30 | CHAPTER 4 – USING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD
• Don’t use abrasive erasers or harsh chemicals to clean your product.
• Don’t set up and use your interactive whiteboard in an area with high levels of
dust, humidity or smoke.
• Don’t use compressed air to clean the interactive whiteboard’s cameras because
the force of the air could damage them.
Keeping the writing surface clean
With proper care, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years of
trouble-free service. Follow these tips to keep the interactive whiteboard’s surface
clean:
• Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the interactive whiteboard’s surface. Instead,
spray a light amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the interactive
surface.
• Clean your interactive whiteboard at least every six months.
• Don’t allow excess cleaner to flow onto the frame’s reflective surfaces, or into the
pen tray slots.
• The digital cameras located in the corners of the frame are protected from dust
and dirt by windows. In extremely dusty environments, spray a household,
alcohol-free glass cleaner, such as Windex® cleaner, on a cotton swab and rub it
gently on the windows. Don’t use compressed air to clean the cameras.
IMPORTANT
• Turn your interactive whiteboard off before you clean it so that you do not
scramble the desktop icons or inadvertently activate applications when you
wipe the interactive surface.
• To view dirt or streaks more easily, set your projector to standby (lamp off)
mode.
Cleaning the pen tray’s sensors
If the infrared sensors in the sides of the pen tools’ recesses become obstructed by
dirt, moisten a cotton swab with a household glass cleaner, such as Windex, and then
carefully clean the infrared transmitter and receiver.
