Choosing a Location for Your SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard System
Choose a location for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources and
direct sunlight such as a window or overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on the
interactive whiteboard and reduce the contrast of the projected image.
IMPORTANT
Locate a wall with a flat, regular surface and minimum clearance to accommodate your interactive whiteboard
system. Make sure that the UF55 projector and the SMART Board interactive whiteboard are installed on the
same flat surface. For best presentation alignment, SMART recommends that you mount your interactive
whiteboard system in a location that is central to your audience’s viewing direction. For mobile installation or

g this template ensures that you:
•
Mount the UF55 projector at a safe height for head-space clearance, while maintaining enough space for
airflow and installation access above the projector.
•
Position the projector at the correct height above the interactive whiteboard to make sure that the projected
image aligns with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that is suitable for adults of average height.
Consider the general height of your user community when you choose a position for the interactive whiteboard,
and consult your local regulations before mounting your interactive whiteboard.
Using the UF55 projector near a TV or radio might cause interference to the images or sound. If
this happens, move the TV or radio away from the projector.
WARNING
• When mounting the projector on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting bracket
and safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall
anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
• If you remove the bolt supporting the limit strap, the projector boom will be free to swing.
Make sure that the bolt is tightened, and never remove it from the unit without supporting the
projector boom first.
• Failure to follow the installation instructions shipped with your SMART product could result in
personal injury and damage to the product.
• Two people are required to mount the projector and the interactive whiteboard on a wall
because they might be too heavy for one person to maneuver onto their wall-mounting
brackets.
