interactive whiteboard system.
Maintaining the interactive whiteboard
For information on maintaining the interactive whiteboard, see the
SMARTBoard M600 interactive
whiteboard installation guide
(smarttech.com/kb/170555).
With proper care, the SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free
service.
Preventing damage to the interactive whiteboard
Although the interactive whiteboard’s surface is very durable, take the following precautions to
prevent damage.
l Don’t use sharp or pointed objects, such as ballpoint pens or pointers, as writing tools.
l Replace the pen nib when the nib wears out.
l Don’t use low-odor dry-erase markers because they can be very difficult to erase. Use
standard (high-odor) dry-erase markers that show a warning to use them only in well-ventilated
areas.
l Don’t use adhesive tape on the interactive surface.
