CHAPTER 2

 – INSTALLING THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY

99-00724-00 D0

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 to 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 the SMART software and the 
SMART Board™ drivers are running. You should also keep your computer within 
19' 6" (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).

Changing the Angle of the Interactive Pen Display

You can adjust the stand to change the angle of the interactive pen display.

NOTE

For information on how to remove or install the stand, see page 12.

To change the angle of the

interactive pen display

1. Hold the interactive pen display to support its weight while you adjust the 

stand.

2. Push the stand’s locking mechanism towards the top of the interactive pen 

display, adjust the angle of the stand and then release the locking 
mechanism.
