Before we go any farther...
Before we go any farther, lets lock the
Smartboard in place so it will not move. If you
have the displayed image in the desired location,
lock the casters on the base of the Smartboard.
If the board or cart is moved after we orient the
board, you will have to repeat the
orientation. Lets move on. Lock the casters
and click the Orient button

Orient the board
Now, walk to the Smartboard and use a finger to
touch each red icon firmly. Follow the
progression until you have touched each
icon. The set up is now complete and the board
can be used as an alternative input device!!!

Useful Tips

• Yes the kids can use itThat is why it is here
• Both the computer and the Smartboard can be used
  at the same time for input.
• The markers do not really mark. You can put one
  in your pocket and use your finger if you wish.
• Board will not erase unless all markers are in
  tray.
