This //**Quick Reference Guide**// provides an overview of the information you need to begin using a SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard. Before you begin, make sure the appropriate SMART Board software has been loaded on your computer. **//Starting the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard//** 1 Ensure the interactive whiteboard and projector are connected to the computer. 2 Turn on the projector, then the computer. The interactive whiteboard draws power from the computer and will be  activated automatically. The Ready Light, indicating the status of your interactive whiteboard, will be red while the SMART Board and the computer are establishing communication. **NOTE** : Depending on the model of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard you are using, the Ready Light is either located on the right side of the SMART Pen Tray or the lower-right of the frame bezel. 3 Log on, if required, using the computer keyboard. When the Ready Light on the pen tray turns green, the computer and the interactive whiteboard have established communication. The SMART Board is now touch sensitive, and you can open any application available on the connected computer. **// Orienting the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard //** You should orient your interactive whiteboard when setting it up, or if either the projector or interactive whiteboard has been moved since you last used it. 1 Press and hold the ** Keyboard ** and the ** Right Mouse ** button simultaneously until the Orientation screen appears. 2 Begin the orientation process at the upper left corner of the Orientation screen. Press your finger or pen firmly on the center of each cross in the order indicated by the white, diamond-shaped graphic.

To open an application such as an Internet browser, double-press the application icon with your finger. //**Writing and Erasing Notes** // To write over your desktop image or application, pick up a pen from the pen tray and write on the interactive whiteboard. To write in a different color, pick up a different-colored pen. The color recognition comes from the optical sensors in the pen-tray slots and not from the pens themselves. Pick up the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes to erase them. **NOTE** **:** The interactive whiteboard only recognizes the last tool removed from the pen tray. For example, if you already have a pen in your hand when you pick up the eraser, the interactive whiteboard will assume you want to erase, regardless of whether you touch the board with a pen or an eraser. To avoid confusion, return each tool to its proper slot when you have finished using it. //**Saving Your Notes**// You can easily save the notes you have written on your interactive whiteboard for future reference. 1 Pick up a pen from the pen tray. The Floating Tools toolbar will appear. **NOTE** : If the Floating Tools toolbar does not appear when you pick up a  pen, you may be working in an Ink Aware application (e.g., Microsoft  Word). If the application is Ink Aware, these buttons will be available in the application’s own toolbar. 2 To save a selected area of your notes, press the ** Area Capture ** button on  the Floating Tools toolbar. Press the interactive whiteboard and, without releasing pressure, drag the selection box using your finger to outline the area you want to capture. **NOTE** : The Screen Capture button in Ink Aware applications will capture an  image of your entire screen. 3 **Notebook**™ software will open automatically, and your capture will be saved to a new Notebook page. 4 Select the unsaved Notebook file from the taskbar to view your captured image in Notebook software. Select ** File > Save ** to save your notes for future reference. **//Notebook Software//** Notebook software acts as an electronic notebook that can be used to edit, save and distribute information written on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Open Notebook software by pressing ** Start > Programs > ** SMART Board Software > SMART Notebook. //**Additional training material on how to use Notebook software is available at www.smarttech.com/trainingcenter. **// Floating Tools Toolbar Area Capture button SMART Aware Toolbar Screen Capture button in the content of your new page here.
