Your interactive whiteboard will be touch sensitive after you install SMART Product
Drivers on your connected computer. Perform the brief calibration and user orientation
procedures (see page 15) to ensure the interactive whiteboard interprets the location
of your touch accurately.
Connecting the USB cable
Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard has a USB 2.0 interface that runs at
speeds of up to 12 Mbps. Your interactive whiteboard’s main USB connection is
located on the bottom of the pen tray. The connector is a USB Type-B receptacle. The
unit works with full-speed USB 2.0- and USB 1.1-compliant interfaces.
WARNING
For operating safety and to prevent damage to your interactive whiteboard,
connect its USB connector, or SMART connection extenders, only 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 CSA/UL/EN 60950 and bear the
CE mark and CSA and/or UL marks for CSA/UL 60950.
