Maintaining your interactive whiteboard
For information on maintaining your interactive whiteboard, see the
SMARTBoard M600
interactive whiteboard installation guide
(smarttech.com/kb/170555).
With proper care, your SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free
service.
Preventing damage to your interactive whiteboard
Although the surface of your interactive whiteboard 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.
