7 | CHAPTER 2 – INSTALLING THE SMART INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY
Determining the Best Location for the
Interactive Pen Display
Install the interactive pen display in a cool, dry location without excessive levels of
dust, humidity and smoke. Operate the interactive pen display in an environment
within a temperature range of 41°F and 95°F (5°C to 35°C) and within a humidity
range of 20% to 80% (non-condensing). You can store the interactive pen display
within a temperature range of 14°F to 140°F (-10°C to 60°C) and a humidity range of
20% to 90% (non-condensing).
Take into consideration that the interactive pen display itself will generate heat
whenever it’s turned on. To maintain a consistent operating temperature, don’t block
or cover any of the ventilation holes on the back of the unit. Other external factors can
affect the interactive pen display, such as the heat generated by control systems or
other electronic equipment. Make sure there is adequate airflow around the unit.
Keep the computer keyboard and the mouse close to the interactive pen display
because the pen won’t function until you install SMART Notebook software and open
SMART Board tools. You should also keep your computer within 19 1/2' (6.0 m) of the
unit. This distance protects against signal degradation that occurs with a longer USB
cable. The video cable also has length limitations, so you shouldn’t use an RGB video
cable that’s longer than 50' (15 m).
To alleviate glare, you can use the attached tilt stand to angle the interactive pen
display. Alternatively, you can use a tilt stand that conforms to the standard sizes
set by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). When installing a
VESA-compatible stand, use M4 screws (0.16" or 4 mm wide with a 0.03" or 0.7 mm
pitch) that are no longer than 0.59" (15 mm).
Setting Up Your Work Area
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position
your SMART Podium ID422w, the pen, and your keyboard for easy access without
unnecessary reaching. The pen display and any other displays should be positioned
so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.
• Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
• Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.
• Alternate tasks throughout the day.
• Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive
movements that cause discomfort.
• Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
