Maintaining ventilation
Your interactive flat panel requires ventilation to enable the cooling fans to function. Dust buildup in
the ventilation holes compromises cooling and leads to product failure.
l Clean accessible ventilation holes monthly with a dry cloth.
l Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow hose end fitting to clear the back ventilation holes
regularly. You might have to remove the interactive flat panel from your wall. For more
information on removing your interactive flat panel see Removing your interactive flat panel
on the next page.
CAUTION
Avoid setting up or using your interactive flat panel in an area with excessive levels of dust,
humidity or smoke.
Preventing condensation
Your interactive flat panel screen contains layers of glass that can collect condensation, especially
in the following conditions:
l Temperature extremes with high humidity
l Rapid changes in humidity, which can occur when you operate the product near water, such as
a sink, pool, kettle or air conditioner ventilator
l Direct exposure to sunlight
To evaporate condensation from your interactive flat panel
1. Remove the humidity source from the interactive flat panel, if possible.
2. Adjust the room temperature to normal operating ranges. See the SMARTBoard 6065
interactive flat panel specifications (smarttech.com/kb/170640) for more information on
normal operating ranges .
3. Turn on the interactive flat panel and leave it on for 2–3 hours.
4. If the screen condensation doesn’t evaporate, contact SMARTSupport
(smarttech.com/contactsupport).
