Contacting SMART Technical Support

SMART Technical Support welcomes your call. However, if you experience difficulty 
with your SMART product, you might want to contact your 

authorized SMART reseller

 

first. Your local reseller might be able to resolve the issue without delay.

Before contacting SMART Technical Support, make note of your SMART Board V280 
interactive whiteboard’s serial number, and then note it in the inside cover of this 
manual (if you printed it).

To determine your

interactive whiteboard’s

serial number

The serial number is located on the lower right edge of your interactive whiteboard’s 
frame if you are facing the front of your interactive whiteboard, and also under its
pen tray.

The serial number matches your interactive whiteboard’s model number and has 
the following format: SBV280-xxxxxx.
