied,contact your supplier. Use only

power cables that match the AC voltage of the power

outlet and that comply with your country’s safety

standards.

l If the glass is broken, do not touch the liquid crystal.To

prevent injury, handle glass fragments with care when

disposing of them.

l Do not move or mount the display by connecting rope or

wire to its handles. The display is heavy, and failure of the

rope, wire or handle could lead to injury.

l Use only VESA®-approved mounts if using a mount other

than the one supplied with the display..

l Disconnect all of the display’s power cables from the wall

outlet and seek assistance from qualified service

personnel if any of the following occur:

The power cable or plug is damaged

Liquid is spilled into the display

Objects fallinto the display

The display is dropped

Structural damage, such as cracking,occurs

The display behaves unexpectedly when you

follow operating instructions

l Before inserting or removing the iQ appliance from the

display, turn off the display using the switch at the back of

the display. See Open Pluggable Slot computer (OPS)

disclaimer for more information.

CAUTION

l Turn off the display before cleaning its screen.

Otherwise,you may scramble the desktop icons or

inadvertently activate applications when you wipe the

screen.

l Avoid setting up and using the display in an area with

excessive levels of dust,humidity, and smoke.

l Make sure an electrical socket is near the display and

remains easily accessible during use.

l The display should be used only with European TN and

TT power distribution systems.

It is not suitable for older, IT-type power distribution

systems found in some European countries. This system

(IT-type) is widely used isolated from earth, in some

installations in France,with impedance to earth, at

230/400V, and in Norway,with voltage limiter, neutral

not distributed, at 230V line-to-line.

Contact qualified personnel if you’re uncertain of the type

of power system available where you’re installing the

display.

l The accessory slot’s maximum available power is 60 W.

The slot is not a limited power source. To reduce the risk

of fire, make sure that accessories connecting to the slot

satisfy the fire enclosure requirements of IEC60950-1.

Important information

smarttech.com/kb/171257 4

l You must connect the USB cable that came with the

display to a computer that has a USB compliant interface

and that bears the USB logo.In addition, the USB source

computer must be compliant with IEC 60950-1 and/or

IEC 62368-1. The source computer must be CE marked

and carry safety certification marks for Canada and USA.

This is for operating safety and to avoid damage to the

display.

IMPORTANT

l Move the display at your own risk. SMART cannot accept liability for damages or injury that occur

during the display’s transportation.

l When moving the display

Follow local safety regulations and standards.

Pack the display in its original packaging, including the pallet.

Move the display so that its top frame faces up.

Have at least two people move the display.

TIP

Display packaging may be labeled to indicate which side is the front. Look for “FRONT” on the packaging

to help orient the box during transportation.

Using transportation aides

You can use the following aides to move the display:

l Cart

l Furniture dolly

l Mechanical lift

Accommodating doorways, hallways and elevators

In some situations, you might need to remove the display from its packaging to move it through narrow

doorways or hallways or on to an elevator. In these situations, keep the foam pieces on the bottom corners

of the display. These foam pieces protect the display if you need to set it down during transportation.

You might also need to rotate the display so that its top frame faces to the side. You can do this during

transportation, but when you install the display, it must be in landscape orientation (with the top frame

facing up).
